February 2009





THAILAND MISSION : FEBRUARY 2009

GREETINGS IN CHRIST TO YOU. YES ANOTHER MONTH IS GONE AND WE ARE MOVING NOW FAST TOWARDS EASTER WEEKEND.

FEBRUARY WAS FULL OF JOY ON THE ISLAND. WE HAD A VALENTYN`S PARTY AT THE HOPE CHURCH WITH 72 PEOPLE ATTENDING THE PRAISE AND WORSHIP EVENING. CHRISTIANS SHARED THEIR TESTIMONYS AND A PASTOR FROM DON SAK ON THE MAINLAND DID THE SERMON. IT WAS THE FIRST EVENT THAT VICTORY AND HOPE DID ON THEIR OWN AND WE CAN JUST PRAISE THE LORD FOR A BLESSED EVENING.

WE ALSO DID STARTED A NEW CAREGROUP AND AFTER THREE WEEKS 21 PEOPLE ATTENDED THIS CAREGROUP. WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT THE FAMILIES ATTENDING THIS GROUP, AS SOME OF THEM ARE NOT YET CHRISTIANS. AFTER A LONG ABSENCE FROM CHURCH EVENTS, BEE AND CHOMCHAAI ARE ALSO NOW ATTENDING THIS GROUP. PLEASE PRAY FOR THIS GROUPS` GROWTH IN FAITH.

SEA-FLEAS ATTACKED COBUS WHEN HE WENT DIVING. HE HAD APPROXIMATELY 500 BITEMARKS THAT DID GET INFECTED. WE DID NOT KNOW THAT THERE ARE FLEASE IN THE SEA. AFTER A LOT OF PRAYING AND GOOD MEDICINE HE IS LUCKELY NOW BETTER.

DEIRDRE DID EXPERIENCE A MIRICLE THIS MONTH. HER NECK WAS GIVING HER A LOT OF PROBLEMS FOR 5 DAYS. IT WENT INTO SPASM AND SHE COULD NOT MOVE IT AND HAD A LOT OF PAIN. AFTER 2 MASSAGES, A LOT OF PAINKILLERS AND A HOT WATERBOTTLE (MILKBOTTLE) NOT MUCH DID CHANGE. SHE WENT ON HER KNEES AND PLEADED WITH THE LORD TO HEAL HER. WHEN SHE GOT UP HER NECK WAS HEELED COMPLETELY. PRAISE THE LORD HE IS ALMIGHTY!!

WE WERE INVITED BY VICTORY CHURCH FOR A DINNER, SO WE WENT AND LATER THAT EVENING WE HAD BIBLESTUDY WITH THEM. PASTOR PRAJOUL TESTIFIED THAT THE DAY BEFORE THEY ONLY HAD 2 THAI BAHT (70 CENTS) IN THE HOUSE AND DID NOT KNOW HOW THEY ARE GOING TO GIVE US A DINNER. THEY START PRAYING … THEN A STRANGER COME IN AND GIVE THEM 1000 THAI BAHT. THE LORD PROVIDED THAT THEY COULD GIVE US DINNER AND HAD LEFT FOR THEM. WE WERE REALLY ASHAMED WHEN WE HEARD THE TESTOMONY. THEY WERE SO EXCITED ABOUT US AND WANT US TO COME AND EAT EVERY WEEK WITH THEM. WE TOLD THEM THAT IT IS NOT POSSIBLE.

LET US BE FAITHFUL IN PRAYING THAT THE BODY OF CHRIST IN THAILAND WILL BECOME UNITED TO REACH THOSE WHO HAVE NOT YET HEARD THE GOSPEL. YOUR PRAYERS ARE IMPORTANT FOR THAILAND, IT’S PEOPLE AS WELL AS FOR THOSE WHO WERE CALLED TO COME AND SERVE THE LORD IN THAILAND. ON A PRAYER JOURNEY YOU WOULD BRING WATER AND LIGHT TO THE THAILANDERS IN DIRE NEED OF THE GOSPEL.

GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
