DAY 17 –
Celebrating Christmas With Intentionality To Reach the Lost – Dec 15, 2018
As I write this update, I am reflecting on all the
events and the time of celebration we had with the community of Chiangrai this
last Saturday. We prayed, planned, prayed some more, invited a partner church
from Mississipi to come and help us, prepared, helped mobilize our church
family, and anticipating this single largest evangelistic Christmas celebration
of the year at Baan Athitaan Church…and then Saturday came.
What a great day it was filled with lots of love,
joy, and peace as we celebrated the Birth of our Savior with somewhere between
400 and 500 people, some of them hearing the story of the Birth of our Savior
for the very first time.
So very thankful for the cooperation of our church
family in preparing some awesome food booths, some great skits and
performances, and spending lots of hours getting set up before and then
cleaning up afterwards.
Thankful for your support and faithful donations
given so that we can reach and disciple 1st generation believers
from some of the least reached peoples in our world today.
Thankful for the team from Gulfport, MS that came
to help us. So very thankful for the chance to help God's people be intentional
about joining God in what He wants to do in this part of God's World. We had
somewhere between 400 to 500 people at our festivities and all of them got the
chance to hear a very clear message of the "The Hope and Warmth of
Christmas" by a very good friend and partner in Ministry Pastor Israel
Cox. Please continue to pray for the seeds of the gospel that have been planted.

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 thank you for raising
up supporting churches like Crosspoint that want to join you in what you are
doing. We pray that you will continue to work in the heart of those who heard
the message of Jesus. We pray this in Jesus name. Amen”
Thank
you for joining us in this SEASON OF PRAYER. Today is Day 17 of our Spiritual
Adventure of getting to know and then actively praying for Northern Thailand
Impact Ministry (NTIM) and all of the various unreached people group in and
around Northern Thailand. Thank you for joining us for this great time of
seeking the face of God on behalf of millions who have never heard the message
of our Lord Jesus.
Until
all the Thai people know Him,
Michael
VP
& Director of Field Operations for NTIM
