Senior Director of the International Leadership Institute from California, USA, arrived earlier onTuesday 20th January 2009 while we still search for something when the rigional conference organiser left them since their meeting in August last year in Sriracha. Next morning before we started our jouney to Bangkok, Singapore team arrived, followed by a Team from Wang Nam kheow Korat. Registration and Orientation from 12.00-2.00pm. After registration Pastor John Lim started with ILI Vision and Core Values. We have planned but this conference come out differently. We talked and worked very hard toward what men said but what come out is so good, better than we expected.

That is the work of God, his provision of what we should follow.
Proverbs 16:9 A man's heart plans his way, but Jehovah directs his steps.
We have 5 pastors from various places and many church's leaders many are in their own ministry, two from Laos instead of 13 as we expected. There are 5 zones together, North Isaan zone
(Chaiyapumee), central Isaan zone (Wang Nam Kheow), Laos zone, East Zone(Chonburi, Pattaya), Southern zone (Pukhet) joined hand and take turm to carry on regional conference. They plan to have them with in this 90 days.

Eight Core values with 24 lessons in 6 days. We thank God for his presence and also attitude of those partcipants. We prayed that with the proper follow up this conference will be another tool to spread the Gospel to churches in Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia effectively.


Facilities are good participants mixed together very well. During breaks thery talked, early morning they praise the Lord in their room. We worship the Lord together before the conference started each day and have wonderful time together. So wonderful to learn together both who teaches and thos participants. The conference finished on the first day of Chinese New year, 26 January 2009 about 3.00pm. everyone packed and ready to go home but not before the "Finishing Well lesson" and graduation Service giving away certificates and light up ILI vision to everyone hearts.

I arrived Singapore just before midnight. So happy to see my wife and two of our sons at the airport. Due to cercumstances I have been away from the family quite long.

Notice how the flowers grow in the field.

1Peter 1:24 "All people are like grass, and all their beauty is like a flower of the field. The grass dries up and the flower drops off,
1Peter 1:25 but the word of the Lord lasts forever." This word is the Good News that was told to you.
We started the day by talking to some of the children who came early. I went there prayerfully with a bit trembling because of the played back of the picture what has happened last week when a man attacked me personally by vulgar words and spit to the ground few times and kicked our two chairs on tyhe way back to release his anger. Remember a verse in Acts 9:4 ....... a voice say to him, "Saul! Saul! Why are you persecuting me?"
Thanks God for the incident, the revelation of the Lord gave the honour to me when he attacked only me as a leader who bring the team there to do God's work. The man no matter how he treated me is also a child of God but under bondage of wrong spirits in the area. This is not the first time and will not be the last time when we keeping into their area and freed people who are under their bondage's. I thank God for giving me many incidents show that we are in His protection. God also told us that persecution is norm to Christians.
He is our shepherd. Worst scenery I can think off is the enemy can only kill this body but unabble kill my soul.

Psalm 23:6 Certainly, goodness and mercy will stay close to me all the days of my life, and I will remain in the LORD'S house for days without end.

......so that at the name of Jesus everyone in heaven, on earth, and in the world below will kneel and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:10-11
And this is the beginning of that Psalm.

Psalm 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd. I am never in need.
Psalm 23:2 He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside peaceful waters.
Psalm 23:3 He renews my soul. He guides me along the paths of righteousness for the sake of his name.
Psalm 23:4 Even though I walk through the dark valley of death, because you are with me, I fear no harm. Your rod and your staff give me courage. A psalm by David.











We enjoyed the morning session when many volunteers turned up. Adult of new believers also joined us there and we thanks God when we saw His provisioned hand of many volunteers came in different ways to do God's work. Some came late so someone have to send him there. K.Srinaul sat with one them to explain what we shared to the chikldren. I shared another storey about our Lord provision when He met the needs of a large crowd with nothing to eat. We have some Bible game befor lunch time.
We do not want to challenge the angry man by playing on the passage near his house again but move the whole group by carrying the chairs to the rice field near-by and play there. The whole group moved there. Jun, Numpt's son has never play with mud before went straight to muddy ground. He had to be washed up. The lady new believer woke up and help us to clean the area filling holes on the ground with some soil. Children enjoyed games that after lunch freely. Many children peeked at us but not come to join us. We do not know the real reason but similar thing happened to us before, repeatedly again.

We prayed for this piece of land where children played. Thi is a piece of land in the area where the title deed can be transferred. I used to think about ministry project so big at the beginning to have old folk home and seminar building with rooms for guests and pastor who look after the place. At the beginning pastor can start with two fishing pond where they can get the people to come and help and earn some money from them. That time the land still cost so much but we do not really worry because if the Lord open this door nobody can come to shut in anyway. I have never doubted His ability to provide and do not make any plan for it if it comes it will. The work is His wotk I will see when the time come. I am honoured to be used by Him. I am not even worthy and was a big failure before I became Christian but He gives me that opportunity. The opportunity to serve Him. I am honoured. Big thanks to you my 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, says: Revelation 3:7

We will wait and see in His time he will meet the needs of His people. Believe with us and be patient.

Pray to get results.

Examine yourselves to see whether you are still in the Christian faith. Test yourselves! Don't you recognize that you are people in whom Jesus Christ lives? Could it be that you're failing the test?

I hope that you will realize that we haven't failed the test. 2 Corinthians 13:5-6

A. Pray that we, our mission team, enable to pass the test of commitment to our Lord and Saviour by rely on the Scriptures as facts to lead our actions. Even we fail; we still find hope and strength and depend on God.
B. In each circumstance, even how bad, and how difficult it looks remain our faith in God and never forget who are we belongs to, and whom we serve. With Christ and his presence we can smile at every circumstance.
C. Pray that we enable to detect the work of the enemy and able to recognize well enough when depressions come from the work of our flesh like expecting loyalty to self rather than to God alone. There are dangers to express our heart desire and demand loyalty of people to individual.
We are just God co-workers and honored to work with him to recognize his leadership, his direction at all times.
Lord Jesus had come to lead men home to God by adopt the method of patient, sacrificial love.
D. Pray that preaching point can be established in Baan Boh area so that the works can be gathered and reduced to few tasks. I believe that provision of fund and of pastoral care for a poor rural area of Baan Boh will be available with the time that good news and the name of Jesus Christ will be established there. We expected at this time to start small unless the Lord provides otherwise. We expected to rebuild a new believer’s house and use downstairs to be a gathering place. Area to be covered is 100 square meter for the period of 5 years lease.
E. Pray for these people that faith in God after they confess with their mouth will remain and will come to join us when Nong Tamlueng’s preaching point ready. There are few reasons we can see are as follows.
There is no church near by this area. People status is poor in farmland working generally in factories and general laborers
Their working hours in the factory at night and sleep in day time not allow them to go to.
F. Pray that the Lord will prepare hearts of the people to receive good news through our team.

People can change from time to time because we are just human, the old men who in nature are in sins for so many year, contrary to character of God. God is eternal beside God also is love so His love also eternal for us.


Hebrews 12:26 When God spoke to your ancestors, his voice shook the earth. But now he has promised, "Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the sky."


Hebrews 12:27 The words once more show clearly that God will change what he has made. These are the things that can be shaken. Then only the things that cannot be shaken will remain.

First day of year 2009 in the village

The first day we started to go to the village is also world's children day. God loves the children only evil and wicked people do not want to see children. Lord Jesus said "Whoever doesn't gather with me scatters".

First m\lunch provided for this year for children who did not go out to celebrate children day somewhere else. K. Pranee cooked the way children in Ban Boh like to day. Woderful meal. A man also come and accepted Christ with a very simple question " Is that true that your wife said you want to accept Christ". He went home and come back Naang lead him sinner prayer. We gave him a Gideon's New Testament Bible and promised to see him next week to start follow up course.

New Year 2009 You will be blessed

Sunset on 2008 year evening with the undergrowth infront of the picture. Weather grow cold a bit during this year and will be colder when New Year arrived.

Blessed is the person who does not follow the advice of wicked people, take the path of sinners, or join the company of mockers.
Rather, he delights in the teachings of the LORD and reflects on his teachings day and night. He is like a tree planted beside streams- a tree that produces fruit in season and whose leaves do not wither. He succeeds in everything he does........ Psalm 1:1-3

I spent New Year recieving and sending New Year greeting to many but beside that there is a joy in my heart to start new year differently. K.Dum told me after having steak Laos together on 16 December 2006 and asked me to stop picking him up for lunch and he will stop doing ministry in Nong Tamleung. This was clear signal that God will provide someone else or doing another way different to do the work in Nong Tamleung. I used to pray for another field and this incident probably He prepare me to move to another

place.

On 2nd January Rev. Tay and team arrived in the morning. Man came to pick me up exactly the time then go to pick Numt up.

We went to Nong Tamleung, to Hua Kunjae and visit Rosukol on the way back. Send Rev. Tay home to rest and took the rest of the party to Bang Sean to walk on the beach and get their feet wet. The beach is crowded with people from many places young and old. We came back in time but eventually decided to skip dinner but go straight to the church earlier at 6.00 O'clock to meet acquaintant members of the church . The turn up is expected because it was a long holidays. Rev. Tay preached as part of his evangelise program. Thanks God for people who stayed and blessed by the message. A young man came out in respond to the alter call ed to invite Christ into his life.

On the 3rd. January Rev. Tay tay taught T4T and follow up what we have learned in August last year. This is why we need our passion to spread the gospel.


Heaven is so real and hell also real. Exactly like in the Bible said:



Revelation 20:2 He overpowered the serpent, that ancient snake, named Devil and Satan. The angel chained up the serpent for 1,000 years.
Revelation 20:3 He threw it into the bottomless pit. The angel shut and sealed the pit over the serpent to keep it from deceiving the nations anymore until the 1,000 years were over.



After preaching on Sunday we headed for Ragsit on the way to the Church we stop at Future park to shop and dinner. We chosed to have MK Suki there. Then went to the RM Church to stay overnight. Numt and Man left to Chonburi.

This trip started with morning devotion then breakfast, at 9+ something the C2C lesson started. Encouraging numbers of attendances. First day end with street evagelise. God is faithful.

I partner with Bro. Paul. For me Rangsit is a new and stranger place. When we started I dare not think about result but just obedient and united with my partner what ever he say. We enable to talk about C2C to the end but before asking her to accept Christ people started their order until the lady have to accuse to work. Thank God for His answer my prayer.

John 6:29 Jesus replied to them, "God wants to do something for you so that you believe in the one whom he has sent."

We end up with Holy Communion and commitment to the Lord on 6th. January. Praise the Lord.
I will highly praise you, my God, the king. I will bless your name forever and ever.
Psalm 145:2 I will bless you every day. I will praise your name forever and ever.
Psalm 145:3 The LORD is great, and he should be highly praised. His greatness is unsearchable.
Psalm 145:4 One generation will praise your deeds to the next. Each generation will talk about your mighty acts.
Psalm 145:5 I will think about the glorious honor of your majesty and the miraculous things you have done.
Psalm 145:6 People will talk about the power of your terrifying deeds, and I will tell about your greatness.
On 7 January 2009. After morning devotion and debrief we were ready to go to visit the new premise of Rangsit Methodist Church at Klong 4. We stand on the grond at the edge of the pond where the crematorium will be built.
Staight from here to the airport to check in.

I left the airport by taking Muang Pattaya bus and after prayerfully God provided a lady on the bus for me to introduce Lord Jesus and one more on the road. The problem of follow up still unsolved but I will take all opportunity to tell people about our Lord just for the sake of the love of God to us.

Luke 11:9 "So I tell you to ask, and you will receive. Search, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened for you.
Luke 11:10 Everyone who asks will receive. The one who searches will find, and for the person who knocks, the door will be opened.
Luke 11:11 "If your child asks you, his father, for a fish, would you give him a snake instead?
Luke 11:12 Or if your child asks you for an egg, would you give him a scorpion?

During Christmas greeting season and new year.

To Chaiyabumi to teach a part of authority of the believer. There are many churches come to join to gether. A cow has offered for the such a big party. People came in 3 parts. The near-by come , help and stay through out.

The further away came in the afternoon and went back after healing session finished.

The near-by none believers come in for Christmas gift. Boonsuan has led so many people in her family to come to Christ.

Late night from Chaiyabhumi after ballotting started we split into two groups. One follows Pastor John and team to Srakeow. They will stay overnight in Wang Nam Keow at Im-Sook resort. It is on the hill with wonderful view, food, especially salmon sausage for breakfast. I thank God for this wonderful place he allow us to stay for the passed few years with quiet a simple life style. It is a source of relaxing with nature His creation on earth. Air is fresh and temperature is cool, food is good. price is cheap. Many of us turn to bird when they see the price. Cheap, cheap... but I heard chip, chip.

From Chaiyaphume late we reached RMC about 2.00 o'clock in the morning. Thank be to our Driver Mr.Harn Asadong of such a skill and saftety we have from the Lord. With his good hearth he drive around Ransit area to send many of them home and reach the church second last to park the van. He went home the last by taxi.

I 've got up in the morning and leave for Chonburi to the minitry place Nong Tam Leung. As I drive I think " I will be alone to day but this work is not mine but your. I am honoured to become your vessel you can use". As I stop for breakfast at rest area Man called and asked whether we have anything at the village. I say yes and tell him. He taught the adults believers I tell the story to the children. Not so long I have to arrange the stage to put up.

K.Pranee, even she is a new believers, was helping us to arrange all things. Stage erected then Nang and her husband Janya come to fix decoration to the back stage. Job for today done. I thought in my heart that God is so good to honour and allow me to carry on his works in this village. Half way done but that just enough and leave final touch until next day.
God's word says in 1Peter 5:7 Turn all your anxiety over to God because he cares for you.

Sunday 17 December I went to worship as usual what apeace in my heart that no matter what this party will be please the Lord and His people. Many people in FUMC worked so hard and the Lord has provides so many things so many people to come to help, Nang take her gift to train Nong Tam Leung's children to act on stage, Drama team responsible for drama, worship team practiced songs and bring down musical equipments to site etc. Thank God for preparing their heart. His message of God's love will go through to people. The party is over as I set my mind earlier no matter what happened I will accept any result but the result come out very good in my eye. More than I can say.

1Peter 5:6 Be humbled by God's power so that when the right time comes he will honor you.

Another Christmas party to attend in Ao Udom Church
