Fellowship with other Churches - 8 October 2017

Sunday service at Gospel Christian Church in Sisaket was truly a blessed day.  We love our "other" family from Gospel Christian Church here in Sisaket.  Many churches here in Thailand, especially in the Isaan, the church has Bible Study for a hour or so before Praise and Worship starts.  It is wonderful to see how "all the church members, young and old" participate in the Bible study sessions.  The members are hungry to learn more and more from God and take all opportunities to join in on Bible studies.  

There is always time to share some testimony.  One of our brothers are going to Singapore for a work project and not just a few, but ALL the Church members stood up and prayed for him.  Jeddy (middle photo) and her father Nong (photo on the right) are so passionate in serving the Lord.  Nong is a physics teacher and evangelizes in his school every day.  Every class his has, he always prays for the children while they listen to his prayers before class.  It is goose bumps stuff when he starts talking about the conversations the students from school has with him.  Plant the seeds and God will let grow.

 Lunch at church and also a awesome time to fellowship.  The beauty and excitement from this is . . . you never know what is for lunch :) 

Finished studies - 7 October 2017

What a PROUD day it is.  We are so proud of Tabisak for finishing his Theology Studies.  By the book, Tabisak is now officially a Pastor.  We still remember when we got to Kanthararom four years ago, he was already studying to become a Pastor.  Obedience, hard work and dedication saw him through . . . and believe us, there were some tough times Tabisak and his family went through.  We are honored to share this moment with Tabisak to you all.  God is indeed raising His children up and Tabisak, his wife Kung and two sons are truly a inspiration to many off us.  We are proud to have Tabisak as the Pastor of our church here in Kanthararom.

Help at Church - 30 September 2017

We had the privilege in having the youth of City Lights Church from Ubon Ratchathani helping us with some painting that needs to be done for our Kindergarten School.  It was an awesome day of fellowship and sharing stories while everyone was at work.  These teenagers are so inspiring and they just warmed our hearts with the passion they have to serve God in all areas of their life.  We will partner again with them in the future and we know that this was the first gathering of a long standing relationship between City Lights Church and Frontida Outreach.

 Nacho and Marrilee Barrera (leaders of City Light Church) have four children.  Being grandparents ourselves, we had so much fun playing with them when the youth of City Lights Church came to paint at our church.  

Nothing better to close a day of work with some praise and worshiping together.  These kids are musicians that taught each other between themselves on playing various music instruments. They also form as the worshiping team for the church.

. . . and then we all enjoyed a wonderful lunch together. 

                            

Ban Makrud - 29 September 2017

 Ban Makrud School is a special school.  Everyone at school and the community is very dear to us.  We fell in love with the people of the village over the years and every time we visit the school and the village, we learn so much about ourselves.  The kids are progressing in their studies i.r.o their living conditions.  One of their favorite activities at school is pussle building.  We all know how important pussle building is for education and development and the kids, by themselves start seeing the results of this.

These 6 kids are the "nursery school" kids of Ban Makrud.  Actually, one can say they are the ones in charge :)

We took Peter, our man of peace" here in Kanthararom with to school last week.  Peter is now 65 years old and it was the FIRST TIME in his life he builded a pussle.  It took him more than hour to finish a 36 piece pussle . . . . and was he so proud of himself.  Peter understands now the benefits of pussle building and how it helps with the development of a child . . . . and adults :)

We are helping the school (in ways we can) building a library for the school.  It takes quite long now as we can only work "on bits and pieces" as we get donations.  There is still lots of work to be done so we will appreciate your prayers for this project.
