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.
