At Wang Nam Kheow on Monday 7 December 2009

At Wang Nam Kheow the weather a little bit cooler in early morning. Mist cling over villages locate near Salad-dai mountain range. They taken to visit "Village Farm" to see vineyard and scenery from tho top of village farm's plateau. We take the opportunity to visit the vineyard on the way to the WNK Church. The so-called Christmas party for people in Ra-Rerng has arranged by chief of the village in Klong Kum. and will be after lunch. We provided lunch for the villagers who come to hear the Good News.
At this season grave still green in the farm. Remind us about John 15 as we are just branches before we can bear fruit we have to remain in Him, because Jesus is the true vine. Apart from Him we can do nothing. We walked along the shade of those trees and enjoy scenery before proceed to the WNK church. I thank God for their hearts ever ready to come and support missionary in the field even they used to face crisis during last visit. They see the hand of God in their visit.
In Mark 16:20 And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs.





















Remain in Jesus and Jesus will remain in us and we can bear much fruit apart from Him we can do nothing.









VIM from PLMC joined hands joined hearts put batteries in to torch lights as gifts to people in Ra-Rerng and Klong Kum and surrounding areas as they come to hear the Good News. We also prepared gifts as lucky draw for them as well.
In Hebrews 6:10 For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints and do minister.


In the afternoon right after heavy chiken rice the party they registered and then led by A Saifah with one man show until he have to leave to prepare another place for Christmas at night in Klong Kum. A. Kanhar was asked again to take over and repeated the message of Good News for the late comers once more then reminded them over and again to those villagers about the gift of God, Jesus Christ and God's redemptive plan. Members sang Christmas songs. The team also prayed for people.

T4T at Chaiyaphume during 25-26 September 2009

We spent the night at A.Thongdee's house. The background of the photo is his house. A.Thongdee has many wonderful testimonies about how God answers his prayer and how the Lord provide to his needs. He look after 4 churches now and preaches 4 times each Sunday.







The meeting make of old aged-group and very young generation but not many working group from 20-50. We learn that the working group generally going out to Bangkok and surrounding area to work. Life style still very simple.



During worshipping in Chaiyapume I and Pastor John come out to join the worship leaders do papaya salad dance the most famous dish for Isaan people. The dish made of raw papaya, fish sause, lime, some sugar, salted crab or fermented fish. They love the dish of course with fermented fish. We have the dish next day after our dance.

We also have fish and red ant soup. Some of us that dish is the first time. After they tasted it the ants make the taste sour. The ants anf their eggs are the source of protine in every day meal.

"Lord, we don't know where you're going. So how can we know the way?"

Rainy season starts but we thank God that rain most of the time at night. Cloud formation in this season is nice sometimes heavy contrast with the white cloud with the ray of light make it so wonderful formation.

Nature make wonder everyday like love of God pour to us every day and new every morning. He is so faithful in every way. His glory shown through this formation each day.










Look at Psalm 19:1"...... The heavens declare the glory of God the sky display what His hands have made." So great and so wonderful to see varieties of many shapes and styles of the thing above us each day. They speak to us about their Creator but many have blind eyes to see such beauty from nature close to them. They look at the worldly creation instead and deceive themselves not to look and seek temporary measures . We look at worly lives instead of natural life. We like to look for paint flesh rather than natural beauty. Instant things are fast enough for us to go into and fit to our fast life style.


























Ray of the morning Sun is another thing that sometimes I can catch like this time is always encourage the hand of God behind this morning beauty.





Bible studying with few of the village children in the village on Saturday morning. There are only few children now only five left and will hand over to the PUMC new preaching point by the end of the year.
God always answer prayer evidence again to day. He is faithful. All PUMC's church worker have to follow UMC missionary to Korat since I have scheduled to go but I don't like to go there alone if I have a choice.

I turned to God and prayed asked for partner. After I finish prayed my hand phone rang. Man asked whether I am going to Nong Tamleung and drove back from Boh Win and joined me. I picked him up from his home. Not only work in Nong Tamleung but also visit New Believers in Nong Samsak on the way sending him home as well. After that we went to see Rosukol. She so talkative and want to go to church. She want to work instead of staying home alone. I am prayed for her that God will grant at His time as she desires.

Then we are ambassadors on behalf of Christ.


We left WNK Church early in the morning picked up some helper and few old folks who want to have free health checking and helpers who just have finished T4T training. T4T stands for training for trainers. PUMC's members had this training last year during August holiday from trainers from PLMC Singapore. We used the course as evangelized tool and trained them in the church in Chonburi for 3 days then allow them to practice in training a batch of new believers in the church.
We reached Klong Kum, took breakfast at WNKC's member house then proceeded to the Klong Kum school. There are students came down and meet us. I gave book of Hope to them and some sweet. They started fighting until teachers come-in to take control. We started talking with teachers and let them know reasons about the coming of the missionaries.























And all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given to us the ministry of reconciliation;whereas God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and putting the word of reconciliation in us.




The act of the mission team.
I admire their love for Christ after hard long day working they changed and take time to express the love of Christ to the people of that village.

After the silent act finish A.Saifah explained to the people about the drama and end the explanation with group confession.


During group invitation to accept Christ I tear when I see so many followed the confession of the sinners.


Then mission is accomplished. Group photo taking and expressed appreciation.
Ready to return to the base.





Helping team photo taking.














Photo taking of new generation of the church during debriefing before returned to WNK ( Wang Nam Kheow).
We praise God for giving us experiences a lady lead people to Christ up to 20 people. Some so excited and wondered that she can evangelise as well and ask us to go up to her village to help. My answere is " Pray to the Lord the owner of the harvest field and He will send them workers". This is the Acts of Christ followers.


Mark 16:20 The disciples spread the Good News everywhere. The Lord worked with them. He confirmed his word by the miraculous signs that accompanied it.
