Before I was afflicted I went astray;

As I tried to stay in the field as the year end approached but I realise that is purely flesh. I just try to do something by myself but that something I do gone wrong somehow and seems nothing move no matter how hard I tried. Even it was my good intention I have no peace in my heart and many things become the stumbling blocks and felt guilty of my fault even many crticisms from my partner K.Dum mentioned a lot but I don't see until I humble myself and pray. As I pushed hard many things bounced back even harder. To force people to know God through the scipture better is only my own thinking and my good intention. I came to realise from the God's Word :

Proverbs 16:9 A person may plan his own journey, but the LORD directs his steps.
and
Proverbs 19:21 Many plans are in the human heart, but the advice of the LORD will endure.


My impulse decisions mention out at my face and one night these Scripture came to me.

James 1:12 Blessed are those who endure when they are tested. When they pass the test, they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.

I was quite frustrated with those aged folks who lame, alchoholic and take advantages but God see them otherwise. He loves them. I lost my joy of the Lord, Bro. Paul mentioned to me during his staying with me. I forgot that the tests will come to our lives and thought that I can carry on by my own strength until I got lost out of the way that I suppose to go. I don't really know the way "how to make it" but in Job 23:10 I can't find him because he knows the road I take. When he tests me, I'll come out as pure as gold. When God is finished with me things will come out well.

I felt like there is no end no light of what I am going to do. I know that He is with us all the time but I am not act like it, we 're not talked like it. The problem is that I don't really believe it.


Apostle James told us in
James 1:6 When you ask for something, don't have any doubts. A person who has doubts is like a wave that is blown by the wind and tossed by the sea.
James1:7 A person who has doubts shouldn't expect to receive anything from the Lord.

.....You should ask God, and he will give it to you. God is generous to everyone and doesn't find fault with them.


This is the lady who accepted Christ first time on the day I started to go in this village. She passed away on 18 December peacefully. Thanks God that He allows us to know before hand as we went to her place on irregular visit. We can not reason out why we want to go there on that Friday. As we went we stopped at our unusual place to visit people we know long time back but to be told that Pah Keong has gone sleep. When we reached her house her picture was on the shelf. She was cremated in the temple near-by a day before.



Today 29 December we went to the village as usual and as I shared about the heaven in Revelation we were told that Pah Samruay was passed away 2 days ago. Many uneasiness of many things become light. The deal that we have to discuss with the landlord about allow her to stay in that place is out. The rented land of the house she built on in the deal we have to resonsible will be ceased. The Lord even provided the way to get back to the previous location under the tree with out loosing face. He take care of us that much. Things that bind us broken we don't have to give up, we don't have to run away. We don't have to worry about where and when we are working with Him. He knows the road I take. When he tests me, I'll come out as pure as gold.

He is our God our Lord Jesus Christ

Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Hebrews13:9 Don't get carried away by all kinds of unfamiliar teachings. Gaining inner strength from God's kindness is good for us. This strength does not come from following rules about food, rules that don't help those who follow them.

Thanks For the Comments

Thanks for comments as I tried to draft my expression of what I believe and both help my understanding.
Both comments and many more as I shared with them will be the options to many questions for church's members of the church I am attending in Thailand.

1. russkellyphd said (Thanks)

Lev 27:30-34, the very texts you quote teach the OPPOSITE of what your words say.
(1) The tithe could only come from the holy land inside Israel.
(2) The tithe was only FOOD and never money.
(3) The tithe was the TENTH and not the first.
(4) The tithe was the TENTH and not necessarily the best.
(5) The tithe was only part of the Mosaic Law.
Russell Earl Kelly, PH. D., author fo Should the Church Teach Tithingwww.shouldthechurchteachtithing.com

2.And also from Le-Peng fast4plmc said

True that tithing is an Old Testament concept and nowhere in the New Testament commands, or even recommends that Christians submit to a legalistic tithe system.
However, Paul states that believers should set aside a portion of their income in order to support the church (1 Corinthians 16:1-2). Sometimes that means giving more than a tithe, sometime that may mean giving less than a tithe. It all depends on the ability of the Christian and the needs of the church. Each and every Christian should diligently pray and seek God’s wisdom as to whether to participate in tithing and/or for how much he/she should give (James 1:5). “Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver” (2 Corinthians 9:7). Do not forget that all that we have come from our Creator God. So give cheerfully. You can call it a tithe or an offering or anything, just give freely for He has given freely to us.
May God bless You.

Scriptures from ISV.

Mark 5:36 But when Jesus heard what they said, he told the synagogue leader, "Stop being afraid! Just keep on believing."

Mark 5:34 He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well........"

Mark 11:22 Jesus said to them, "Have faith in God! "

"According to your faith, let it be done for you!"

Christmas day today

Recognition of God's sovereignty:

The LORD own everything.

He is sovereignty of every things or He own every thing.
In His sovereignty He wants to retain some even in the beginning when He made man in Genesis 2 He also retain a tree:
Genesis 2:16 And Jehovah God commanded the man, saying, You may freely eat of every tree in the garden,
Genesis 2:17 but you shall not eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. For in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.
This is His retention of His sovereignty to maintain or reserve for Himself. Right now God's sovereignty expressed to the tithe. If you recognise the sovereignty of God you will know that the tithe is holy unto the LORD.

From MKJV.
Leviticus 27:30 And all the tithe of the land, of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is Jehovah's. It is holy to Jehovah.
Leviticus 27:31 And if a man will at all redeem anything of his tithes, he shall add to it the fifth part of it.
Leviticus 27:32 And all the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, all that passes under the rod, a tenth shall be holy to Jehovah
Leviticus 27:33 He shall not search whether it is good or bad, neither shall he change it. And if he changes it at all, then both it and the change of it shall be holy. It shall not be redeemed.

From GW.
Leviticus 27:30 "One-tenth of what comes from the land, whether grain or fruit, is holy and belongs to the LORD.
Leviticus 27:32 Every tenth head of cattle or sheep that you counted is holy and belongs to the LORD.
Leviticus 27:33 You must not look to see if it is good or bad or exchange it. But if you do exchange it, both the first animal and its substitute will be holy. They cannot be bought back."

Our heavenly Father really own every thing. When we know that what we belong to Him but He allows us to have them all to do His will on earth. We come to gether pray for Salvation for Thai prople.

Give thanks to the LORD because he is good, because his mercy endures forever.

Count down to Christmas we have many celebrations. Saurday 22 December Nong Tamlueng's children get to gether to have give away toy and memorise scripture games. They sang gospel


songs and trying to memorise some scripture from beginning a new life. Many of them tried so hard so many attempts and eventually we run out of toys. You can look at their faces you can see how happy they are during this greeting season. We treating them lunch at the "kuay jub"store. The first lady who accepted Christ when we first go to Baan Nearn and Baan Boh just pass away on last tuesday unexpectedly. Children just have her bar-be-que chicken last Saturday.

In the evening of the same day on 22 December the church have open Christmas party for evangelised purpose. The church full of members and invited guests, 18 of them accepted Christ.

Praise the Lord for His love and mercy endure forever. The man we prayed for him on the 5 December during our outing also accepted the Lord. Thanks God for the harvest time at least encouraged us that the Salvation belongs to the Lord and as we go there is some result when the harvest time come. The whole family will be saved.


On 18 December joint attempt of two churches hold up Christmas party in the market place. It is a joy to that place as "Joy to world" sang out. A group from US and Canada came to bless the people during this season. Wonderful opportunity to show them of God's love. There are many natural men who are not Christians. As they depend on their own resources and depend on their own strength.

1Corinthians 2:14 A person who isn't spiritual doesn't accept the teachings of God's Spirit. He thinks they're nonsense. He can't understand them because a person must be spiritual to evaluate them.

During 16-20 December 2007 on the way back home to Singapore from his ministry trip in Srakeow Bro. Paul Low divert his way and spend some time with us. For us it is a blessing to have him. To learn that the Christian life suppose to be an exciting and life. We went to visit the church in Ao Udom area about ILI conference and also looking for a translator we eat and play rejoicing in the work. As he joined us in the work we asked him to sharie in the cell meeting in the factory. A member of the cell come to share her testimony on the next Thursday of how blessed she is while doing one thing in a day for the Lord.
There is no Chrismas holiday in Thailand on 25 December but we have a substitution after the election on 24 December, so after the substitution holiday is a Christmas day. Even bussiness as usual in Thailand I will take my time off to audit what I am doing.

Romans 8:1 So those who are believers in Christ Jesus can no longer be condemned.
Romans 8:2 The standards of the Spirit, who gives life through Christ Jesus, have set you free from the standards of sin and death.
Romans 8:3 It is impossible to do what God's standards demand because of the weakness our human nature has. But God sent his Son to have a human nature as sinners have and to pay for sin. That way God condemned sin in our corrupt nature.
Romans 8:4 Therefore, we, who do not live by our corrupt nature but by our spiritual nature, are able to meet God's standards.
Romans 8:5 Those who live by the corrupt nature have the corrupt nature's attitude. But those who live by the spiritual nature have the spiritual nature's attitude.
Rom 8:6 The corrupt nature's attitude leads to death. But the spiritual nature's attitude leads to life and peace.
Romans 8:7 This is so because the corrupt nature has a hostile attitude toward God. It refuses to place itself under the authority of God's standards because it can't.
Romans 8:8 Those who are under the control of the corrupt nature can't please God.

Luke 1:37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.

Part of toys sent from the "FAST "cell group Singapore initiated by Le-Peng asking question whether we want some toys for the children in Nong Tamleung. I asked them to pray I was also prayed. All come in the timing of each step after they collected Brother Paul Low is going to Sra-keow volunteer to carry then the charity started. A box of soft toys delivered on 12 December by Brother Paul Low. Thanks Brothers and sisters for heart of God to those children. They may not appreciate the love of God through this project but our Lord has promised us that:

Luke 14:12 Then he told the man who had invited him, "When you give a luncheon or a dinner, stop inviting only your friends, brothers, relatives, or rich neighbors. Otherwise, they may invite you in return and you would be repaid.
Luke 14:13 Instead, when you give a banquet, make it your habit to invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind.
Luke 14:14 Then you will be blessed because they can't repay you. For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous."



This is photo of Rosukol by grace of God when we burden to visit her today. During I spend some time talking to her I saw a lady farmer sit and waiting. Prompting to ask Khun Dum to talk
to the farmer lady. Father God I thank you for that prompting. After K.Dum spent some time with her explained his usual details. I went in and told her that this is a divine appointment that she can easily see right now that we did not come here for so long and even we come why we chose to be today and in this moment when she is sit down there waiting. God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ has mercy on you to here the "good news" the news that telling you about the redemptive plan of God to us. Any way the good news is just for you to understand only but to begin the relationship between you and God you need to believe and take some simple steps ie.

Romans 3:23 since all have sinned and continue to fall short of God's glory. And confess your sins and ask for His mercy:

Romans 10:9 If you declare with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Romans 10:10 For a person believes with his heart and is justified, and a person declares with his mouth and is saved.

We left her alone closing her eyes for a while then asked her for her decision. Thanks God for His mercy. During sinner prayer the enemy try to stop us but it was to late after she asked in Jesus' name. K.Dum then explain about her situation after accepted Christ.

Romans 10:13 For "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."

Continue to love each other.

Hebrews 13:5 Let your way of life be without the love of money, and be content with such things as you have, for He has said, "Not at all will I leave you, not at all will I forsake you, never!"
Hebrews 13:6 so that we may boldly say, "The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do to me."

We left the Church just after 9.00am.after a short prayer and reach Baan Nern just about half an hour later.Stop over our usual place talked to Pah Keong and lend ears to Pah Keong talking from her usual story. She told us the reason of not working is to get herself drunk to day. When we reached there Pa Keong is in-side hut her grand daughter was tied a leg with the house. Near by there is a lady lie down there they called that way is look after the child in the village. After we started conversation K.Dum turn the story to the good news.

You, too, must be patient. Don't give up hope.

To day, 5 December is a Thailand king's birthdaybut we have good news to spread. One of GPC's new member want us to go and visit his fish farm and have a gathering at his farm for lunch. Lunch was so easy. There are fish in the pond, vegetable of many kinds on the earth dam. Many of our members are very good cook. The journey begin with driving to Bangpakong road then take pick-ups then get into the boat row across to another side. His father used to be a fisher man before stopping venture to the sea. He is very nice person and being love by all his children. Today as a holiday and as well celebrate his birthday many of his children come to visit him at his farm. He rejoiced to see many of his Children come. We are just join his children and good to meet them all. As we worked to gether in various places, in kitchen, by the fish pond, before and after lunch. We do not loose opportunity to talk about God. Before we left the farm we prayed for God's mercy to grant him to know Him more and eventually be saved. We know that timing belongs to the Lord. We do not force our ways through but bring the matter back to GPC to pray over it.

We finished our outing just after 4.00 pm. and rush back to join the celebration function in town. The gathering arranged by local government at each province. Christians from many places as far as Pattaya come and join the crowd to show the united spirit in celebrating the king's birthday.
We stand quite long waited for the time when the Governor come to process the programme.

Many who have children also joined us. Some of them has never been there before. This is the first time after they become Christian. This year unable to see the different as every one have to wear yellow. Many organisations come to show their strength especially many from Chinese temples. We finished before their dragon dances started. Children eventually enjoy seeing 999 shots of fire work at closer range. World still chose numbers to indicate their good timing but for us everytime is good time, as we are the blessed of the Lord.


Romans 14:4 Who am I to criticize someone else's servant? The Lord will determine whether his servant has been successful. The servant will be successful because the Lord makes him successful.
Romans 14:5 One person decides that one day is holier than another. Another person decides that all days are the same. Every person must make his own decision.
Romans 14:6 When people observe a special day, they observe it to honor the Lord. .......



Many of us have never been in the celebrations and don't really bothered when we are still with the world but now when we became Christian we want to go to show power of our minority to the world.

Traffic jamed after the celebration finished.

Repent, for the kingdom of Heaven is at hand.

Matthew 13:33 He used another illustration.

"The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman mixed into a large amount of flour until the yeast worked its way through all the dough."

Matthew 13:25 But while people were asleep, his enemy planted weeds in the wheat field and went away.
Matthew 13:26 When the wheat came up and formed kernels, weeds appeared.
Matthew 13:27 "The owner's workers came to him and asked, 'Sir, didn't you plant good seed in your field? Where did the weeds come from?'
Matthew 13:28 "He told them, 'An enemy did this.' "His workers asked him, 'Do you want us to pull out the weeds?'
Matthew 13:29 "He replied, 'No. If you pull out the weeds, you may pull out the wheat with them.
Matthew 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest. When the grain is cut, I will tell the workers to gather the weeds first and tie them in bundles to be burned. But I'll have them bring the wheat into my barn.'"

During we walked the land people were worshipping idol made with plastics. They do not know the real God.
1Corinthians 1:18 The message about the cross is nonsense to those who are being destroyed, but it is God's power to us who are being saved. They simply ignor us and worship idol. We stopped and talk to them waiting for K.Dum to finish his "kwuay chap ".

This Sunday another 3 boys follow the previous 3 to church. They joy us worshipping God then go up to Suday school.

Heavenly Father let the plan you down loaded to me about kingdom of heaven like yeast. Let this group of children like yeast that when they went back and mixed with others children in the village that they can bring good new about God to those in the village. During that period we walk through this area a lady come to see Man and Janya and accepted Christ as her Lord and

Saviour. When we arrived they just have finish Sinner prayer.

Genesis 1:3 Then God said, "Let there be light!"

1John 1:1 The Word of life existed from the beginning. We have heard it. We have seen it. We observed and touched it.
1John 1:2 This life was revealed to us. We have seen it, and we testify about it. We are reporting to you about this eternal life that was in the presence of the Father and was revealed to us.
1John 1:3 This is the life we have seen and heard. We are reporting about it to you also so that you, too, can have a relationship with us. Our relationship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.

Many times you see only Sunset to day as we started 1 John I give you Sunrise of this morning. Sun just highlight the mountain line East of Chonburi.

I have to walk out from the house because they are concreting the road. I called up K.Dum to pick me up for lunch. Before and after lunch I stopped by my sister's house. My sister and her husband was not in. They go to the temple in Bangkok to take an exam on the Buddhism study. At her house I read a book about the New World Order and wonder how she will understand those prophesies quote in there. They learn that "selfish" is not a good deed. They also believe in self-confidence still. From Buddhism, to Toaism, and a lot of idols worshipping in her house, chinese guard lions at entrance door post. I wonder why and how to make them understand the truth and the truth will set them free. I know that Salvation belongs to the Lord. I asked the Lord many times to have mercy on them and give them wisdom and revelation to let them see the truth and know Him who was written that "In the beginning God created heaven and earth."

Do you have any comfort from love?

This passage I am preparing to share with the members during lunch time's cell in concrete factory. The path I plan it to be like the photo I took but when it ended how they recieved will depend how they can afford it the same way I prepared. To make it so smooth ans scenery will depend on not us alone but the One to come.

Matthew 15:21 Jesus left that place and went to the region of Tyre and Sidon.
Matthew 15:22 A Canaanite woman from that territory came to him and began to shout, "Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is tormented by a demon."
Matthew 15:23 But he did not answer her at all. Then his disciples came to him and urged him, "Send her away. She keeps shouting behind us."
Matthew 15:24 Jesus responded, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the nation of Israel."
Matthew 15:25 She came to him, bowed down, and said, "Lord, help me!"
Matthew 15:26 Jesus replied, "It's not right to take the children's food and throw it to the dogs." (kunarion, koo-nar'-ee-on, Neuter of a presumed derivative of G2965; a puppy: - dog.)
Matthew 15:27 She said, "You're right, Lord. But even the dogs eat scraps that fall from their masters' tables."
Matthew 15:28 Then Jesus answered her, "Woman, you have strong faith! What you wanted will be done for you." At that moment her daughter was cured.

This is the sunset at Laem Taen during my evening walk yesterday. Now the weather at East part of Thailand is colder. The weather is dryer. We can see the Sun set like yoke of the egg sinking down slowly disappear with the promise of God 's faithfulness assurance of tomorrow. In the time like this we can catch Sunset easily. Susetting give us wonderful feeling in the promise of God to people of the world. The blessed hope.

The sun was setting after we came back from the Northern part of Panthong district boundary. I heard about the area from few of the Christian fellows who helping candidate from a politician's party walk in that area. Words that lingering in my heart is people there isolated group by group but I do not know the reson of being so. I mentioned to them that one day we will make a trip there. We went there after cell meeting. Just a drive after lunch. We reached the end of the Panthong district then we saw a flowerful roadside coffee stall. I stopped and asked K.Dum to have drink. What we found was the shop owner is a Catholics, and the place where we were is belong to Catalics church. People in that area are staying in the church's property and that property covered about 1000 acres of land. Wow.

Revelation 10:10 I took the small scroll from the angel's hand and ate it. It was as sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it, it was bitter in my stomach.
Revelation 10:11 The seven thunders told me, "Again you must speak what God has revealed in front of many people, nations, languages, and kings."

I do not know what is the reason of this find out but if the Lord will He will aloow us to know again and again. The authority of the Bible the ahority of Lord Jesus Christ must maintain in no cost.
John 1:14 The Word became human and lived among us. We saw his glory. It was the glory that the Father shares with his only Son, a glory full of kindness and truth.

Mark 16:20 The disciples spread the Good News everywhere. The Lord worked with them. He confirmed his word by the miraculous signs that accompanied it.

Genesis 1:3 And God said, Let there be light.

From the high plane of Korat the weather is cool bot not too cold for comfort. By God grace mission tripper's from MSF enjoy their staying there. Some might grumble but for me what the Lord provided more than I expected. Scenery, local food, near jungle stay, less comfort. I look up the sky after midnight and saw stars. I ever wonder that how the LORD spoken to Abram that time. Now in Chonburi the cool season just arrived. At night temperature is about 25 degree. I can sleep without aircondition.


Revelation 19:1 And after these things I heard a great sound of a numerous crowd in Heaven, saying, Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and honor and the power to the Lord our God!

We can see egg yoke of the Sun in the sky quite often now. I tried to catch this before it's going away during my evening walk. Wonderful Creator. Great is His faithfulness. There are new everymorning. I took this to share with you all. After the Sun went down I went inside the reserved area to walk along the bridge.

My evening walk to day along a path on the wooden bridge near the sea shore. I walked with curiusity far in trying to reach the seaside. Rest in His presence and enjoy evening after service. But before I get around the whole round there is only one fishermen left waching his oyster farm. We exchange few words and thinking about spend sometimes to tell him about "the Good News". It is too late in the evening. I have been left alone with the colourful sky after dark There is no one on the way back only a brown roden try to run a race with me for a while. It ran on the rope as I walked on the bridge. For a little while it 's getting tired of running the same direction with me so it turned back and ran opposite direction. I finish my walk and came out but I have another 2 Km. to walk home. I came joyfully to catch the sun set after sending the boys back to Nong Tumleung. Sunday is over after the night fall. Joy of the Lord is our strength.

Praise the Lord.
Hallelujah! Praise God in his holy place. Praise him in his mighty heavens.
Praise him for his mighty acts. Praise him for his immense greatness.
Praise him with sounds from horns. Praise him with harps and lyres.
Praise him with tambourines and dancing. Praise him with stringed instruments and flutes.
Praise him with loud cymbals. Praise him with crashing cymbals.
Let everything that breathes praise the LORD! Hallelujah!

Come! And he comes;

Matthew 8:22 But Jesus told him, "Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead."
Matthew 8:23 Jesus' disciples went with him as he left in a boat.
Matthew 8:24 Suddenly, a severe storm came across the sea. The waves were covering the boat. Yet, Jesus was sleeping.
Matthew 8:25 So they woke him up, saying, "Lord! Save us! We're going to die!"
Matthew 8:26 Jesus said to them, "Why do you cowards have so little faith?" Then he got up, gave an order to the wind and the sea, and the sea became very calm.

When I read this passage earlier I really thought that our faith can grow even more by ourselves. Even the answer is "yes" faith can grow more but different than I thought. When we 're in the field we have just realised that we have developed my faith wrongly by looking for faith somewhere else, books or copy the faith from big timer preachers to grow my own faith. We, of course, can see the faith of others as same as the Lord see the faith in paralytic's freinds in Matthew 9:2 :
And behold, they brought to Him a paralytic, lying on a bed. And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, Child, be of good cheer. Your sins are forgiven you.

When we see that sort of faith we forgot the author and the finisher of faith. We copied their faith. We can not see others' people faith as the Lord see but our faith is not really our faith we should focus on the Lord Jesus Christ otherwise it will be a 2nd hand value faith copied from somebody else faith.

In Matthew 8:24 Suddenly, a severe storm came across the sea. In this version of the Bible I saw a little boat where Jesus was there with His disciples. When they saw big wave the disciples became scared and forgot the author and the finisher of faith. But when they can not see and use their "little faith" they have to call on Jesus. The word said "Then He got up, gave an order to the wind and the sea, and the sea became very calm."

I confessed that when we faced problems with people in the field days in days out actually we dpd not realise that they are not our problems but the Lord. He is doing His works His ways but we have our imagination beated ourselves up. The enemy used that situation created the big wave for us to see.

2Corinthians 10:4 For the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds,
2Corinthians 10:5 pulling down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought into the obedience of Christ;
2Corinthians 10:6 and having readiness to avenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

I did come to that situation when my wife hospitalise early of the month. Even I know that is the trick of the enemy but as I have developed a 2nd hand faith I still worry until I reach the throne of grace. When I saw big wave I trembling but God is always faithful. Actually it should not be my faith but faith in a great God our Lord Jesus Christ who is our Lord, our Master.

Hebrews 4:16 Therefore let us come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

This Sunday I brought these three boys to GPC to let them get used to the church. I believe our God will do His work through these three boys. Actually 5 of them want to come but I will wait confidently. My work is just to prepare myself, pray and then cast all my care and leave the result to Him. I can do nothing without Him. I did develop my trusting in human and the result came out to disappointment.But we learn. Pray always and live in His presence should be all I could do and then leave result to Him. He is faith and just.
Thank You Lord for every day that you open my eyes and what I am asking You to impart faith for me to carry on with You. I realise that even it is your work but we so curious and want to see the result at least to encourage that You are with us Lord. Always.

To Timothy, my true child in the faith.......

2Timothy 4:5 But be self-controlled in all things, do without comfort, go on preaching the good news, completing the work which has been given you to do.

Father God, heavenly Father I knew that your way is not my way, why should I be so trouble about times and success in the ministry. How can I possess the land you gave me? Continue to be faithful as the sun is setting soon is my faith told me that we will have them form to morrow morning Sun will rise again. Just be faithful. That is the grace of God.

"Give answer to my cry, O God of my righteousness; make me free from my troubles; have mercy on me, and give ear to my prayer.
Psalm 4:2 O you sons of men, how long will you go on turning my glory into shame? how long will you give your love to foolish things, going after what is false? "

Children are waiting for lunch but we told them we come not just logive them lunch but to ask God to give them lives. During the night we pray the some word that come out from the Lord.

Matthew 17:17 And Jesus, answering, said, O false and foolish generation, how long will I be with you? how long will I put up with you? let him come here to me.

The next day when I saw the scripture i tear my eyes " to go on preaching the good news" and " to finish the work He told us to do. Next Sunday we go to Nong Tumleung again to ask permission from their parents or their caretakers. We have learned and thanks God that He open our eyes's to see the problems and what we suppose to do. We selected 4 children to practice guitar, and English. Thanks God He allows only 2 to get through so far.

The real blessings

Saterday 17 November is the day that many things in the house we are using as a place where children gathering come and sing songs. We came early this day taking the table and board down and put in the house and thinking about coming back and introduce new schedule to regulate the children. We went to the another far end to have regular visited and shared word to them. There are 3 believers who have accepted Christ there. 2 elderly and a midle age woman who lives next door. The elderly couple own the house, a meeting place and a housewife who lives next door. They do not read but we try to share simple scripture and if they could know Lord Jesus more we will be happy for them.

Acts 8:5 _ _ _ _ _began to preach the Christ to the people.
Acts 8:6 The crowds, hearing his message and seeing the signs that he was doing, paid close attention to what was said by Philip.

Act 8:12 But when Philip proclaimed the good news of the kingdom of God and of the name of Jesus Christ, men and women believed and were baptized.

After we finished we come back to the house a lot of children watching a movies from VDO. As you can see there are many ages groups. Some watch movies some running around. Really meesy. The test come my anger rise up and some grumpy sound came out of my mount. The test come and I lost my joy, and my peace that the starting point of loosing ground to the enemy. Lunch time come. We split children into two groups one from the village stay closer to the village after we learnt that to get in the van or any type of transport is very sensitive issue and we don't want to loose the battle before the good news spread. We know that the Lord is in control but by my human standard we want it quick. The lesson learn. If we want to take them out in any type of transport, their parents must be inform. That is my stand that any one must follow. We then go to few places to ask permission to train guitar and English conversation to them. Thank God that make us really come to that stage. I learn that to deal with different spirit, death and alive must be very careful.

Many unpredictable. By our flesh wecan not see our enemy when they manipulate the non-believers' mind that leaded to action. Thanks God that He is our fortress, our shield and our great reward.

To preach the Christ is preaching a good news of the gospel, the salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ.

John 3:16 God loved the world this way:

Children of many ages came to the premises as early as we arrived in the morning. We took out TV and DVD from the box fixed the TV cabinet and tried English course (first Chapter) DVD. Then we sing gospel songs for a while. We have lunch to getther at near-by kampong nooddle shop. We bought some to Pah Samruay. As we went up to see her Ta Kong, her husband lied down there sick with high fever. He tried to get up but we told them to lie down there. K. Dum talked to Pah Suruay for a while then asked her to ask her husband whether he want to accept Christ as his Lord and Saviour. As he agreed and with his consent K.Dum lead him to the Lord, prayed to cut the past relationship with all idolatry and invite the Holy Spirit to come and lead him in his new life.

John 3:16 God loved the world this way: He gave his only Son so that everyone who believes in him will not die but will have eternal life.

Surely your heavenly Father knows that you need all of them!

Sky over Singapore always have clouds hang around. Thinking of the word in "Job 26:8 He holds the water in his thick clouds, and the clouds don't even split under its weight." but the ride was very smooth. Thailand covered up with thick mist. All the team with Numt junior came and pick me up from the Suvanaphumi airport. From the airport straight to Bible camp at Sattahip Navy camp. We stop some where for dinner. We reached a place name Si-Tow restaurant. She is really strong Buddhist and really well to do as she is still single and in this business for 30 years. She talked about what belong to her reminded me of

Luke 8:14 The ones that fell among the thornbushes are the people who listen, but as they go on their way they are choked by the worries, wealth, and pleasures of life, and their fruit doesn't mature.

The good blocks her from receive the best, as He is the way the truth and the life. Only us who have God's grace to let us know that there is only way to heaven. Some people who know us stop us from the beginning. They want to befreind with us as long as we are not try to help them to
know about God and heaven.

The man on the left, Mr.Kreingkrai came to accompany his wife to baptism ceremony during Bible camp. The man on the right,Mr.Somchai told us that their family in the verge of break up. We explained to him about different in the spirits and what is the meaning of being born again and have a new life. He eventually confessed his sin, accepted Christ invited the Lord to become his Lord and Savior. I took this picture after he went through sinner prayer.
Mention again about Mr.Somchai's first meeting during Rev. Tay's first visit him in his garage.
That time he sicked and in bed.
Matthew 28:18 Then Jesus came up and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. He healed from the sickness and accepted the Lord. His whole life changed
What a different you can see in this picture. Many lives in his life came to know the Lord through him one by one. The last one is his mother-in-law we have met and prayed for during this camp but want to go back just to tell her husband that she want to accepted Christ. Her husband is now working as a caretaker in the Buddhist temple.

The line of people who accepted Christ earlier and come to be baptized on that Saterday together 17 people. As we look at the row of people and scenery in the backdrop, with the Sun, sea and sand on the beach.
Praise the Lord.

Matthew 28:19 Therefore, as you go, disciple all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,
Matthew 28:20 teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you each and every day until the end of the age."

PLMC's MSF in Thailand

MSF's tripers have the Holy Communion at Rangsit church and have lunch with RMC's members. After lunch we said good bye and get in the vans

moved North through Sraburi to Pak Chong.

Thank God that Chok Chai farm"s show is fully booked. We decided to by-pass the farm and straight to Wang Nam Kheow's Im-Sook where we booked to stay over night. We reached Im-Sook Kitchen in the afternoon. The weather was just nice and we still enjoy seeing sunseting form over the hill. We have good dinner including some steaks. They have to pay for themselves but just S$ 6.50 reasonable good quality.

The eating place is on the hill overlook the dormitory type home stay. The group is just a blessing to me. Grouping where to stay is settle so easily. After every thing set there is another room left. I and another group move to stay on the huts down across the pond.We took big hall and 5 huts after all there are 2 huts left. The drivers took a hut I took the last hut. When everything settled we washed up a bit and ready for dinner. Just a few people took the vans the rest walk up. The weather was gool and cool at this time of the year. We all carried some sort of thick cloth to prevent chilli in the night. We stayed on for awhile then come back to the hall and huts to rest through the night.

From my hut looked up you can see the hall where majority stayed. First night passed some did not sleep well as expected. Some can not sleep well if changing the environment.

Last day we arranged BBQ on the beach after visiting the village and prayed for many people there. After we came back from visiting the site of the ministry.

John 15:16 "You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you. I have appointed you to go and produce fruit that will last, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he will give it to you.

Some lazed on the beach some become beach combers and walk very far to another end and buy things. GPC's members came and joined us later. We sang either English songs or Thai song and prayed for each others before closing for the night. Some of them want to retire earlier we send them back. More than 40 people sang gospel songs on the beach. This is Christians' way of life.

John 15:12 "This is my commandment: that you love one another as I have loved you.
John 15:13 No one shows greater love than when he lays down his life for his friends.

8 November I plan to let them enjoy their stay on bed abit more but when I arrived most of them ready to go. We left the hotel quite early but not before I shared God Word form Luke Chapter 5 to them as early of the day when I asked the Lord whether the tripers enjoyed the trip. He impressed this chapter to me stree on verse 6-7 and the meaning is God not only bless Thalands' team but also Singapore team is also blessed from the Lord.

Luke 5:1 One day as the crowd was pressing in on him to listen to God's word, Jesus was standing by the lake of Gennesaret.
Luke 5:2 He saw two boats lying on the shore, but the fishermen had stepped out of them and were washing their nets.
Luke 5:3 So Jesus got into one of the boats (the one that belonged to Simon) and asked him to push out a little from the shore. Then he sat down and began to teach the crowds from the boat.
Luke 5:4 When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, "Push out into deep water, and lower your nets for a catch."
Luke 5:5 Simon answered, "Master, we have worked hard all night and caught nothing. But if you say so, I'll lower the nets."
Luke 5:6 After the men had done this, they caught so many fish that the nets began to tear.
Luke 5:7 So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. They came and filled both boats until the boats began to sink.
Luke 5:8 When Simon Peter saw this, he fell down at Jesus' knees and said, "Leave me, Lord! I am a sinful man!"
Luke 5:9 For Simon and all the people who were with him were amazed at the number of fish they had caught,
Luke 5:10 and so were James and John, Zebedee's sons and Simon's partners. Then Jesus said to Simon, "Stop being afraid. From now on you will be catching people."
Luke 5:11 So when they brought the boats to shore, they left everything and followed Jesus.

Earlier when we visited Pa Jongkol a Christian's daughter want to accept the Lord Jesus Christ.

She told us that she heard about Jesus from her mother. K.Dum taught her some of the basic of Christianity then lead her to sinner prayer and lead her to Christ.

We believe Romans 6:23 that...
but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Salvation is free gift of God to us we just reach out by faith and recieve it. We prayed for her before she return to her home town in North Eastern province. During my stay in Singapore she came back and get a job. We belief the word of God in Romans 10:13 .... For "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." They just called out to God in the name of Jesus. Salvation belongs to the Lord. We have just do our duty.

Luke 12:2 Nothing is covered up that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.
Luke 12:3 Therefore whatever you have said in the dark shall be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in private rooms shall be proclaimed on the housetops.

Therewere only 3 children when we arrived that day (27 October 2007). It was a Buddhist holiday, "Ok pansar" (marks the end of Lent). It is at the end of the rainy season, in October. Many of them go to temple to do good deed as an act of self righteousness even many who have accepted the Lord to be their Lord and Savior ealier. Their dressed up nicely with Buddha token hang out on big golden chain around their necks. Even we know the Salvation belong to our God we still a bit overcasted about the situation. We also felt the resistance came from their non-believers' parents. Two of them climbed up the tree across the road because their parents were not allowed them to join us. Wehave just fogot that we are just his servants and we will not be worthy untill he has finished His meal.

Pa Samruay used to practice witchcraft before she accepted Christ then she became paralyses but now any time we went to visit her house we saw some evidence that she still practice those things.

She probably accepted Jesus as another God as many people do in the area. They still worship those plastic dolls as a good luck charm still. In this area of Nong Tumleung they have one way or another worship some form of idols but called themselves Buddhist.

Ephesians 4:19 They have become callous and have given themselves up to sensuality, greedy to practice every kind of impurity.
Ephesians 4:20 But that is not the way you learned Christ!--
Ephesians 4:21 assuming that you have heard about him and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus,
Ephesians 4:22 to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires,
Ephesians 4:23 and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds,
Ephesians 4:24 and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.

As we came out to visit a couple who so called new Christians. Her husband still working for the temple even they accepted Christ.

Luke 16:13 No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money."

We learn that the house is now vacated as the previous tenant has already moved out. We asked her weather we can take over with a cheaper rental. She reluctance at the beginning but told us that she needs to consult her daughter first.

Luke 16:11 If then you have not been faithful in the unrighteous wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches?
Luke 16:12 And if you have not been faithful in that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own?

We came to stop for late lunch. All looked at camera except K.Dum he prefer his noodle in the bowl. The big group of children are from GPC to come to have experiences of what we're doing. These group of children will help us to train others in games and cultural show. They will help Sunday school teacher after we have proper place for activities even teaching them to read the Gospel.

After meal K.Dum take turn to talk to the lady gambler.

1Corinthians 1:18 For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

At 3.00 o'clock we rounded up sent the children home.

1John 1:5 This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
1John 1:6 If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
1John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.
1John 1:8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
1John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Forgive us Lord for intended and not intended we have sinned against You and Your people and many we have missed the marks. We will hold You Lord Jesus as our advocate interceed for us as You used to be in John chapter 17. that you have prayed for us intensely.
1John 1:10 If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
