GOD IS TRULY
CHANGING LIVES IN NORTHERN THAILAND. I just finished meeting with
Nong Fang and also met with Nong Ploy earlier today in preparation for a
baptismal ceremony this coming Sunday. Both of these young women are the first
persons in their entire families to become followers of Jesus. We first met
Nong Ploy several years ago when she began studying English with us at Grace
Language School. Grace Language School is one of our key platforms that we use to reach into our community here in Northern Thailand.
One of our teachers at the time, Kara Conner, had a
very strong impact in her life and she and Pii Phet (Phuangphet
Sombatjaroenkit) led Nong Ploy to Jesus several years ago. Nong Ploy
has been studying the Bible with Pii Ja (Sutasinee Srijai) and with
others since Kara returned back to America and she is now ready to follow the
Lord in believers baptism.
We first met Nong Fang about a year ago when one of her friends from
Happy Home began to invite her to church and then this past May 20, Nong Fang
gave her heart to Jesus. Now she is ready to follow the Lord in believers
baptism. What a great joy it is for me to join God in BUILDING HIS CHURCH.
Jesus said, "I will build my church and the gates of Hell will not
stand against it." - Matthew 16:18
Let us be careful not to build our own kingdoms but to be intentional
in joining God as He builds His Church and His Kingdom. Please also join us in
prayer for Nong Ploy and Nong Fang as these 1st generation believers take this
next step of baptism and as they continue to learn how to walk as salt and
light before their families and friends.
It
takes a lot of time and resources to build relationships of genuine trust with
people but we are thankful to God for allowing us to be a small part of His plans
to draw people to the cross and to a personal relationship with Jesus.
Thank you for praying for us as we seek to lead
others to Jesus and disciple them. Thank you for coming on mission trips to
help with God’s work.
Thank you for giving through NTIM so that we can
serve here and insure that the gospel reaches into some of the least reached
people groups in the world.
Your Servant to the Nations in and around Northern Thailand,
Michael for the team
