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.
