...from whom all the family in heaven and on earth receives its name.

14 August 2007 Rev. Tay KL and Robert Chan joined us in the Tuesday's cell meeting at Kuhn Duang's (far left) house. For them it's a high honour and blessings to have minister visit and share the gospel to them because even the church's founders have never been to their meeting place, as long as I know.

Acts 2:47 At the same time, they praised God and had the good will of all the people. Every day the Lord saved people, and they were added to the group.


It was the Lord who did this. There was no power in man to do it; and the Christian loves to trace all increase of the church to the grace of God. We can see God's hands in this gathering.

Added - Caused, or inclined them to be joined to the church. The church - To the assembly of the followers of Christ - ... people the Lord called out from the world.
Their humilty, serious, and devoted lives won the favor of the great mass of the community, and silenced opposition. This was a remarkable effect, but God has power to silence opposition; and there it nothing so well suited to do this as the humble and consistent lives of his friends..... Barnes.

After Rev.Tay Kay Leong and Robert Chan left on Wednesday 15 August here come again another Saturday. My wife and our younger son Tris arrived on Friday night at 22.30. Numt drove our God given Nissan Cefiro to the airport to pick them up and reached Chonburi just after mid-night.

Next day, Saturday is our visiting day to Nong Tumleung. We packed things for children and left the house before 9.00 o'clock. Kuhn Dum and Ajarn Achan the new GPC's pastor come with us.
Ajarn Damrong carrying his guitaron his back joined us at the village.

The first Christian's house we visited is a house of Pah(auntie) Keoung just to ask how was her walking life with the Lord the week before. There are two of them there today with their children. Pah Keoung has a grand daughter to look after. Her son in jail from drug addict case. During we were talking a motorbike came in with a lady and a child. She just have a day off and come in to see the village. I asked whether she want to join us. We gave children some sweet and gave her child some sweet too. We always carry tit-bits for children in this village. After I told her about what is the purpose of coming to this village and as well the good news about the Salvation of mankind. Kuhn Dum explained to her further and asked her whether she's willing to accept Christ.
As she expressed her willingness to accept Christ, Kuhn Dum lead her to Christ and explained few nessesary points to her and address if possible we can come back to follow up. We left her with the prayer for the protection of the Lord and moved to our regular schedule.

We visited Pah (auntie) Chongkol and Loong (uncle) Jamnong. Last week Pah Chongkol asked for pizza. We have bought for her from the supermarket but asked Numt to warmed up before giving them. We promised to come back later when pizza arrived. We did. Praise the Lord.

Kuhn Dum sharing a short scripture with them to bless thier lives and prayed that their lives will be a blessing to others, to their children and their neighbours. Thanks God for His love. We are also blessed. It is a blessed to bless others. We spent somtimes with them and take leave after a while. We went to the place where children always gatering and waiting for us.

Opening with praying for covering and commit the event to the Lord. Tris led the children to the song "Head, shoulder, knee, and toe" and I translated for him. We asked the children to follow. To do the song was fun excepted my tummy not allow to touch my toes easily. We have fun though. After that we play some games, gave the children

sweet my wife brought from Singapore. Revise some scripture lessons taken from Genesis. Then sing some scripture songs with Ajarn Dumrong. Next step we will bring them to see how the church worshipping the Lord. We are praying for the place big enough to hold the meeting, with few rooms for caretaker and store.
My deams that before the end of this year we can bring believers, children, and pre-believers to attend the church. We are praying for a new preaching point.

Psalm 121:
:1 A song for going up to worship. I look up toward the mountains. Where can I find help?
Psalm 121:2 My help comes from the LORD, the maker of heaven and earth.
Psalm 121:3 He will not let me fall. Your guardian will not fall asleep.
Psalm 121:4 Indeed, the Guardian of Israel never rests or sleeps.
Psalm 121:5 The LORD is my guardian. The LORD is the shade over my(our) right hand.
Psalm 121:6 The sun will not beat down on me(you) during the day, nor will the moon at night.
Psalm 121:7 The LORD guards me(you) from every evil. He guards my(our) life.
Psalm 121:8 The LORD guards me(you) as me(you) come and go, now and forever.

"I loved you," says the LORD. "But you ask, 'How did you love us?'

Malachi 1:2 "I loved you," says the LORD. "But you ask, 'How did you love us?'

We are blessed when Pastor Tay and Robert Chan visited GPC during 13-15 August 2007.

Rev.Tay and Robert Chan came from Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai as early as 9.00 o'clock that mean both parties have to wake up very early in the morning. They arrived on time from Chiang Mai we arrived the airport just few minutes before landing schedule. We have full programme from visiting cell member who moved away from GPC and visit ministry site, schedule meeting, dinner and share in the church at night.

Rev. Tay shared in the meeting on Monday's night and again during cell group meeting on Tuesday night. His very busy schedule during His visit glorified God in many ways. After he touched down from Chiang Mai we took him to visit and prayed for a man who is in coma. Thank God that we saw the man who unable to help himself accept the Lord by brinking eyes signal. By faith we know that the man will be better. By grace of God his wife's buddy, also neighbour after she accepted Christ about 2 months sacrificed her job by resigning from the work come and help taking turn to look after him with his daughter (of course she will get paid for looking after him). She is a young Christian from the same cell group (Tuesday cell group). By grace of God alone she be able to do so and giving hope to "Loong Siang's" family with the possibility of Long Siang's children to come to know the Lord. We are blessed to share this burden with her. I have this burden "to visit Long Siang" on Sunday 12 August during worshipping the Lord. Nattaya had been disappeared from comming to church many Sunday. Just few day after Rev.Tay's visit Chonburi she appeared in front of me during we worshipping in the morning of that day. Like an order "Go and visit her freind" His place is hard to find right insde but thanks God for His love we eventually found it. A soul of man has been saved. We believe.

John 5:7 The sick man answered Jesus, "Sir, I don't have anyone to put me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I'm trying to get there, someone else steps into the pool ahead of me."
John 5:8 Jesus told the man, "Get up, pick up your cot, and walk."
John 5:9 The man immediately became well, picked up his cot, and walked. That happened on a day of worship.

From left to right Rev.Tay, Man, Kuhn Dum, and Numt a regular group of our outreach volunteers to the new area, Nong Tumleung. Man is his name of the man who stand on the left next to Rev.Tay. told us that when he knew that Rev. Tay is coming to Chonburi he prayed and asked the Lord to grant him that he could have blessed schedule from the place he works to serve men of God during Rev.Tay and Robert Chan visiting. During that period the secretary of the company where he is working asked him to go to Na Klua, Aranyapratet for few days during that period for 7000 Bahts. He agreed with her and accepted before he knew that Rev.Tay and Robert Chan coming. After he knew about the trip he was thinking about cancel what he agreed earlier but as he do so he have to consider the consequence from the company. Eventually on the day that he has to confirm whether he is available or we have to look for another vihicle. He told us that the company's secretary called him up to cancel the the appointment trip. He came with "hallelui" to say yes to schedule we have. Praise the Lord.

The meeting with the founders on Monday 13, 2007 also blessed my heart.

All of us went to see them off at Suvanapoom airport. Our team are blessed from both of them even that very short time.


Acts 3:25 You are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, "And in your Seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed."

Acts 3:26 Having raised up His son Jesus, God sent Him to you first, to bless you in turning every one of you away from his iniquities.

Beginning the Month of August 2007

As usual we started our day visiting Ban Nern. We stop and talked with Ta Kong for a while. There are 3 believers in this area. Only one able to read but I think she will struggle to read the 2nd Bible we just given her last week. I prayed and asked the Lord to give her desire enough to read. After few more visits we went straight to the meeting point.
After committed the session to the Lord I asked them what they want to start with either Bible lesson or singing songs. They choose to study first. I have prepared Genesis 1: 1-5 with the story about day and night and simple pray.

They are children so simple and innocent enough to touch our heart. We asked God to help them through. We prayed for the Lord covering them each time. We commit them to the Lord as we know that after we went back the community around them or the world will take it force against them.
We split into two groups one bring the children to visit few old folks at that area to sing few songs to them at this time to keep in touch with them. During our visiting K.Dum and K.Man talked to some adult who came to join us. There are two new believers just accepted Christ during we went around to visit Pah Sumruay. By grace of God thery are allowed to come to His Kingdom.

Luke 14:15 When one of the guests sitting at the table heard this, he said to Jesus, "How happy are those who will sit down at the feast in the Kingdom of God!"
Luke 14:16 Jesus said to him, "There was once a man who was giving a great feast to which he invited many people.

On the right Lee is always drunk with cheap white liquer. Today she is a bit sober dresses much better than prevoius Saturday as she mixed around listen to the good news and then decided to accept the Lord eventually. Another one stand on Lee's right hand "Lome" came to us with just curiousity full of logic and doubts but she told us that she saw the cross when we arrived that place in that morning. Sinner pray followed by renouce all idols to their life and asked the Lord to grant them this life jouney mercy and be led by the Holy Spirit. Carnally I don't think they understand all this but we know that our good Lord will bring them through. Thank you Lord for working through us.

Another one is the lady in grey in this picture. She could not write nor read and skeptical about the good news. I told her not to believe what I say but listen to her own heart then I prayed for the Lord mercy to her a Saturdays before and to day she told us that she is ready to accept the Lord.
As I stopped for refreshment at the provision shop across the road she asked one of the the children to call me to come as she wanted to accept Christ.
I came and lead her to Christ. Thank God for using this vessel. I knew so well that of my ability I am not in any position to convince any of them to see the the kingdom of God. Another thing that she is illiterate who do not attend formal school at all. To read she depended on her grand hild who come along to sing songs with us.

A girl name "Palm" was waiting for us from the beginning asking us to visit her grand mother at her home another side of the village. We did as her request. We believe that her family will be blessed through her. Wonderful Ajarn Dumrong our guitarist who put his heart come along with us during his holiday. He loves fishing and spends many of his weekends and holidays by the fishing ponds all over the place in this area. Now he come with us every Saturday as a volunteer to play guitar for the children. Thank God for Your provision. Alone what can I do but with You I can do all thing in Christ Jesus. We looked to the whole area and from that what we have seen of all their problems we lose hearts. We keep going back there just only we believe that our God is there and He is doing something for this village and this area through His vessels who believe in Him and willing to do His will. I told Him earlier that I have no ability to do anything without Him. He assured me with His word.

"Philippians 4:13 I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me."

We decided to celebrate with them by asking them to join us for local kuay teow. The lady just first day try do not know how to do just know that she has put up 1000 Baht to buy ingredients and already sold some earlier. They afraid that they don't have enough for all children. So after we paid for the left over we move out to have lunch another place. Thank God for all encouragement while we teaching some basic Bible on Genesis 1, and singing gospel songs with children God prepared their hearts before joining us as we take tour of the same route to visit few senior people and pray for them. We are quite eager to tell them about the redemtion and the good news. Even we know that Salvation belongs to our God but we felt that we like to see faster rate to have more people saved.

Children love to play rough with Kajad instead of clap their own hands they beat Kajad's knees instead. After enjoy themselves. Freindship started caused them missed Kajad and looking for him next Saturday as he is too busy to come.

After we finished what we do in Nong Tumleung we left for lunch across the road behind the temple where their yong tou foo is good. While we waited Ajarn brought down guitar and we started sing Christian songs and talked to people. Thank God for His provision the lady who helping in the shop ready to accept Christ. We lead her to Christ but she told us that she can not come to church on Sunday because the day is good for business and she has a lot of things to do. We gave her Bible and believe that the Lord will increase her faith and know Him better so that all those blockage will become blessings to straighten her faith and knowing the Lord better. As she trusted Him she will be blessed and problems will not become stumbling block any more. With God all thing possible.

After lunch we make our way to see Rosukol as everytime we see her we can see God's hands are upon her. We are waiting for the "His opportune time".

Romans 5:16 And there is a difference between God's gift and the sin of one man. After the one sin, came the judgment of "Guilty"; but after so many sins, comes the undeserved gift of "Not guilty!"
Romans 5:17 It is true that through the sin of one man death began to rule because of that one man. But how much greater is the result of what was done by the one man, Jesus Christ! All who receive God's abundant grace and are freely put right with him will rule in life through Christ.

Rosukol's condition is encouraging she can turn herself left and right without helping. The can eat and look at her right now how she looked. Thank God.

Ephesians 2:6 God has brought us back to life together with Christ Jesus and has given us a position in heaven with him.
Ephesians 2:7 He did this through Christ Jesus out of his generosity to us in order to show his extremely rich kindness in the world to come.
Ephesians 2:8 God saved you through faith as an act of kindness. You had nothing to do with it. Being saved is a gift from God.
Ephesian 2:9 It's not the result of anything you've done, so no one can brag about it.
Eph 2:10 God has made us what we are. He has created us in Christ Jesus to live lives filled with good works that he has prepared for us to do.

Being saved is a gift from God.
Praise the Lord.
