And whom he predestinated, them he also called.

That morning we drove to Baan Nern to gather with Man to visit Loong Jamnong and Pah Jongkol as we normally do.
Man read ACTS chapter 3 for L. Jamnong and prayed for the Lord to straighten his his faith. Then we moved to K.Pranee's place. Two girls and a boy joy us at the house at Baan Nern but disappeared when church party arrived. There were only 4 children as usual, three girls and a boy, Ton. Ton is different to others because his grand mother always remind him to join us. His gran mother is in the picture used to go to church. She prayed for reading glasses for a long time. For a while she lost her faith in our living God and stopped going to church. We used to encourage her to go but she has always give us accuses. One day when we started giving away the reading glasses she returned and told us about why she has been aways quite a while. We thank God for his faithfulness in answering our prayer.
We took notice of children at Baan Boh that they shy to mix with church's children. Anytime when we have more children from the Church less children will come until sometime. Prayer has the most effect I could see so far. Anytime we pray many turned up. We have new girl "Kwang" who has a long sad story until her family disowned her. She came along to join us as well. Nang is taking care of her and also brought 5 others church's youth along as well.
After finish grouping at Nong Tamlueng we left Baan Boh Nong Tamlueng in the afternoon go to Man's house to pick up my car. A. Damrong also come along to do house to house evangelise.
We started at Rosukol place trying to raise up a cell group there but result not so promising due to working hours of those people in that village. There 4 people in that area after Rosukol left and stay with her husband in Boh Tong. Even the dark cloud and was rained started at other side over that reservoir. We left the place and stopped at grocery store on the way back. Thanks God for the opportunity that only few disturbances along the way until we told her all about the gospel. Then she started to be to busy to talked to us. We thank God and paid up and moved out. It's 4.00 pm. now and just about time to visit few more church's member on the way. A couple are waiting for us at 4.30 we started sang songs. Their house face West the Sun shone over us. Even it's almost 5 but the Sun so bright until I have to ask the Lord to shad us up. Praise the Lord He provided a big cloud shaded the whole area until Sunset. As we sharing gospel of John chapter 1 about "He was beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life and the life was the life of men."

We do not realise in the beginning that when we shared the news there was many ears also listened to us. By grace of God after we finished sharing we were told that her husband lay paralyze on bed. We asked permission to go to see him. W shared once more about the story of God become Son of Man and why He had to come. What we do what we think about all the reasons of causes and effects not always true because we have enemy in this world who causes all bad results. God so loved the world this way and He gave His only Son so that everyone who believes in Him will not die but will have eternal life.
We were telling her story of God and how originally was made and why Lord Jesus have to come to save us then tell her about power and authority of our Lord Jesus Christ and also of believers.

Man helped lead her sinner prayer and invite the Lord to come to
her life. We asked her to take authority of new believer pray for
her husband. We then saw he shed his tear twice. The paralyse
We prayed along with her and committed both of them in the hand of God and give them word of God tell her how to start to read the Bible. Then we left. When I read Romans chapter 8 I have no doubt that "And whom he predestinated, them he also called."
Tuesday cell has moved to another level where everyone can sit on the chairs now. The cell has moved from slum by the canal to the mansion. At that time we all have to sit on the floor. few weeks ago Jennifer renovate the garage to become dinning room and the meeting will hold there.
First United Methodist church has their own system of doing cell group from leader's proposal then put a pastor to be in charge over the cell now. FUMC has their own way of doing cell group system, their own way of evangelise. Mui as a leader of the church will brief all cell leader about what all cells have to share on Sunday's afternoon. Then all the cells to follow the brief outline in the meeting under the control of a pastor-in-charge of the cell from the church.
Dr.Wises also hold the meeting with all pastors on Tuesday morning in his house about the teaching. He called that " to check their faith and what they believe".
