Rosukol's Update.

After visiting Nong Tumleung early afternoon we were called whether we can spend some time with few church members to revisit Rosukol. We left Nong Tumlueng and has no time for lunch go straight to Rosukol's house across the village near the mountain side. In Thai "Nong means small reservoir" "Koa means hill or moutain come from the full word of Pu Kao". We go from the valley full of the water to the mountain. Few of them were waiting for us. My Carnal eyes told me that she is better shape than the day we first saw her but she still weak. She respond to us by blinking her eyes, squeeze my hand.

She dosed off sometime but her eyes has more joy than the first time. She cried louder this time and move her boney leg. Thank God what else we can say. Her faith and our faith will please the Lord and that is our hope. We can love her because of Christ who first loves us.

"Mar 11:22 And answering Jesus said to them, Have faith of God.
Mar 11:23 For truly I say to you that whoever shall say to this mountain, Be moved and be cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he said shall occur, he shall have whatever he said.
Mar 11:24 Therefore I say to you, All things, whatever you ask, praying, believe that you shall receive them, and it will be to you." We claimed this promise and this is the promise of God. The Lord Jesus Himself said.

Thank you for your prayer. Thank you for your support and uphold us in prayers.

"James 5:13 Is any among you afflicted? Let him pray. Is any cheerful? Let him sing psalms.
James 5:14 Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.
James 5:15 And the prayer of faith will cure the sick, and the Lord shall raise him (her) up. And if he has committed sins, it will be forgiven him.
James 5:16 Confess faults to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous one avails much."

After this visiting we are asked to go to hospital to pray for few cricals. We prayed for them as we burden. People who come to the Lord Jesus he has never refuse and respond to their needs. He works through us so as opportunity arise that is the provision of the Lord to let us learn as we work with Him.

"Joh 12:9 Then a great crowd of the Jews learned that He was there. And they did not come for Jesus' sake only, but also that they might see Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead."

All glory to you Lord!

Just Before Pentacost 2007

"Mat 4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people.
Mat 4:24 And His fame went throughout all Syria. And they brought to Him all those being badly ill suffering various diseases and torments, and those who had been possessed with demons, and those who had been moonstruck, and paralytics. And He healed them."

We can say that all these had just happened in that village as we arrived there second time. It looked like they're waited for us and at the same time preparing their favorite "papaya salad" (som tarm) and some breakfast. A lot of adults and few children at the beginning. Greeting them and started to tell them our purpose of coming to this village. We started individually teiling them about the "good news". There are manifestation of wrong spirit but not that crucial as we carried on. K.Dum is with the drunkard, Ajarn Damrong is with ice-cream lady, Man is with a group of ladies, Janya with the owner of that place.

"Mat 10:42 And whoever shall give to one of these little ones a cup of cold water to drink, only in the name of a disciple, truly I say to you, He shall in no way lose his reward."

We started the day about 9.30 in the morning from home. I have only know where we are going to, the place Nong Tumleung's visiting few Christians there as usual if opportunity arise we will as well as do something about children today. I took initiative go to Christian book store to buy some story books from Bangkok yesterday. I have got some Bible storey books where a lot of drawings inside but I felt that it is too difficult for children, too many word, along story about the Lord Jesus. The language is not suitable to kids of that ages, primary. Story told too difficult for them too understand. Thank God for the night before, on Friday night, I happened to meet an old freind now she is working in Bangkok with one organisation which is producing Bible picture books for young children. Thank God that she come for prayers meeting and she said she still have some old stock that she can give to us some by to-morrow but we have to arrange to pick up ourselves. Again another lady who work with brick company will collected for us. The boss of the company also agreed to go with us the next day. Thank the Lord for all provisions.

"Act 8:8 And there was great joy in that city.
Act 8:9 But a certain man called Simon had long been conjuring in the city, and amazing the nation of Samaria, claiming himself to be some great one.
Act 8:10 All gave heed to him, from the least to the greatest, saying, This one is the great power of God.

Saturday morning, when we reached the GPC the Pattaya team leaded by Mike Morrissey had already left the church's compound. They are more active than us. UMC has already provided fund for UMC church in Pattaya. Our team is still building up at this stage just to spread the gospel and thinking of do something later. We are doing as and when and what will happen to reach the stage of having a "cell group" where people in that area can attend. Our team is comming to meet us at the Church compound. Around 10.00 the first van arrived then another one arrived 10 minutes later. 10.30 we left the church compound for Panthong area. Traffic quite heavy in the morning but just a short while after we went through Bangkok - Pattaya motorway the traffic is promissing the day. We have made it very good time. The plan we thought is not as He provided we have to change entirely.

When we arrived in the village many adults were looked like they waited for us. We can say that they were rather curious to see what we are going to do. We stop at this spot actually because K. Dum saw the ice-cream he like. As we started to order and offered people the ice-cream some of the children come out. About 30 cups of ice-creams has been taken. I quickly paid before the whole village come. Anyway the ice cream lady gave some extra ice ceams to few new arrived children. Some of our member paid for some extra as well.

We spread out and started sharing the Gospel to the people. Tracts given to many people even the ice-cream lady. The team started sharing individually. K.Dum eventually share with the lady group.

Thank God for ice cream lady who stood there so curious as Ajarn Damrong shared the Gospel with her. She asked for the Bible and we gave her "freely recieve, freely give" the Gedeon Bible to her.

We ended the session in this area with sing gospel songs with children and later we took the whole group of the children to visit Pa Samruay who is still invalid at her home. We asked the children to sing songs for her and pray for her. All the children wouldlike to go to church that day but they have to wait for our arrangement and their parent's approval.

Mark 11:2 And He said to them, Go into the village over across from you.

Mark 11:2 And He said to them, Go into the village over across from you. And as soon as you have entered into it, you will find a colt tied, on which no one of men has ever sat. Untie it and bring it.

End of church service in the afternoon before going back home a group of church members asked me weather I am free to go and visit a lady who got sick several weeks ago. Several times we thought of going to visit her but either time, transport or something cropped up become unable. The first time they asked me to go I declined to go because the invitation make me feel that what they thought is not what it should be. They said the villagers challenged those Christians that if God can heal that lady "Rosukol" the whole villege will turn to Christ. I declined as tghe word in the Scripture jumped up in my thought that the Lord Jesus know all men. Should we trust in those son of a liar. Then this word came out:
Matthew 25:45 Then He shall answer them, saying, Truly I say to you, Inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.

Forgive me Lord, even I am willing and I will go as soon as the opportunity opens to me. Then opportunity arised, here I come. I know that Rosukol is one of Your beloved children and that make her one of my sister in Christ. When she's tortured we're tortured with her as we are the same body of Christ. (John 3:16) For God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

We know that sicknesses and diseases cause by the enemy or ourself as we sin and allow the enemy to make us. Our born again spirit need to grow and take dominion over our mind, emotion, will etc. in that soul realm, and body in physical realm. After born anew many fall into this spiritual baby situation. We need to grow and beable to renew our soul realm in sactification stage. The body can wait until the Lord returns and we can be glorified.

Faith and confident will not show my flesh's feeling because we have our faith in our Lord, the Healer. The picture I took I do not even put it to publish. She cried as she saw me at the first time. I first saw her my heart sunken but Lazarus' storey and in my own life I believe that the Lord can and will be glorified. We seek the Lord by reading the Scripture Pililippines 2:3-11
Philippines 2:3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than themselves.
Philippines 2:4 Do not let each man look upon his own things, but each man also on the things of others.
Philippians 2:5 For let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, (2:6) who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God, (2:7) but made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Himself the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men.
Philippians 2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
Philippians 2:9 Therefore God has highly exalted Him, and has given Him a name which is above every name, (2:10) that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of heavenly ones, and of earthly ones, and of ones under the earth; (2:11) and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

We sang few songs to praise the Lord then we committed the time to the Lord as we claimed:

1Peter 2:24 He Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that dying to sins, we might live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed.

Then we prayed for her we proclaimed that by the work of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross. He took our sins and redeemed us completely. She was wide awake before we started reading the Scripture. She slept through while we prayed for her.

One of the member burdenmed to give her a cassette player for listening to the tape the Scripture reading, and preaching. We left after talking to her sister and mother for while. My burden that these people must grow and know the Lord better.

Turn away from "Rosukol" sick body to the surrounding, you will see beautiful scenery all around. I took few shots of those sceneries to show you all as well. We left to the Chonburi hospital to visit another critical case who still in coma. His freind wanted him to know Christ. We can only asked for God's mercy and grace for him and committed him to the mighty hands of God. Then we left.

New Preaching Point is Open. Praise the Lord

Matthew 6:25 "So I tell you to stop worrying about what you will eat, drink, or wear. Isn't life more than food and the body more and than clothes?

On the background you are seing is actually the market place where the member of the church preparing the food. They started about 2.30 in the afternoon cooking, some helping, some tasting. Not many commenting. Many food cooked and tried here so with the mouth full of food and unity among them make Christianity different from the world. People there are also freindly allowed them to use the place.

"Matthew 6:11 Give us our daily bread today."

"Matthew 6:8 Don't be like them. Your Father knows what you need before you ask him."

Rain came down earlier before we arrived you can see watermark on the road. Members give the Lord the programme when rain would stop but for his children He answered their prayer.

Philippians 4:6 Never worry about anything. But in every situation let God know what you need in prayers and requests while giving thanks.
Philippians 4:7 Then God's peace, which goes beyond anything we can imagine, will guard your thoughts and emotions through Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers and sisters, keep your thoughts on whatever is right or deserves praise: things that are true, honorable, fair, pure, acceptable, or commendable.
Matthew 6:9

"This is how you should pray: Our Father in heaven, let your name be kept holy.
Matthew 6:10 Let your kingdom come. Let your will be done on earth as it is done in heaven.

It looks like heaven on earth suround by the cloud. Here we are new preaching point with His hands on it. Everthing came together like dream. Big jigsaw puzzle we have when we heard that they want me to be at Bow Winat the middle of last year but end up with just a spearhead. They eventually want a church or two at Bow Win. We experienced of God hands guided us until eventually came to this place. Glory to God I thank God for my team voluntarily, and accept no recognition when the work finished. This is really God's hands.

After morning service finished at the main church they have lunch together for the last time before before rushing to have another service at Pradumri Bow Win United Methodist's preaching point openning celebration. The date has been postphoned from the end of April to the 6 May 2007. Many of members from the mother church took their time came and help them fixing the new preaching point many days before it ready and look wonderful decorated. Everyone seemed satisfied of the outcome.

Matthew 6:20

Instead, store up treasures for yourselves in heaven, where moths and rust don't destroy and thieves don't break in and steal.

Guests came early as well and seats has been taken off earlier. Many of the members were outside. People in yellow came from Ao Udom preaching point come to help as many of his members are in the area.

"Matthew 6:21 Your heart will be where your treasure is.
Matthew 6:22 "The eye is the lamp of the body. So if your eye is unclouded, your whole body will be full of light.

We worshiped the Lord together once more before any other things. It is wonderful to praise the Lord even in the afternoon which is full of His purpose. In front row Rev.Dr. Somsak director of the Payoa Bible College, Dr.Wiseth, Sarah the founders of GPC. Chonburi. few pastors from Pattaya also joined us.

Matthew 6:24 "No one can serve two masters. He will hate the first master and love the second, or he will be devoted to the first and despise the second. You cannot serve God and wealth.

Thanksgiving before doing others thing.

Overflow of people from the reception tent which is too amall for the big crowd. They sit on the road which is shady at this time of the day.


John 16:23 When that day comes, you won't ask me any more questions. I can guarantee this truth: If you ask the Father for anything in my name, he will give it to you.

Blessed are the poor in spirit! .

Thank God for His love for us and His love endure forever. Thank God for He is God.
Heart of God in Matthew 5:3

"Blessed are the poor in spirit! For theirs is the kingdom of Heaven."

To do God's work on 5 May 2007 started with I have few questions have not yet answered. I was not sured that the visiting Panthong, Nong Tum Lueng is leaded by the Lord because many times we felt that we wanted to do for the sake of doing it. I put this idea and submitted to the Lord that I want to visited the area of Nong Tum Lueng and Pan Thong area. The rest of plan and details He has to guide us since we were there so many times and do not excite any more. Pan Thong district area as I checked in the the map, it is the old town next to Muang district, Chon Buri. The area split ed into two areas. One area is very fast growing industrial estate "Amata Industrial Estate". This industrial estate is closer to the new "Suvanapoomi airport ". Another area is the area where people do rice farming and will not be so long to keep their land when the price of the land come up higher they will sell off and move away one by one. They will go to suffer somewhere else. We can see the new estate is not very far from the village even now.

As I prayed and asked for new direction near the end of last month. Someone mentioned Panas's new church and then the scripture of Mark 1:38 came up during seeking the direction prayers:-

"And He said to them, Let us go into the next towns so that I may proclaim there also. For that reason I came forth."

I thought next town to go and spread the Gospel may be Panas Nikom and took initiate to go and visit the area last week. We visited some church there but surprisingly there are two churches established there already but during we were there we met a lady who come from Pan Thong to look for a music school for her son. I asked her whether she is a Christian but she declined. I asked her name and exchanged few more sentences and told her that we might go to Pan Thong to let the people in that area know about good news and kingdom of God. After lunch and nothing so significant for the visiting Panas Nikom that day during drove back to Nong Tum Leung. The question of next town came up. I went back and checked the map. The next town is not Panas but--- should it be Pan Thong?...... Yes it is, but my mind don't really see any point of going there. Carnally I do not know what to do with the situation surround that area, people worship anything. I still see people worships mold hill around from the house of the believer. I asked the Lord of what should we do with these people whose lifestyle has never changed. God did answered us later of how He taught those people.


We started the day just 15 minutes after nine in the morning. to go to gathering place. After committed the ministry to the Lord to guide us, then we moved. Prompting in my heart to visit Deputy village chief first. He was there like waiting for us. We asked him whether he read Bible that some of them gave him earlier. He has not accepted Christ yet. He talked to us for a while and told him that we are praying to come back to teach Bible in his area. He agreed to that and told us that he do not understand what he read earlier. Thank God that he did read the Bible eventually. He then accused himself to make hay while the sunshine to work in the field. We exchanged telephone number with him and left.

We visited a lady who accepted Christ during my first visited last year. The lady in blue told us about her life as a Christian who accepted Christ but no Bible study, long time never bother to attend church. She is doing like she what she was before accepted Christ. She still have habits of drinking hard liqueur, often swearing after few sentences and sometimes still join a group of friends to visit medium. She told us about experience with God during this period of 3 weeks she did go to see near-by medium for a blessing. This trip the medium put josstick on her knee and tried to give her a blessing.
She told us with her normal swearing style that as the medium trying to bless her suddenly the medium fall on her back heavily like some one pushed her very hard. After the medium lady got up. She said that she doesn't want to be there any more. Then the spirit left the medium. She left the people wondering what was happened to the medium and why that medium can not give her a blessing.

We told her about the believers authority and assured her that we will come back to tell her more and to follow up some basic Christianity soon. We noticed that there are a lot of children around that area if we could come up with some children ministry for them. Pray! These people doesn't know how to ask God yet we have to pray for them.


The time we were there we saw a man who come from Bangkok busy with his washing. We talked to him and and told him about the gospel eventually we decided to give him some time as he asked to study "The Redeemer", the book which is telling about our Lord Jesus. The team prayed for him. The boy who look up to us is another kid who joined us there look after by him.

He did not reject and we even see some interest in him but to get him to be saved has to come from the Lord. He promised to read the book we gave him.

During we were talking a pregnant who saved from my first visit to the area last year came and joined us. She told us how wonderful the Lord wonderfully saved her during the car accident lately and asked for the Bible. Thank God for the Gideon Bible. We gave away few Bible today. We listen what she really want to tell us. We told her about our burden to go back there to have Bible class. She is willing but told us some expected problem. We prayed for blessings from the Lord her and her baby and and moved out to visit non-believer, who (we were told) is very sick.

We went to visit a lady who is unable to walk shared word of God in Revelation 21

"Revelation 21:18

And the foundation of its wall was jasper; and the city was pure gold, like clear glass.
Revelation 21:19 And the foundations of the wall of the city had been adorned with every precious stone. The first foundation, jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;
Revelation 21:20 the fifth, sardonyx ; the sixth sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprasus; the eleventh, hyacinth; the twelfth, amethyst. "
_ _ _ _ _ _Reason we read the Revelation come from

Revelation 1:3 "Blessed is the one who reads and hears the Words of this prophecy, and the ones keeping the things written in it, for the time is near. "

We went to visit a lady who accepted Christ during our visit in March 2007 and asked her to have this place to hold our cell meeting. Ajarn Damrong (the man on the back who wear white T shirt) is willing to accept to lead the cell if we can fix the meeting on week end because he works with the government. The man in purple's name is "Man" who drives us there and in Green his name is "Janya" who used to be a drunkard in the area before but they are the team initiated the outreach in this area. We were in time to reap the harvest . This time we have to follow them up not just get them saved but also put them on the steady ground of Christ at the same time I think of the Scriptures on Matthew 22.

Matthew 22:10 So the servants went out into the highways and gathered together as many as they found, both bad and good. And the wedding was filled with reclining guests.
Matthew 22:11 And the king coming in to look over the guests, he saw a man there who did not have on a wedding garment.
Matthew 22:12 And he said to him, Friend, how did you come in here without having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
Matthew 22:13 Then the king said to the servants, Bind him hand and foot and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Matthew 22:14 For many are called, but few chosen.

After lunch we visit Pan Thong district just a brief look then come back to visit another believer who has problem on the idolatry. Pa Porn after she became a Christian she can not wear Buddha amulet otherwise she will have headache. She used to have a lot of those Buddha images. After she accepted Christ she put all in the box and take to her relative house. Four months a lot of things happened to her relative house. Their son went to gambling den in Poi pet, Cambodia. After loosing a lot of money they capture her nephew for ransom they blamed on her idols at their place. Not only that they dreamed about her husband asked her to take back. Those idols also came to her relatives' dream asked her to take back. Eventually she took them back to destroy them but when those idols reached home she unable to destroy them because her children, non-believers, were against. We can see that those spirit in the idols were cunning and control the non-believers tremendously. I read Psalm 115 to her and explained to her not to fight with her children over those things but take control because she is in better position to use the Lord's name, His blood to stop those idols activities.

"Psalm 115:3 But our God is in Heaven; He has done whatever He has pleased.
Psalm 115:4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
Psalm 115:5 They have mouths, but they do not speak; they have eyes, but they do not see;
Psalm 115:6 they have ears, but they do not hear; they have noses, but they do not smell;
Psalm 115:7 they have hands, but they do not handle; they have feet, but they do not walk; they do not mutter through their throat.
Psalm 115:8 The ones who make them are like them, and everyone who trusts in them."

We explained to her gradually taken those away until one day there will be nothing left. If she do not know how to renounce against them let us know when she ready. We spent quite a while talking to her. Before we left we prayed the blessing, and surround her and her house with the Blood of Jesus stop all spirit activities in her house until opportune time when we can get rid of them properly.

.
"Philippians 2:9 This is why God has given him an exceptional honor- the name honored above all other names-
Philippians 2:10 so that at the name of Jesus everyone in heaven, on earth, and in the world below will kneel
Philippians 2:11 and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father."

Mayday Holiday

Monday is our routine to go to Bow Win to equip our vans' drivers group at old preaching point, Kanam Jed, Bow Win. We started from my place just after 9.00 a.m. after prayed. As we hit the main road my phone rang. A drivers told me that as the next day is a Mayday holiday many of factories closed another day to give all workers a day off. Since we prayed we believe that no mater what we will go. Numt the regular who always drive us to Bow Win told us that he has cassette player to bless the lady who stay at that preaching point so that she can listen to the Scriptures. Thank God for reason that at least we can be a blessings to some one. After given away the player we stopped by the new preaching point just to pay Ajarn Jarun a visit. New preaching point just about to be ready, stage was up, pulpit was there, drum was in place seem every things is ready. Thank God for Ajarn Jarun who put in a lot of hard work for the new preaching point. He and his wife are just eveready to go there. Actually they stay there to look after the premise. Schedule to open on the 6th May 2007 Rev. Mike Morrissey has prepared opening sermon already. Thank God for this project which was happened so quick within 7 months of UMC's missionaries staying in Thailand.

We have left the preching point and go to Pan Sadej to see Poh Tawee and asked him to invite people, some local politcians, some teacher of his own group. Wonderful timing we have like pre-arrangement as we reached there he was just about waiting dressed up nicely to go to the bank. Look like he was waiting for us. He took those cards and even promised to attend the church. Thank God for those timing. We had nothing paticular to do at the begining but ended up with many important things to do.

We left Poh Tawee's house by diferrent way to Rayong fruit fair walk-in and given out few tracts to people there, buy some rambutans and mangosteens back. The weather was so cloudy and cool. On the way back Numt took another way through another industrial estate during construction. This new estate seem not many people settle there yet. He drove through Ban Bueng and having dinner there. We took our own time to go back to attend cell meeting at the church.
