...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.
