"Ask, and you will receive. Search, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened for you...."

We reached this place "Im Sook"[Eat until full and happy] 2.00 am. the next morning. We left last stop at Korat to fill up the patrol early in the morning then headed for the place we had booked for the night to sleep. We thank God for the arrangement that we have given permission to come in any time at night and go straight into the building, all bed rooms are completed with mattresses. After we left Korat, it has been drizzling all the while. The air is still fresh in that area even more and more people moving in there. They claimed that the area has ozone level higher than the rest of the world 7%. With that type of fresh air, even we went to bed late and get up early and still full of energy to face the schedule we have for that day. Rev.Koh was talking about garden of Eden the night before. We felt like we are in the garden.

Morning air is always fresh up at that place we took deep breaths and filled up our lungs.

Members of RMC who follow us as host at Chaiyaphume enjoy their stay at the resort, sitting under the trees and took photos. After a while they learned that there are plenty of berries and fruits trees around the area. They took a tour and enjoyed the place while waiting for breakfast to be served. We have good shower that morning and expected the hot weather at Srakeow later.

At the top of the hill where we are going to take breakfast.

Overlooking the valley where fruits and vegetable are grown at the back drop of the hill of Kao Yai forest reserved. We thank God for this place during recce for MSF's trip in November 2007.

Matthew 7:7 "Ask, and you will receive. Search, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened for you.
Matthew 7:8 Everyone who asks will receive. The one who searches will find, and for the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
Matthew 7:9 "If your child asks you for bread, would any of you give him a stone?
Matthew 7:10 Or if your child asks for a fish, would you give him a snake?
Matthew 7:11 Even though you're evil, you know how to give good gifts to your children. So how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask him?
Matthew 7:12 "Always do for other people everything you want them to do for you. That is the meaning of Moses' Teachings and the Prophets........
After sumptuous breakfast we left Wang Nam Keow to Srakeow. We by pass Wang Nam Keaw church due to time constraint.
I would like to end up this blog with the John chapter 4:32 onwards and allow the feeling of our Lord at that time soak in your spirit when He taught His disciples at Sycha, Samaria as He arrived at a city in Samaria called Sychar. Sychar was near the piece of land that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.
John 4:32 Jesus told them, "I have food to eat that you don't know about."
John 4:33 The disciples asked each other, "Did someone bring him something to eat?"
John 4:34 Jesus told them, "My food is to do what the one who sent me wants me to do and to finish the work he has given me.
John 4:35 "Don't you say, 'In four more months the harvest will be here'? I'm telling you to look and see that the fields are ready to be harvested.
John 4:36 The person who harvests the crop is already getting paid. He is gathering grain for eternal life. So the person who plants the grain and the person who harvests it are happy together.
John 4:37 In this respect the saying is true: 'One person plants, and another person harvests.'
John 4:38 I have sent you to harvest a crop you have not worked for. Other people have done the hard work, and you have followed them in their work."

Then he said to them, "As you go into all the world, proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.

In front of the Church rural road lead our eyes to mountains far off. Actually we are surround by mountains we are now at the church on the hill full of boulders of rocks. Rev. Peter Koh was invited by the pastor of that local church to preach after he started off with greeting from PLMC Singapore then asked his wife Jenny Koh to share. Simple message but powerful has impact to those long waiting people. Some of them come as far as 100 km. for this meeting, some even tack along pre-believers as well. After that short message he gave opportunity for those non-believers to come to accept Christ to be their Lord and Saviour. At that altar called one come out to accepted Christ to be her Lord, and Savior.









After this afternoon session the church programme to Baptise two new believers. Pastor have to change as he have to go down to to the lotus brook. Actually it is a brook but full of lotus mile away to the main stream further, until we can not see much surface of the water.
There are 2 ladies to be Baptised.
1. Mrs. Nang Tapajam.
2. Mrs. Sanit Jongruamkarng.
3. Mrs. Saijai Kownonkok. the new believer who want to be baptised at this time.
During Rev.Peter Koh's explanations of what is the baptism means to our Christians' lives another 2 almost teen girls as well want to be Baptised. Their simple faith and they were Baptised.









Mark 16:15 Then he said to them, "As you go into all the world, proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.
Mark 16:16 The one who believes and is baptized will be saved, but the one who doesn't believe will be condemned.
Mark16:17 "These are the signs that will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues;
Mark16:18 they will pick up snakes in their hands; even if they drink any deadly poison it will not hurt them; and they will place their hands on the sick, and they will recover."

Many sick people waited for healing session on a boulder of rock over looking the Baptism pool. Miracle did happen as Scripture said.

Mark 11:22 Jesus said to them, "Have faith in God!
Mark 11:23 Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,' if he doesn't doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.
Mark 11:24 That is why I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it and it will be yours.

After healing session by the Baptism pool was over we returned to the sanctuary having dinner with peoples. Some have to leave earlier come to say good bye due to their houses too far and many have to follow those transport back.

The pig is the Pastor's pet and weigh more than 100 kg. Some like new generation of Singaporean has never seen such a big hog like that before. This hog like to welcome visitors and love to see the car.
This photo has taken to show how tame the hog is.

Night session has started right after diner. Thanks God for His presence and His glory fall at that place and all peoples touched including non-believers. Anyway Salvation belongs to our God and for those people we will pray for His time, His mercy and grace.

We left Sub-Chareon village 21.+ and reach Wang Nam Keow after 2.00 am. the next morning.

...still others to be pastors and teachers,

And it is he who gifted some to be apostles, others to be prophets, others to be evangelists, and still others to be pastors and teachers, to perfect the saints, to do the work of ministry, and to build up the body of Christ until all of us are united in the faith and in the full knowledge of God's Son, and until we attain mature adulthood and the full standard of development in Christ.
Then we will no longer be little children, tossed like waves and blown about by every wind of doctrine, by people's trickery, or by clever strategies that would lead us astray.
Instead, by speaking the truth in love, we will grow up completely into the one who is the head, that is, into Christ, in whom the whole body is united and held together by every ligament with which it is supplied. As each individual part does its job, the body's growth is promoted so that it builds itself up in love.

The week before 7th August 2008 on Saturday we still went to Ban Boh, Nong Tamleung as usual to get children sing gospel song and give lunch to them. Routine that in my thinking will think that those activities will lead us no where but we do not know what in God's heart. I can say that lately my devotion in the morning take even longer time but seem that God has eluded me. He still answerwd our prayers and still bless us in many ways but there is no peace deep down in my heart there is no satisfaction of those results during this period. I prayed asking God if He said something about any direction in the ministry and with my ignorance or anything else caused me and make me UNABLE TO HEAR HIM spoken. I always asked Him to repeat again and again until I can hear Him clearly and with that clarity I can move on with Him. Many times those voices caused me to doubt whether works I am doing in the village was not from Him from the beginning even when I thought that it shoud be His voice many times I refused to take step of faith to move but He is always faithful and understand me best, better than my own self.

The verse in Mark 1:38 " It is my Lord Jesus said quoted " He (Jesus) said to them (His disciples), "Let's go to the neighboring towns so that I can preach there, too. For that is why I came out here." I have no reason to doubt, haven't I?. I have seen new believers increased every months even only a few. I am a litlle greedy about those increment and play with my own imagination instead of follow Him what God does not asking where is the next. He doesn't say go yet. I do not have new verse from the master yet.

New week begin with excitement when Brother Paul Low, and Pastor John Lim confirmed of our PIC visiting. Programme has set, van has been booked, meetings with many concerned parties for some of his teaching programme on later date made.

Then the date arrived I left Chon Buri by van to the Airport in the afternoon of 7th August and enjoy my unable to rest hours in the Airport by trying to read the Bible but I can confirm that my mind is out unable to concentrat. Eventhough God still spoken to me through His word.
Next morning we left RMC early as about 8 o'clock travelled up North through Pak Chong, Sraburi by turning left to Chaiyaphum. Scenery of central plain terrain has changed to have widing road and mountaineer background beatifully appeared to compensade our long jouney to unfamiliar road. We suppose to reach that place just after lunch from our estimated.

But from unfamiliar road and direction we reached the destination about two hours late but people patiently waited for us. As soon as we arrived lunch table was set up outdoor infront of the Church. "Christachark Sup-Chareon" is the name of the neighborhood church, our destination to do the work of God with Him. We have those simple lunch with joyful heart. Simple but full of love in it. I will tell you more about it after lunch.

"What must we do, to be doing the works of God?"

Joh 6:29 Jesus answered them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent."

We have just believe in Him whom he has sent and that become the work of God. It is that so simple but not easy to do. God is Spirit unable to see and touch by our flesh but only from the work He has done. I was lost touch on this blog since Tanat went back. Tanat spent almost a month in the field with me and I learned from him a lot to be patient, and tolerate many things that happened to him on site. To God be the glory. He enable to carry it through that period even some of the boy hit him at the part. Heget along with children in Nong Tamleung fine.

John 6:35 Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.
John 6:36 But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe.
John 6:37 All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out.
John 6:38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me.
John 6:39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day.
John 6:40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day."

I left the blog for a long whileUntil before going to Tuesday cell meeting my wife called me to open my mail to see email from Wai Choong and Le-Peng.

I copy all and put it here about their thought.

They started about their thought of me this morning (5 August) and would like to share this poem by Amy Carmichael with me. It is also Wai Choong and her prayer for me. Their wish me to continue to be God's fuel, burning bright for Him.

Make Me Thy Fuel (Amy Carmichael)

From prayer that asks that I may be Sheltered from winds that beat on Thee,

From fearing when I should aspire, From faltering when I should climb higher,

From silken self, O Captain, free Thy soldier who would follow Thee.

From subtle love of softening things,

From easy choices, weakenings, (Not thus are spirits fortified, Not this way went the crucified) From all that dims Thy Calvary, O Lamb of God, deliver me.

Give me the love that leads the way,

The faith that nothing can dismay,

The hope no disappointments tire,

The passion that will burn like fire;

Let me not sink to be a clod: Make me Thy fuel, Flame of God.

It was so wonderful compose by Amy, and wonderfully blessed me.
