Rossukol in her village.

This is the way to go to her house, it should rather call shade or hut. I parked the car on the better condition road then walk-in.

We have just finished sharing "Church of Pergamum" from Revelation 2:11-17 in the office of concrete factory cell. The cell were held many months back on every Wednesday lunch time. Main purpose is to reach their workers but after few time they does not want to join us any more. Anyway the cell become Bible teaching cell.

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.
1Peter 2:25 For you were as sheep going astray, but now you are turned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
These above photos taken last year 2007 after we prayed for her healing. I believe in the Lord and His words that whatever in the Bible as we follow, we trust. In Romans chapter 1:16 "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.. Our God is still heal today. K.Dum is taking the reading of Scriptures and explain to her. Earlier during she only lie down with her sickness now she can sit up and trying to walk. Her mother asked for a pair of slipper.

Two weeks after Chinese New Year. We thank God.

Romans 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin so that grace may abound?
Romans 6:2 Let it not be! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?
Romans 6:3 Do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death?

Thanks be to God for the relationship between our team and the children. They expected our time of our arrival and were waiting for us in this area, the area of the first believer when I come in to Nong Tamleung. This area was a blessed to bless others to us when we looking for the place the Lord want us to grow in Him. When we arrived to this place last year we have the first believer who waiting to accept the Lord. Thanks be to God for his encouragement. Her one year after she accepted Christ did not change much in many way but we can see God use her for many people save at this place. She used to drink a lot but when she became Christian they refused to sell liqueur to her. She is so friendly and many like to come to chit chat with her.

1Corinthians 3:1 As a matter of fact, my friends, I could not talk to you as I talk to people who have the Spirit; I had to talk to you as though you belonged to this world, as children in the Christian faith.
1Corinthians 3:2 I had to feed you milk, not solid food, because you were not ready for it. And even now you are not ready for it,
1Corinthians 3:3 because you still live as the people of this world live. When there is jealousy among you and you quarrel with one another, doesn't this prove that you belong to this world, living by its standards?

Romans 6:4 Therefore we were buried with Him by baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father; even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Romans 6:5 For if we have been joined together in the likeness of His death, we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection;
Romans 6:6 knowing this, that our old man is crucified with Him in order that the body of sin might be destroyed, that from now on we should not serve sin.

After 2 weeks plus of becoming Jesus Christ's believers many of them spent a lot of time reading the Bible a girl the one wear white (in the photo) is now start reading Hebrews. Her name is "Ney", she is an orphan taking care by her grand mother. She was the first one who desired to accept Christ and asked us to lead her to Christ. Progress of reading the Scripture is not the same some of them is still reading Matthew but many has read gospel of John. They have many questions they want to ask. Today 23 February is the second day we started using the Scriptures and tell them what they are really mean to all believers' lives. We start telling them about authority of the believers using Luke chapter 5 tell them about co-operate among believers and power of the Word of God or the Bible.

Mark and Mon (both have their heads shaved) became monks as their parents' wish during the past two weeks just come out from become monkhood. Straight from the yellow robe last few day and happy to come to worship the Lord with us. You can see Mark's action during his worshipping of how fervent he is. Man lead the worship Ajarn Damrong and Poom (Bible college's student who loves Nong Tamleung's children) played guitars during the worship.

After the worship ended and just about to go for lunch 2 girls, one girl "Oom" is a daoghter of the owner of the house and her Friend "Fluke" who born on Christmas day desired to accept Christ. Khun Dum leaded them sinner prayer and cut out bondages surrounded by her Friends prayed for them.

We are praying for Oom's father that he can take the offer of taking the children to the GPC's first and adults if they want to go to church. Anyway we have not met and discuss with him yet.

Luke 6:6 On another Sabbath Jesus went into a synagogue and taught. A man was there whose right hand was paralyzed.

After lunch all children went to visit a six years paralysed man and prayed for him. He has accepted Christ during my absent to Singapore. Khun Dum and the team lead him to Christ. As we sang the worship song to him he cried. His daughter-in-law who is looking after him during her husband at work was with us during we sang gospel songs. She was asked whether she want to accept Christ and as she agreed Janya lead her to Christ. All these happened we know and we know that it is possible in His time by grace of God whose love and mercy endure forever.

Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD from heaven, You that live in the heights above.

Chinese New Year

I left Chonburi, Thailand after a day of ministry in the village with the Children and grattitude to the Lord. Actually we do not know how to do the ministry but we follow God's heartbeat, the people and the people in the Scriptures in gospel of Luke chapter 14: 13, 14
Luke 14:13 When you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind;
Luke 14:14 and you will be blessed, because they are not able to pay you back. God will repay you on the day the good people rise from death."

I have found my problem loving others until I realised that whom we belong to.

1John 4:6 But we belong to God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever does not belong to God does not listen to us. This, then, is how we can tell the difference between the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
1John 4:7 Dear friends, let us love one another, because love comes from God. Whoever loves is a child of God and knows God.
1John 4:8 Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love.

We spent celebration really among my wife's close relatives generally of her age and with our cell group. Our Church's life we have more people in the cell than people in the world.

We still have relatives who still do not know Christ and do not want to hear anything involve with their so-called Christianity from us. God is gracious I always have opportunities to tell them indirectly about our Lord Jesus Christ and Saviour. I do not think they can get through judgement date by their own works or deeds.

For this is good and acceptable

1Timothy 2:1 First of all, then, I exhort that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men,
1Timothy 2:2 for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.
1Timothy 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,
1Timothy 2:4 who will have all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
1Timothy 2:5 For God is one, and there is one Mediator of God and of men, the Man Christ Jesus,
1Timothy 2:6 who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

19 January, Saturday we go to at first visit Pah Chongkol and Loong Jamnong at his house as usual. Few children came out and wait for us along the road. When we reached the house the girl join us during scriptures reading to the couple. After that she indicated that she want to accpted Christ as her Lord and Savior.

She has her thirteen birthday a day earlier. We thank God for His timing and opened heart time and place. K.Dum led her to Christ and explained to her duty which Christian should do. We then left the house to the gathering place.
Another followed Saturday a group of children awaited us at the same house about 10 of them but 5 children wanted to accept Christ. K.Dum led them to Christ and went through procedure of explanation ofChristian's duty: Pray, Read the Bible, Fellowship and Witnesses. Rejoice with us also with the direction I believed that from God.

Many times God always surprised us the way we never expected but after we looked back all the work He has done we always amazed the out come. Without Him seems we can't do anything at all.

Man has prayed for his relatives for years since he came to know the Lord as his Savior. He brought the gospel to his family and eventually his mother has accepted Christ too. Her funeral brought many of his relatives and freinds come to gether. We went to the place where his mother's body suppose to be cremated, one of Buddhist monastry (wat).
The night we accompanied him the lady wanted to accepted Christ even during monks were chanting. I confessed that I afraid to lead sinner prayer to her but eventually I did it believing and trusting that the Lord allowto take the opportunity and led us doing it. Another day in the same temple another one has been led to Christ also. Rejoice with us. What you see in the picture man was telling further the marvellous story in the Bible.

Saturday(2nd February) we started the day by prayer commited the event of that day to the Lord and follow by sing those Gospel songs children have already learn by neart. We taught them John Gospel chapter 1:29 and asked them the question that how do you know about the Lord and simple question like how Simon Peter know the Lord. Peter heard about the Lord through Andrew his brother. So how people in the village know about Jesus. After lunch 10 of them wanted to acceptChrist as their Lord and Savior. I do not want to guess of what the Lord want us to do. I told Him that I am not that smart to guess what I am going to do your will if you are not tell me clearly.

Genesis 15:6 And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.

Genesis 15:8 And he said, O Lord GOD, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?
