Dear friends,
John 13: 34-35: "I give you a new commandment: you must
love one another. As I have loved, you
must love one another. If you love one
another, everyone will know that you are my disciples. ". . . Can
EVERYONE, can EVERYONE experience that you are a disciple of Jesus?
We cannot believe it's already the middle of the year. Nowadays it seems like time fly’s faster
than a decade ago. However, there is so
many new outreach / evangelism opportunities “flying” towards us - We praise the Lord for that. Our children's ministry is really a
pleasure. Every week we share a new
text from Scripture in many practical ways with the kids. It satisfies and brings joy to our hearts
seeing how the children enjoy it.
Presently we have 35 children already and we just know that God will
send some more children when the time is right. Please pray with us and thank God for the
great privilege we have to be able to spread the Gospel and the Love the Lord
has for them. Please pray for spiritual
wisdom and insight we plough in the weekly activity program that we prepare.
The children also began to read the Thai children's Bibles
we provided. They are very excited and
read with much enthusiasm and curiosity.
The cartoon version is indeed a hit, attracting much attention. Thanks to that kind contributions to our
first phase on purchasing the Children's Bibles. Without your generosity and contributions
this project would not be possible. We
believe that the next phase of the project in providing the children with the
Thai Bible (in cartoon form) will take place soon. We will keep you informed.
We praise God that He has provided for the material to us
who enabled us to have laid down a cement slab in our back yard of our
house. We did the labor our self with
the help of Somai (a Thai friend). The
space is used for the children as a play / classroom because we need extra
space to accommodate them. Please pray
with us that God will provide a roof to put over the cement slab to protect the
class from the sun, rain and wind for we are entering our monsoon time here in
Thailand.
We received training in "Human Trafficking
Awareness." This is something
that is on our hearts to become more involved with in our region. The make the community more aware of the
dangers of this “disease” is important to us.
We are busy on a working-plan for the schools and villages to discuss
the seriousness and actions to prevent Human Trafficking to happen in the Isaan
region. More than 75% of all those used
in "Human Trafficking" in Thailand comes from the Isaan (our)
region. Main reason why the
involvement of Isaan people is so high is due to the poverty that is increasing
here. Thailand is one of the countries
where Human Trafficking is exploited the most.
Please pray with us that God will open the doors to reach the schools
and communities to make them aware of this epidemic that is also a problem
worldwide. This is also a wonderful
opportunity and way to share the Gospel and the Love of Jesus
Otherwise, we are fine.
We are healthy, lively, grateful and truly blessed to be able to live
out the Love of Jesus and He’s Light to the unreached here in Kanthararom and the
Isaan region of Thailand. We learn
every day that God’s time and our time is way different for sometimes we just
want to “storm” ahead with things and God says “No, wait” . . . but He
understands us.
Some more Prayer requests:
·
Friends, we still trust in God for the car we
need. We will really appreciate your
prayers for His grace and provision for a car.
·
Please pray for the possibility of purchasing
some more toys and learning materials that can be used for the children. The average age of the kids are 10 years
old.
