URGENT PRAYER NEEDED - Christmas In Thailand - Dec 16, 2023

I love this time of year. It is a time when Christians all over Thailand will be given numerous natural ways to share the love and message of Jesus with many who have never heard. Every year NTIM, Grace Language School, and Baan Athitaan Church make intentional efforts to care to reach out to make the most of the time and financial resources that God has given us to share the love and message of Jesus in Northern Thailand. Believe it or not, our first Christmas Outreach event began several weeks ago when we had an awesome team from a Partner church in Australia with us for a week. We did several English Fun Day outreaches where we shared about Christmas and we were able to put on a Chrismtas Program in an area where they had never ever had anyone do a presentation of Christmas. This was a good partnership with some of the IMB folks that live in this part of God’s world as well.

Many of you know that we live in a part of the world where less than 1 out of every 100 people know Jesus as their personal Savior. Put another way, 99 out of every 100 Thai people are without a personal relationship with Jesus and many have never even heart the message of Jesus. Lost without Jesus? Yes, 99% of almost 70 million people.

There are also over 70 different ethnic unreached people groups that live in this country…some of these UPGs are some of the last reached peoples in our world today. We believe God wants many of these precious people to come to know Jesus this Christmas season, but we need your help to do that. Many of the events that we have been planning require your help and we are asking that each of you help in one or all of 3 ways:

 

1) Please Help By Praying . . . Pray for our planning process that God would guide us to do what He wants us to do and say what He wants us to say and “love on” the people He wants us to “love on.” Pray that we would "seize the day" as the Christmas season is the most natural time of the year for us to talk about the message of our great Savior. Pray for our awesome staff and team. Pray for those who we partner with in ministry. Pray for the thousands of people who will hear the message through our very words this year. Here are some of our planned events. December 13 & December 14 – Awesome Volunteer Teams Arrive – A team of 8 people from Crosspoint Church of Gulfport, MS arrived on December 13 along with a team of 3 people from FBC Florence, MS arrived on December 14 to help us with our Christmas outreaches. Praise God that the covid pandemic it now behind us and God has opened up the doors for partner churches to come and help us reach Thailand again. Please pray that all of us would be the light that lights up the darkness with the love of our great Savior. December 15 - Baan Athitaan Church's Main Christmas Outreach Program - In my almost 25 years of living and serving in Thailand, I have found that the most natural time to share the message of Jesus is the Christmas season. It has also been my experience that many people open their hearts to Jesus during this season and become the first follower of Christ in their entire family. Let that sink in for a moment. Last night we had over 500 people at this event and some were hearing the message of Christmas for the first time and several of then it was the first time they had even been to a church. We hqe skits, dramas, music, food, fun and a time to share the message of Christmas, and an evangelism booth. During the message time I shared about “Christmas is for All People.” Thank you for praying for us. Please continue to pray for those who heard the message of Jesus for the first time to continue to be drawn to wanting to know more about Jesus. December 16 – Children’s ESL Christmas Outreach (Grades 1-6) - God has given us great access into our community through teaching English.  We teach English to not only young people and adults but also to children. We teach children grades 1-6 every Saturday morning and we will have an awesome time helping these precious ones celebrate Christmas. Pray that God would draw these little hearts to Him as we have a special program for these children this Saturday morning. December 17 – Christmas Outreach to Akha Village where Boom’s mom lives. God has given us great access to many different people groups. One of those people groups is the Akha people group of which one of our Thai staff is from. Please pray for us as we do this outreach this coming Sunday night. Pray that God would draw the heart of the Akha people group to Jesus. December 18 & 19 – English Fun Days with Christmas theme in two Different Government Schools. We have an English language platform called Grace Language School that gives us great access to millions of people who live in and around Northern Thailand from many different unreached people groups. On December 18 & December 19, we will be going into two different schools and putting on an English Fun Day with Christmas as our main theme. Pray for the hundreds of students that we will be around these two days. December 19 – Coffee House Christmas - Teaching English at Grace Language School is one of the natural ways that we build relationships with our students with an intentional commitment to sharing the message of Jesus. We love to do these Coffee Houses in the context of fun activities. We are so thankful to have the Volunteer Teams from the US with us to help us in our outreaches. This will be a natural time for us to share the good news in the context of warm relationships with our students. We want our students to understand that the one who created them loves them deeply and has a wonderful plan for their life. Pray for God’s working through this coffee house to draw some of the least reached peoples in our world today into a relationship with their Savior.  1) Please Help By Praying . . .

 

2) Please Help By Giving . . . We are wanting to provide 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. We are asking God to sell a few cows and send $6,000 to $10,000 to NTIM. Please prayerfully consider giving a donation to NTIM to help us cover our Christmas evangelism outreaches. Your financial investments allow us to be your hands and feet 24-7 here in the heart of the 10-40 Window.

 

3) Please Help By Asking Others To Pray.  Many people want to give in a special way at Christmas to a good cause that will really make a difference in people's lives. However, they just don't know where there is a need. This may be an opportunity for you to help your family and your friends know where their donation can make a huge difference for Jesus among some of the least reached people in our world today. We are excited about all that God is doing on this side of the world and thanking God for each of you and your partnership with us for the sake of the gospel.   Your Servants to the Nations in and around Northern Thailand for Jesus sake, Michael for the team   "...Behold, I bring you good news of a great joy which shall be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord."

Thanksgiving From The Fields of Thailand – A NTIM Update – Nov 24, 2023

Dear Family, Friends, Partners in Ministry,

As I am sitting here writing this update, it is still Thanksgiving in the USA and we are wanting to simply wish all of our Friends, Family, and Partners in ministry a very Happy Thanksgiving.

Here is a link to the Thanksgiving message that I shared with our church family here in Northern Thailand. It is a short encouragement where I walk us through Psalm 92 where God’s Word says it is good to give thanks to our Great God.  

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mIpgWuPBZo – It is good to give thanks to the Lord.

We also had a very wonderful time with our Annual “Night of Giving Thanks” through music. We have not yet finished editing the one from this past Wednesday but thought we would give you a change to listen to the one we did just a year ago. Here is the link for that:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvrZlOn6x2A&t=2965s

Please pray for us as we have already begun our Christmas outreaches and will be celebrating a Christmas program in an area where there are no churches in several villages and tonight will be the first time hundreds of people will hear the gospel for the very first time ever.

Closing Personal Thoughts from Michael.

Thank you for your prayers and for your financial support as we together join God in His great work of Redemption of the Nations, especially here in the heart of lostness in Southeast Asia.

May God richly bless you. Thank you for your generosity and for sending us to Thailand. Any gift you would like to make to our normal, everyday ministry, no matter how small or how large, helps us reach and disciple people whom many are the first persons in their entire families to know Jesus Christ.

This coming January 13, 2024 will be our 25^th anniversary of arriving in Thailand and joining God in His work in Thailand. What an awesome journey these last 25 years has been.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Until all the People in and around Northern Thailand know Him,

Michael for the team

Expanding The Kingdom of God in Thailand

 

Expanding the Kingdom of God in Thailand – A NTIM Update – September 20, 2023

Dear Family, Friends, Partners in Ministry,

I am sitting here at my desk this morning and thinking about this very important Prayer Request that we are asking all of you to pray about. We live in a broken world that is filled with grumbling, complaining, bad attitudes and just flat-out negative propaganda leads us down the path of discouragement in many areas of life if we are not careful.

One of the ways that we try and offset that negative trajectory here in Thailand is to provide “camps” from time to time that are intentionally designed to put us back on the paths God has for us and to rekindle the flame in our heart for both continuing to walk with the Lord and helping train others how to walk with the Lord.

God has blessed us with an awesome facility that we use as an English Language School, a ministry headquarters for our two foundations, and as our place to meet as a church family called Baan Athitaan Church. But God has also entrusted this facility to us to be used to bless the larger Christian community including the Northern Thailand Baptist Church Association (NTBCA), of which we are an active member.  The NTBCA has asked for us to host what we are calling a “Camp” for all of the churches in our association. The Camp begins tomorrow (Thursday) at noon and goes until Saturday at noon.

We are expecting somewhere between 200 – 300 to be in attendance with some traveling as long as 4-5 hours to be with us. Some people will be staying in our classrooms that have been converted into bedrooms for the camp and others will be staying in surrounding hotels. Here is a picture taken just a few moments ago before we begin tomorrow.

It is a big event for us and our Thai staff have been very busy getting us ready for this camp that we hope provides strong encouragement to our Baptist brothers and sisters all over the Northern Part of Thailand to live out this verse found in 1 Corinthians 15:58 that says, “Therefore my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord.”

I give you all this background so that you may know how to pray. Please pray for us over these next few days.

Soon I will give you a more thorough update on the ministry but it was important for me to ask you to pray specifically for this “Camp” in this update.

God is truly moving in the hearts of people in Northern Thailand and we here at Baan Athitaan Church in Chiangrai Thailand have said to our Lord, “Here we are, Lord, use us. We want to join you in what you are doing in the lives of people.”

As you think about missions, please remember Northern Thailand Impact Ministry (NTIM) and all the Christian organizations that are connected with NTIM.

Please also remember to pray for me as a Bible teacher. One of the most important things that I do as the Pastor of Baan Athitaan Church is to seek God’s counsel about what God wants us to Study together on Sunday mornings. I have about 30 minutes every week to speak to our church family. Sometimes we study through a book of the Bible. Sometimes we might take a theme and look at that. We are now looking at 17 of most often taught about topics of Jesus.

 

Here is the youtube link of a message that I shared with our church a few weeks ago on “What Jesus Taught on the subject of love”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgkOCXxWn3Y

Thank you for your prayers and for your financial support as we together join God in His great work of Redemption of the Nations, especially here in the heart of lostness in Southeast Asia.

Any gift you would like to make to our normal, everyday ministry, no matter how small or how large, helps us reach and disciple people whom many are the first persons in their entire families to know Jesus Christ.

The Angels In Heaven Are Rejoicing - A NTIM Update - July 19, 2023

 Dear Family, Friends, Partners in Ministry,

I am sitting here at my desk this morning and reflecting on the peace and joy that has filled my heart as I reflect on this past Sunday and I have felt compelled to write this newsletter update and give you a chance to rejoice with us knowing that God is using your donations and your prayers and your partnership with us to truly make an impact on people’s lives here in Northern Thailand. Not only does your gifts and donations go to help support us but they also go to support our Thai national staff who serve the Lord with all their heart.

Most of you know Ja and know of her loving and caring heart. We just celebrated her serving God with us for the last 20 years on June 1^st.

Ja is more than our finance/accounting person even though she does that role well. She also serves as one of our key “mentors” for the first generation of believers that come to know Jesus here and also serves as an excellent children’s teacher and helps us head up our Thai Children’s church.

This last Sunday July 16, Ja had around 40 children (grades 1-6) in Thai children’s church. She was teaching on the subject of the Kingdom of God and how Jesus instructed His disciples to not forbid the children from coming to Jesus but that the Kingdom of God welcomes the little children to come to Jesus. It was in this context that Ja felt the presence of God and felt an urge in her heart to explain the gospel and invite any of these children that wanted to accept Jesus as Savior and come into the Kingdom of God. God was truly moving in the hearts of these children and eleven (11) of the forty (40) children repented of their sins and trusted in Jesus as their Savior. Wow. The Bible tells us that the angels in heaven rejoice over 1 person who repents and turns to Jesus. Well, it is with great joy that we share with you that not 1, not 2, not 3, but 11 children repented and turned to Jesus and had their names written in the Lamb’s Book of Life this past Sunday.

God is truly moving in the hearts of people in Northern Thailand and we here at Baan Athitaan Church in Chiangrai Thailand have said to our Lord, “Here we are, Lord, use us. We want to join you in what you are doing in the lives of people.”

As you think about missions, please remember Northern Thailand Impact Ministry (NTIM) and all the Christian organizations that are connected with NTIM.

Please also remember to pray for me as a Bible teacher. One of the most important things that I do as the Pastor of Baan Athitaan Church is to seek God’s counsel about what God wants us to Study together on Sunday mornings. I have about 30 minutes every week to speak to our church family. Sometimes we study through a book like we just finished studying through Proverbs. Sometimes we might take a theme and look at that. About 10 years ago, A Bible teacher went through and counted the different subjects Jesus taught on and the counted how often Jesus taught on those subjects. Then he published this information on a post that we are going to use simply to identify the top 16 topics we are going to look at over the next 16 weeks.

Please pray for us as we started this 16 Topic series this last Sunday. Here is a link to the message from this last Sunday which was on the most often taught on subject by Jesus: God.

Here is the youtube link.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyqFyo_UGHw

Closing Personal Thoughts from Michael.

“My heart is full today as I have taken some time to reflect over the last 47 years that I have been a follower of Jesus Christ and I just want to say to the Lord in this public setting "Great is thy Faithfulness, Lord unto me. Thank you for letting me be a child of God and letting me be an ambassador for You to this great country of Thailand for the last 24 years of my life. I can truly say from my heart along with the writer of Lamentations that "The Lord's loving kindnesses indeed never cease and His mercy never fails. They are new every morning and great is His faithfulness." Lamentations 3:22-23. I can also affirm what Jeremiah said in Jeremiah 17:7 that "Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him."

Please remember to pray for us as we continue in obedience to seek to join God in what He is doing and wants to do here in Northern Thailand.

Thank you for your prayers and for your financial support as we together join God in His great work of Redemption of the Nations, especially here in the heart of lostness in Southeast Asia.

May God richly bless you. Thank you for your generosity and for sending us to Thailand.

Hope is Coming To the USA for a Brief Trip - A NTIM Update - May 31, 2023

Dear Family, Friends, Partners in Ministry,

Today is not a normal newsletter update we do have to make an announcement and ask you to pray with us about a few things. As all of you know, we are finally through the Covid 19 pandemic even though we still are getting a few cases from time to time here in Northern Thailand. But for the most part we are through the tough time. No more. What you did not know is that neither Hope or myself have been on a plane and able to travel now for about 3 years.

We truly have felt some isolation and God has opened a door for Hope to be able to make a fairly quick trip to the USA. I would like to be on this trip as well but it is not good timing for me at all. But Hope will be arriving in Birmingham, AL on June 13, in just two weeks, in the early evening and will be traveling to visit family, friends, and partners for about 5 weeks and will be leaving out of Birmingham, AL headed back to Thailand on July 18.

Please pray for Hope as she makes the plans for traveling to a few states in the South. We have family that she needs to visit in Jackson, TN, Atlanta, GA, Raliegh, NC, and she needs to see her Dad and sisters and family in Tuscaloosa, AL. Also, if you know of anyone who has a vehicle that she might be able to use during this time, please let us know. She will be flying in and out of Birmingham, AL. Also, if anyone would like for Hope to come and speak to any group about God’s work here in Thailand, please let us know and we will see if we can work something out.

May our Lord bless you. Praying that God opens the doors for Hope to be able to connect with many of you while she is there.

Love and prayers from Northern Thailand.

Until the People in and around Northern Thailand know Him,

MAKING YOUR LIFE COUNT FOR JESUS - A NTIM Update - May 25, 2023

Dear Family, Friends, Partners in Ministry,

Today is not a normal newsletter update but more of a life story of how God is mightily at work changing lives and I just felt led from God to challenge each of you to learn to listen more intently to God’s invitations to where He invites you to join Him in other people’s lives.  

I am convinced that God often invites us to join Him in His great work of redemption in the lives of others but for a number of reasons, including just being overly busy, most of us do not respond by joining God but just keep doing what we have always been doing. The result is that because we did not join God, we will not experience that absolute joy and happiness that comes into our hearts when we are obedient to God’s invitation and when we realize that God has allowed us the honor of using our life to count for Jesus for all eternity.

Most of us believe with our heads that “God has a wonderful plan for our lives,” but living out that wonderful plan for our life involves choices that we make about how we spend our time and whether we respond appropriately to God’s invitations to “interrupt” our normal schedule.

As Henry Blackaby once pointed out, “We don’t choose what we will do for God; He invites us to join Him where He wants to involve us.”

Anyone who knows me, knows that I am normally a very busy person. I enjoy doing what God has called me to do here in Northern Thailand and I want to do it with excellence and to the best of my ability so that it brings honor to Christ. I am involved in lots and lots of things and I really do have lots of things on my plate. However, I am also one of those followers of Jesus that understands that sometimes God wants to “interrupt” my schedule for something significant that He wants me to be involved in.

A little over a year ago, I sensed God inviting me to begin meeting every Saturday morning for about two hours with a Thai man who had lots of questions about God and about the Bible. Quite frankly some of the questions were very good questions that I tried to answer as best I could. It became very clear to me that God was moving in the heart of this man and so I asked all three of my previous Thai Staff that knew him to begin praying for him. This man’s wife had recently become a believer through the witness of several people in our church and the whole family, including their precious little boy, began coming to church quite regularly and I sensed God saying to my heart that God was at work in this family in a special way and wanted me to spend time with this family.

After I began meeting with this man and getting to know him better, it became very clear that this man was deeply connected with several of my previous Thai staff members (Gae, Lek, and Phet). He had seen the huge transformation in the lives of two of them who had become followers of Jesus over the last 15 or so years and this sparked a deep desire in His heart to know more about this person named Jesus who was transforming peoples’ lives at this place called Baan Athitaan Church. Sometimes we believers do not realize how powerful our lives impact others when they see how God has radically changed our lives.

What a great joy it was for me when the day finally came, where his heart was ready to become the first person in his entire family to be a follower of Jesus. God had been preparing this man’s heart and shortly after that, God gave me the opportunity to lead this young man into the arms of our Savior through faith in Jesus Christ. On September 24 of last year, God gave us the opportunity to baptize his wife. Here is the link to the day that the “wife” was baptized:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2ZYV3IDWew&t=19s

Then 3 months later on December 11, just 3 months later, we baptized both the “husband” and their son were baptized as well as another couple in our church.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NuFj_itJkU

Since the baptisms, I have been enjoying spending about 2 hours every Saturday morning with this husband and wife while one of our awesome Staff, Pii Ja, normally spends time with their son teaching him the Bible and the ways of God as well.

We are pouring our lives into these new believers helping them to grow in the grace and knowledge of our great Savior. Please pray for this family. This husband and wife are the first persons in their entire families on both sides to become followers of Jesus. Without giving out too many personal details, they are also both Professors at Mae Fah Luang University here in Chiangrai and have great influence in the lives of thousands of university students from several countries in this area including the big “C” country.

Please pray for all of us here in the heart of South East Asia where God is moving in mighty ways. Pray that we would continue to join God in helping others come to faith in Jesus Christ and then to help them grow into becoming authentic followers of Jesus Christ by learning how love God more and more each day, learning how to love our neighbors more and more each day, and learning how to walk humbly with our God in this broken and confused world.

We are now going through an excellent discipleship book that encourages us to memorize and reflect upon God's Word. This week's memory verse is John 1:12 which says, "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name."

Here is another picture that I wanted to share with you that was taken last Saturday morning, May 20, as this new follower of Christ worked with me in preparation for translating my message to our Church the following day. He also did a great job of translating for the first time in his life.

I deeply thank God for the relationships God has given me and the opportunity God has given me to use this life to count for Him in one of the places where 99% of the people around me are living in darkness and in need of our Savior Jesus Christ.

The fields truly are ripe for the harvest and let me affirm that the workers are few, just as Jesus said. Jesus also turned to His disciples and He said, “Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest field.”

God has allowed us to establish and incredible legal platform of Teaching English in Chiangrai that has been instrumental if seeing hundreds of Thai people surrender their hearts to the Lordship of Jesus. But let me be clear. We are in great need of teachers. Several teachers had to go home during the covid season and we are very short handed.

I interview new students almost every day who want to study English at our school. We have government schools who call us all the time wanting us to come and put on English camps. We are asking you to pray that God would send us 3 or 4 more Americans who would be willing to give God at least 1 or 2 years of their life and come to serve Him here in Northern Thailand with us and join God in His great work of redemption. The minimum requirement for an English teacher in our school is a Bachelor’s degree in any subject. Would you please take a moment and pray and ask for God to send some laborers for Grace Language School to Chiangrai, Thailand?

Who will Go? Please take 4 minutes and listen to this wonderful music video we call “Who Will Go?”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivGlqzgWI5o

Today we wanted to update you on God’s work here and we wanted to thank you for your prayers and for your financial support as we together join God in His great work of Redemption of the Nations, especially here in the heart of lostness in Southeast Asia.

May God richly bless you. Thank you for your generosity and for sending us to Thailand. Any gift you would like to make to our normal, everyday ministry, no matter how small or how large, helps us reach and disciple people whom many are the first persons in their entire families to know Jesus Christ.

Until the People in and around Northern Thailand know Him,
