Freed from sin, you were made slaves who do what God approves of.

24 May 2008, Saturday again one week of 7 days came so fast. We thanks God for each day of all being able to be used by Him day in day out.

Romans 7:1 Don't you realize, brothers and sisters, that laws have power over people only as long as they are alive? (I'm speaking to people who are familiar with Moses' Teachings.)

The FUMC's (First United Methodist Church) leader change the venue of Friday praying from normal 20.00-22.00 hour to pray all night and change the place from premise of FUMC to prayer mountain in Bang Phra. We set out as usual timing at 18.00 then reached the Prayer Mountain at 19.30. then many parties followed. Pradumri Methodist Bow Win Church also come to join first period of pray. There is no one know programme or schedule but only leader knew. Thanks God after dinner we started the first period of pray by separate in to 4 groups.
People are such a sheep without leader follow whatever the leader lead them. Thank You Lord Jesus that He is leading this event. Many touch by God's glory, some filled with the love of Christ into their heart.

After the first session over around 11.00 we, 4 adults and 2 children, take leave to have private prayer and take a good rest. We realised that next day we will have no helpers allow to follow us due to that over night pray. I went home and kneel down and prayed asked peace to my mind as we well aware that tomorrow there are no guitarist helping us to start the programme. We know that the ministry we do is belong to the Lord but not to the FUMC / nor its' members as the leader did not agree of what we are doing from the beginning. We thanks God that we still carried on and their members are still allowed to help, and did not stop it's interns who come to train with them to help us each week. We will see more clearly that when the church have some function on the Saturday they will treat the ministry in Nong Tamleung as a secondary and they will take all helpers with them. I thanks God again that only 4 of us plus the 2 children (some GPC's members anyway who are faithful from the beginning) the Lord still gave us beautiful programme that encouraged us.
We started with opening prayer then sing gospel songs. Even with out guitar we can worship the Lord well. Follow by scripture memorise contest of Psalm 23 verse 1 and 2. Many of them did well so we gave some sweet to the winners. God is good all the time as He put the peace in our heart. He has never fail us even in human eyes the church programme caused them deserted this ministry unintentionally. We know that he is always with us.

Before lunch we gave away some new T-shirt to boys who can wear and some dresses for people where we held the function.

After lunch we took all the children to other side of the village helping giving out old clothes to people. Even we told them to give to other people but they still hold something for themselves.







After giving away the clothes we went in to visit Loong Kang who watched TV. during his daughter in law selling BBQ chicken outside.

Romans 7:14 I know that God's standards are spiritual, but I have a corrupt nature, sold as a slave to sin.
Romans 7:15 I don't realize what I'm doing. I don't do what I want to do. Instead, I do what I hate.
Romans 7:16 I don't do what I want to do, but I agree that God's standards are good.
Romans 7:17 So I am no longer the one who is doing the things I hate, but sin that lives in me is doing them.
Romans 7:18 I know that nothing good lives in me; that is, nothing good lives in my corrupt nature. Although I have the desire to do what is right, I don't do it.
Romans 7:19 I don't do the good I want to do. Instead, I do the evil that I don't want to do.
Romans 7:20 Now, when I do what I don't want to do, I am no longer the one who is doing it. Sin that lives in me is doing it.
Romans 7:21 So I've discovered this truth: Evil is present with me even when I want to do what God's standards say is good.

We asked one man whether he want to accept Christ. I took his daughter to my hands and carried her. K.Dum led him the sinner prayer.
We are still praying for the heart and God's timing for having a cell group here.

Romans 6:16 Don't you know that if you offer to be someone's slave, you must obey that master? Either your master is sin, or your master is obedience. Letting sin be your master leads to death. Letting obedience be your master leads to God's approval.
Romans 6:17 You were slaves to sin. But I thank God that you have become wholeheartedly obedient to the teachings which you were given.

FUMC has a new phase of life as a church adopted by UMC. The changes we can see that not only the name GPC but also on 25 May 2008 the Holy Communion used to performed by Dr.Wises all along now UMC's Rev. Sherry has taken over and the water baptism has a new look when they used to be performing by Dr. Somsak of the Payao Bible college but now by UMC's Rev. Mike and Sherry Morrisey. I was unable to attend as I have appointment to go to Sri Racha's Ao Udom church to a farewell party to an intern who come and help Ao Udom church during Bible school holidays. I were told that a lot of members participated full support in the Water Baptism on the Bang Phra beach. Congratulations to FUMC for the success, huge step of transformation is taking place.

Revelation 16:17 The seventh angel poured his bowl into the air. A loud voice came from the throne in the temple, and said, "It has happened!"
Revelation 16:18 There was lightning, noise, thunder, and a powerful earthquake. There has never been such a powerful earthquake since humans have been on earth.
Revelation 16:19 The important city split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. God remembered to give Babylon the Great the cup of wine from his fierce anger.
Revelation 16:20 Every island vanished, and the mountains could no longer be seen.
Revelation 16:21 Large, heavy hailstones fell from the sky on people. The people cursed God because the plague of hail was such a terrible plague.

Blessed is the one who reads, as well as those who hear the words of this prophecy and pay attention to what is written in it because the time is near.

The LORD is mighty in Zion.

18-20 May 2008 International Leadership Institutes has a program to train leaders of national level. Take 8 cores value to train new leaders to reach another level of leaders.

Two Christian brothers from Singapore churches came in the Sunday evening to join teaching team. I went to the airport to picked them uplate in the evening. We have dinner in the airport because from the airport we will take a new route I have never been before but thanks be to God of our Lord Jesus Christ that night every thing went so smooth until toward the end when we turn to a small lane and we knew that is not the way. Eventually we reached the destination safely. This is the truth when Kwang called me to do this and that seem too much for the old man I submitted too the Lord. Mr. Levi came back from the south to drive the van from Rangsit to Nakorn Pathom. We travelled the route we never been before 2 subjects I have to take care of half way one of the Pastor at Nakorn Pathom come in to make lesson more practical. Translating become knowledge and make me learn subjects they prepared first hand. The most learning part is from Word of God:

Isaiah 55:4 I made him a witness to people, a leader and a commander for people.
Isaiah 55:5 You will summon a nation that you don't know, and a nation that doesn't know you will run to you because of the LORD your God, because of the Holy One of Israel. He has honored you."
Isaiah 55:6 Seek the LORD while he may be found. Call on him while he is near.

Anything we committed to the Lord with prayer and cast all your cares to Him will come out the way we 've never expected. Read from the scriptures yourselves.

Isaiah 55:7 Let wicked people abandon their ways. Let evil people abandon their thoughts. Let them return to the LORD, and he will show compassion to them. Let them return to our God, because he will freely forgive them.
Isaiah 55:8 "My thoughts are not your thoughts, and my ways are not your ways," declares the LORD.
Isaiah 55:9 "Just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways, and my thoughts are higher than your thoughts."
Isaiah 55:10 "Rain and snow come down from the sky. They do not go back again until they water the earth. They make it sprout and grow so that it produces seed for farmers and food for people to eat.
Isaiah 55:11 My word, which comes from my mouth, is like the rain and snow. It will not come back to me without results. It will accomplish whatever I want and achieve whatever I send it to do."
Isaiah 55:12 You will go out with joy and be led out in peace. The mountains and the hills will break into songs of joy in your presence, and all the trees will clap their hands.
Isaiah 55:13 Cypress trees will grow where thorn bushes grew. Myrtle trees will grow where briars grew. This will be a reminder of the LORD'S name and an everlasting sign that will never be destroyed.

Teaching team stay in a timber house even no air-condition it was quite comfortable. Thanks the Lord God that He has provided not too heavy rain earlier just right to cool down the place for us. They call the place " Eden" as the owner bought over this place from a group of Buddhist monks who practice meditation earlier. The place has offered us free of charge. The owner willingly to bear the electrical bill and water bill. He said God has provided him more than enough.
One brother in our teaching team is a marathon runner and very active in physical exercises taught us about stretching out many parts of our body, this part and that part after our devotion and just before breakfast. Sweat out before cold shower in the morning.


Psalm 41:2 The LORD will protect him and keep him alive. He will be blessed in the land. Do not place him at the mercy of his enemies.
Psalm 41:3 The LORD will support him on his sickbed. You will restore this person to health when he is ill.
Psalm 41:4 I said, "O LORD, have pity on me! Heal my soul because I have sinned against you."

17 May 2008 we have a lot of helpers - 2 interns from Payao Bible college came and help playing guitars, Oh 14 years old boy member of First United Methodist Church, Janya a driver working under Saen Sook Transport under the church leader's company and also member of the FUMC + regular volunteers became 8 helpers.

God always has His way to teach us and lead us if we allow Him to. Every Saturday we have different experience.

Romans 5:2 Through Christ we can approach God and stand in his favor. So we brag because of our confidence that we will receive glory from God.
Romans 5:3 But that's not all. We also brag when we are suffering. We know that suffering creates endurance,
Romans 5:4 endurance creates character, and character creates confidence.
Romans 5:5 We're not ashamed to have this confidence, because God's love has been poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

We took opportunity of many helpers taking care of the children programme went around the village just to visit and reach out to people whether they allow us to help, or anything we can do like praying for them. We now can walk and talk to people without being suspected. Some come to us just to ask of what we are doing. Some even ask about God and this is the way that we can glorify and honour Him. God gives us opportunities and at the same time teaching us also.

Romans 5:6 Look at it this way: At the right time, while we were still helpless, Christ died for ungodly people.
Romans 5:7 Finding someone who would die for a godly person is rare. Maybe someone would have the courage to die for a good person.
Romans 5:8 Christ died for us while we were still sinners. This demonstrates God's love for us.
Romans 5:9 Since Christ's blood has now given us God's approval, we are even more certain that Christ will save us from God's anger.
Romans 5:10 If the death of his Son restored our relationship with God while we were still his enemies, we are even more certain that, because of this restored relationship, the life of his Son will save us.

We spent almost an hour sowing the seed to a couple the owner of this eating place. Then when we asked whether they want to accept Christ as wife look at her husband he said politely that "We're not ready."

Thanks God for the opportunity but salvation belongs to our God. We are just workers in His garden and our duty is just to sow the seed. We than God for their answer politely not even chased us out.


Then Sunday come I took this opprtunity taking photo the song teaw the transport the people and children from Nong Tamleung to the church. The driver seldom join us but his wife and a kid always come in listen to the sermon.
Romans 1:16 I'm not ashamed of the Good News. It is God's power to save everyone who believes, Jews first and Greeks as well.
Romans1:17 God's approval is revealed in this Good News. This approval begins and ends with faith as Scripture says, "The person who has God's approval will live by faith."


Children's Sunday school finished earlier and come to this room to wait for us to finish lunch then they can go back. We believe God will do some thing to their lives through His church and power of the Word of God.

Romans 1:17 .............."The person who has God's approval will live by faith."

We have faith in God and His word and leave the result to God. What we would like to see and prayed for is the whole village being transformed to be heaven on earth.


Matthew 6:9 "This is how we should pray: Our Father in heaven, let your name be kept holy.
Matthew 6:10 Let your kingdom come. Let your will be done on earth as it is done in heaven.
....................................................................................

Matthew 6:13 Don't allow us to be tempted. Instead, rescue us from the evil one.
Matthew 6:14 "If you forgive the failures of others, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
Matthew 6:15 But if you don't forgive others, your Father will not forgive your failures.

'The one who is holy, who is true, who has the key of David, who opens a door that no one can shut, and who shuts a door that no one can open...,

'The one who is holy, who is true, who has the key of David, who opens a door that no one can shut, and who shuts a door that no one can open, says this:
Revelation 3:8 'I know your works. Look! I have put in front of you an open door that no one can shut. You have only a little strength, but you have kept my word and have not denied my name.

During I was on leave in Singapore their, Rosukol and mother, house had been hit by storm. The storm lifted up their house roof and many thing in it even the fridge and thrown somewhere further down. Her mother told us that Rosukol in her condition cried so loud for help but they have to hold down their head because the zinc roof circled over their heads. Old chack house is no longer there anymore only the timber floor become structure of their new house.
We unable to see her for a while. We even have intention to visit her during my wife visited Chonburi but we were so busy with something else until Jennifer told me about the calamity she has the incidence. Probably the same time, I guessed, with calamity in Mienma but difference only in size.

We decided to go to see her after sharing the church in Laodicea "Rev 3:14 "To the messenger of the church in Laodicea" at the factory cell group before getting too busy with others thing. They lost their home but thank God when we arrived yesturday the new house just about ready to move in. This time they will have a new and stonger house with plastered brick wall.

As we step out of the car a 19 years old girl told us that Rosukol and mother had move somewhere else and she volunteer to lead us there. She ride motor bike ahead of us to another side of the village. We followed her. So near yet so far because we have just come through that way earlier but we did not know she move there.

We were told many things about the incidence but we see no purpose and no excitement because we know God will protect His children. Rosukol is now stronger after the incidence. She can stand and walk like baby alone about 10 steps but because of she has big size and not so good for her to fall down. Her knee is blue black of that falling and a bit discouraged by the pain, Beside this she is improving. Our God is God.
O how much has his unwearied love to do! I rebuke - For what is past. And chasten - That they may amend for the time to come.

Revelation 3:18 Therefore, I advise you to buy from me gold purified in fire so that you may be rich, white clothes to wear so that you may keep the shame of your nakedness from showing, and ointment to put on your eyes so that you may see.
Revelation 3:19 I correct and discipline those whom I love, so be serious and repent!
Revelation 3:20 Look! I am standing at the door and knocking. If anyone listens to my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he will eat with me.
Revelation 3:19 I correct and discipline those whom I love, so be serious and repent!


The girl, Suree rat, who led us to see Rosukol and her mother join us in conversation. We told her about "good news" and the end time. After that K.Dum talked to her as I prayed quietly.

She eventually willing to accept the Lord. K.Dum lead her to christ by led her sinner pray. She stay for a while then asked permission to leave. We promised to give her Bible and pay her visit.

Her father used to ask us to jion them in drinking session sometimes back. We know and know that God is workung inanother village "Baan Nong Sumsark" not only Rosukol but her mother, her sister, her brother-in -law who just accepted Christ in the prison and now her relative. Our God reigns. Halleluia!

The greatest of these is charity.

1st May -9 th May 2008 my wife went to Nong Tamleung village to gether with ministry team. We have more people with us this trip Chen and Loong tribal student from Payao Bible collage, Oh a 14 years old boy join us frequently now, old members K.Dum, Numt and Noon with 2 boys in her care are also included.
This is Loong Kang who accepted Christ during our visit after lying down there for years. Faith, Hope, Love belong to our Lord. We're invited to pray for him by his grand daughter.

1Corinthians 13:13 But now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is love.

These are earlier in the Bible camp at Phya Yen boyscout camp our fellowship during lunch and during teaching session.
This pretty lady has been prayed for and the Lord healed her back just a while ago only. She went up to testify the goodness of the Lord and offered worship song for the Him. Praise the Lord. His love endures forever.












From Kao Yai with joyful heart to spend precious time to study the Word together with brothers and sisters in Christ who have the same faith, hope and same heart that love the Lord. Few days later Pastor John Lim, and brother Paul Low come over to visit our us in Chonburi. We, K.Dum and I went to airport to fetch them but as soon as they arrived in the airport his phone rang then all schedule have to be adjusted. Next day 3 of us went to Ao Udom church early in the morning to see pastor in charge, Pastor Seksan, then make our way to Rangsit to join Rev. Prasert who drove us up to Pak Thongchai, in Lopburi province to attend funeral of a MRC's member. Funeral service hold in the Buddhist temple. Praise the Lord that they allow us to do so.


Luke 14:13 But when you make a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind,
Luke 14:14 and you shall be blessed, for they cannot repay you; for you shall be repaid at the resurrection of the just.


We attended Sunday 4th May service at Ao Udom church. Many members are new but their love with each others impressed us. This same day I forgot my handphone at home but God is so gracious by not allow us go some where else but return home. Few missed calls from Bro. Derek from morning until even in that afternoon. I called him back and rushed to the airport. 45 minutes later we were there with them. Thanks God for their patience waiting for us all day long. They even gave us a treat feeded us with yummy Japanese dishes. Thanks Derek. Thank God for his eager to spread the gospel to many he met that day even the lady who cut his hair. We went to look for her later but she has gone home when we went there. Opportunity ane timing belong to the Lord.

'The one who is holy, who is true, who has the key of David, who opens a door that no one can shut, and who shuts a door that no one can open". He is our Lord.

They prayed for us for the blessings to the ministry before get in to the plane at around 5+ pm. Then we departed. He went back to Singapore we drove back to Chonburi.

That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

This is the picture of the road for you to compare tho opposite side is where the world is going and the empty road is where I am driving on, and heading to. The world do not want to understand that He is the way, the truth, and the life.

John 14:4 And where I go you know, and the way you know.
John 14:5 Thomas said to Him, Lord, we do not know where You go, and how can we know the way?
John 14:6 Jesus said to him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father but by Me.


1John 5:1 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God. And everyone who loves Him who begets also loves him who has been born of Him.
1John 5:2 By this we know that we love the children of God, whenever we love God and keep His commandments.
1John 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments, and His commandments are not burdensome.
1John 5:4 For everything that has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that overcomes the world, our faith.
1John 5:5 Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
1John 5:6 This is He who came through water and blood, Jesus Christ, not by water only, but by the water and blood. And the Spirit is He who bears witness, because the Spirit is the truth.
1John 5:7 For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these three are one.
1John 5:8 And there are three that bear witness on the earth: the Spirit, and the water, and the blood; and the three are into the one.

During water festival 13-15 April 2008 road full of cars who come to have fun where the beach is but the road along the beach would filled up with sea of people and cars as well. I came back from Ao Udom church on opposite direction and there is not too many cars on the road, traffics very light with few cars on the road. The world celebrated there meaningless event just to have fun in its way. Trowing pails of water to each others following the old tradition but some added more ideas added somethings to suit their own intention to the degree of fun where their flesh want to be. The world is busying to get people enjoy themselves in this festive period.

To morrow in the early morning we will go away from this traditional fun to Bible camp in a cool area of Kao Yai at "Phyayen boyscout camp" in Korat.

Programme has set for Bible study and evangelize to Friends, and family member who do not know the Lord yet. The theme of the camp this time round is "Lives that should go and bring forth fruits". The whole church join hands and bring friends and family along. The Lord blessed this trip from the beginning by providing bus to carry majority of the members of the church to the camp.

Romans 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
Romans 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Romans 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Romans 1:23 And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Romans 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves:
Romans 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

Their enjoyment generally ended with drinking, gambling, visiting various place the most important is they sure have few days holidays to enjoy themselves of their choices but their choices generally not get away from the world,
the works of the flesh.

Galatians 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are clearly revealed, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lustfulness,
Galatians 5:20 idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, fightings, jealousies, angers, rivalries, divisions, heresies,
Galatians 5:21 envyings, murders, drunkennesses, revelings, and things like these; of which I tell you before, as I also said before, that they who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

During we are teaching the children on the usual in the front the devil challenge us by put an adult come to open a gambling den behind where we are teaching. Many boys and girls who generally against us joined them. Some so young and under age also played that dices game. The adult surely take the opportunity to lure those children into open gambling until become norm to them. We can see that many enjoy betting in the card game rather than come to sing gospel song with us. Many children still with us anyway even we have one left we will still be there until the Lord told us to leave the village and that carnally ask the Lord for one year. That means by next April 2009 we can not see the hands of God over the place we will have to leave.

Luke 10:8 And into whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you.
Luke 10:9 And heal the sick that are in it, and say to them, The kingdom of God has come near you!
Luke 10:10 And into whatever city you enter, and they do not receive you, going out into the streets say,
Luke 10:11 Even the dust of your city which clings to us, we wipe off against you. Yet be sure of this, that the kingdom of God has come near you.

Thanks to the Lord for His protection after we prayed for His covering to our children not so long the man quited. Many of them in bad situation but would like to enjoy themselves. This is the environment that people in the area are facing, either alcoholics, gamblers or drug abusers.. ...... This children in the picture are still enjoy being being with us. They followed us to sing gospel songs to a paralized man.

Anytime we want to move from the village something will happen to show us that God is still with us all along. My mission partner told me one day that enough is enough for this village. Every one know us and know what purpose we come. He do not believe what I told him about the word of Mark 1:28 I believed that is the word from the Lord. He criticised many times of what I am doing in the village for few hours each week. He seem does not believe that prayer also the work we have to do in the ministry. He want to do what he think right to do. But I think to do right have to come from the Lord. Pray first.

Tuesday night I bring my wife to cell group. Khun Dum shared the word beautifully, and surprisingly smooth. He is such a blessing sharing of the word about "Kingdom of God."

Matthew 25:2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
Matthew 25:3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
Matthew 25:4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

This is the reflection of the building in Bangkok. Reflection is still reflection no matter how good is the mirror it will distort some how. Human being has been created in God's image but man is not God himself.

Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over all the creepers creeping on the earth.
Genesis 1:27 And God created man in His image; in the image of God He created him. He created them male and female.
