DAY 23 - Friday is Here…. Pray for Open Hearts in Thailand - Update December 19, 2014

As I write this update, it is Friday afternoon in Thailand (it is early morning Friday in the USA) and we are all busy getting ready for our largest single evangelistic event of the year but by the time those in the USA read this since we are 12 hours ahead, our program will be in full bloom. When most of you read this (those of you in the USA) the program on the other side of the world here will be in full bloom because we are about 12 hours ahead of you so 7:00 AM in Alabama is 7:00 PM in Thailand.

As I shared with you a few days ago, Baan Athitaan Church is hosting this single largest evangelistic event of the year called “Christmas is a time for Giving.”

 

We have no idea how many people we will ha ve but in the last 10 years we have not had less than 400 people but never had more than 1,000 people. But what I want to ask you to emphasize in your prayers is to ask the Lord to help the people who come to open their hearts to the true message of Christmas and to take a little step closer to allowing Jesus to their Lord and Savior. Please pray for the blessing of God on everything that we say and do tonight. There will be lots and lots of people from some of the least reached peoples of the world here in this place tonight and some of them listening to the message of Jesus for the very first time in their lives. 

Pray for a special touch from God. We will have an evangelism table with at least one person who can speak Thai, one who can speak Chinese, and one who can speak English. We are very excited about reaching out with our Christmas celebration in just a little over an hour.

Prayer Example: “Lord, We want to begin our prayer with thanking you for the awesome opportunity that you have given to NTIM and to Baan Athitaan Church to celebrate Christmas and share the message of Jesus with many who have never heard and some from the least reached peoples in Asia. We pray that all that they do and say tonight will bring glory and honor to you and would be used to help draw many to our great Savior Jesus Christ. We ask you to open the hearts of everyone who hears and may they be drawn to you. We pray in Jesus name. Amen.”
