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.
