A sower went out to sow.



Mark 4:3 "Listen! A sower went out to sow.
Mark 4:4 As he was sowing, some seeds fell along the path, and birds came and ate them up.
Mark 4:5 Others fell on stony ground, where they did not have a lot of soil. They sprouted at once because the soil wasn't deep.
Mark 4:6 But when the sun came up, they were scorched. Since they did not have any roots, they dried up.

We have faced the situation ourselves when we went out to sow. In the Scripture "A sower" what we can figure out would mean our Lord Jesus himself went out to sow. We are committed to be his vessel and went out to share to people. We are especially I am of some sort so timid one and what we would do for Him is just went out to witness of what the Lord Jesus has done to our life and witness to lives we have met. We have been sharing Christ with others. We shared good news or Jesus to others. That is meant Jesus is the good news Himself. We have learnt the routine to lead others to confess to have sinner prayer, to cut off the bondages, to announce and to renounce then leave those people with the Lord.


These 4 ladies are fruits of such action of being the vessel of the Lord in Laos, Suvannaketh province. She joined us in the meeting and witnesses of what God is doing in their lives fin theie country.


1Corinthians 1:5 For in him you have become rich in every way-in speech and knowledge of every kind.
1Corinthians 1:6
In this way, our testimony about Christ has been confirmed among you.
At the meeting during "Song grand" or water festival in Thailand we saw hands of God over people lives fron full resistance become furvent believers and take obedient to be baptised in the water fall in Phya Yen jungle. The area used to call Phya Fire but now call SO COOL jungle. All 13 of them have wonderful testimonies about what the Lord has done to their lives.







1Corinthians 1:9 Faithful is the God by whom you were called into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
1Corinthians 1:10 Brothers, I urge all of you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to be in agreement and not to have divisions among you, so that you may be perfectly united in your understanding and opinions.

Listen to my words, O LORD, and hear my sighs.

There are many reasons to thank God for again and again. Many things not what we expected but God knows and He warned us in advance. Just what we can see and appreciated as some samples during this week-end alone.
First thing came on Friday when I went to join Friday prayer group when anyone can raise their prayer points for the group to pray. One of the member asked the group to pray for Ajarn Dumrong who back to his home town for journey mercy to North Eastern province. Ajarn Damrong is oner of our partner who is not only faithful, well worth in Scriptures but also very good in playing guitar to lead those children in singing Gospel songs for Nong Tamleung's children Ministry.
Unawares I take ownership of the ministry and get the thinking went worrisome of getting those children bored. Only I and K.Dum and probably Numt, Noon and Junior. I prayed for Ajarn Damrong for save journey back home. I came home and knelt down asking the Lord for helping the event next day.
LatelyI started seeing the amount of children getting less and less and programme we do are lack luster.
Second thing. Saturday morning we go as usual many children awaited us at Pah Jongkol Loong (uncle) Jamnong's house. Pah Jongkol was not in asusual mood even at the same usual place. She told us that she has just come back from the hospital from the drop because of being very tired. We learned also that she is now 72 years of age and unable to walk many years and being left alone for year to help herself during they have their own family,work and stay away. Her husband is younger than her 6 years and he is 66 years of age but still in the condition of abuse his body difficult to walk and work. The admiration went to many at the age of more than 80 and the Lord has blessed them still be able to walk and bless many people.

During we spent time talking with Pah Jongkol I at the corner of my eye I saw the van came in then we saw many GPC's members and interns from Payoa Bible college walked in. Praise the Lord problem of the guitarist solved. We asked them to wait for us under the tree in Ban Boh and we said we will follow them soon. I came out from the house get in the car but frustratedly unable to get the car started. Just a bit frustration but I know that it's not happened if the Lord not allowed. We call the Janya back to help. Thanks God after pulled this and that and called the macnanics who had just repared the part we can manage to get it started. When we reach the place where event was taking place the two interns have already taken the programme off. Then the whole two hours the children really enjoy games and sang many gospel songs. Praise the Lord for His love and mercy endure forever.


The third thing. This boy's name is "Zack" reminded me to Zachariah, father of John the baptist, is always follow the group quietly, do what children do. He told us that his mother does not want him to read the Bible and asked him to return the Bible to us and he did that yesterday. So sad. We don't understand what rationale behind why the mother who love the child do not want them to know God. We do not know the reason of what by their understanding or the work of the wrong spirit who control them. We have met and talked with her mother once and we thought she understand. He went home and came back to us with Gideons International Bibles in his hand with downcast expression quietly returned to us. After sang to God be the glory we finished the event about two o'clock we pulled him over and asked him whether he really like to go to the church to-morrow. He say "yes". We prayed as desire of his heart we aked God to fullfil that desire. When I saw them in the church on Sunday morning I thanks God for His answer.

We have many more reasons to give thank to our heavenly Father unable to tell the world how good he is.

Psalm 5:1 Listen to my words, O LORD, and hear my sighs.
Psalm 5:2 Listen to my cry for help, my God and king! I pray to you, O LORD;
Psalm 5:3 you hear my voice in the morning; at sunrise I offer my prayer and wait for your answer.
Psalm 5:4 You are not a God who is pleased with wrongdoing; you allow no evil in your presence.
Psalm 5:5 You cannot stand the sight of the proud; you hate all wicked people.
Psalm 5:6 You destroy all liars and despise violent, deceitful people.
Psalm 5:7 But because of your great love I can come into your house; I can worship in your holy Temple and bow down to you in reverence.
Psalm 5:8 LORD, I have so many enemies! Lead me to do your will; make your way plain for me to follow.
Psalm 5:9 What my enemies say can never be trusted; they only want to destroy. Their words are flattering and smooth, but full of deadly deceit.
Psalm 5:10 Condemn and punish them, O God; may their own plots cause their ruin. Drive them out of your presence because of their many sins and their rebellion against you.
Psalm 5:11 But all who find safety in you will rejoice; they can always sing for joy. Protect those who love you; because of you they are truly happy.
Psalm 5:12 You bless those who obey you, LORD; your love protects them like a shield.

Amen...... and Amen!
