HIV/AIDS CHRISTMAS PARTY - UPDATE - December 1, 2010

You have been praying...and God has been responding to those prayers!!!!

On Saturday, November 20, we kicked off our Christmas season by taking the love and message of Jesus to local village hospital in Northern Thailand. A large team from NTIM and Baan Athitaan Church left early in the morning to put on a Christmas program for over 100 people at the hosptial where we have begun a new HIV/AIDS ministry.

We have been asked by the hospital to focus on supporting, helping, and ministering to 21 young children who are HIV positive. All of these children as well as their family and friends were at our Christmas Party and had great fun learning and hearing about the real message of Christmas. Most of these people heard the good news of Jesus for the very first time and received the news with open hearts. What a great joy it is to be the salt and light of Jesus in a place where God is opening huge doors of opportunity. .

Most of us took lots of pictures and enjoyed spending time sharing the love and message of Jesus but we want to say a special thanks to Ben and Jenna Winship for putting a short video clip together that truely captures the joy we experienced celebrating Christmas that day.

We also have a link to lots of pictures on our Facebook page for Baan Athitaan Church at: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=33693&l=8c794693ac&id=141698185871002

We believe in providing good quality evangelistic programs that touch the heart. We do not consider these "expenses" per se but rather "investments" into the lives of people for the Kingdom and glory of God. Would you prayerfully consider giving a donation to NTIM to help us cover our evangelism outreaches this Christmas. Your financial investments are a very practical way for you to partner with us in sharing the love message of our Lord Jesus. We can make a difference together by sending your donations to NTIM, P.O. Box 26115, Birmingham, AL 35260 USA or by giving online at www.gontim.org
