We are God's coworkers. You are God's field. You are God's building.

Though there are all sort of problems before travel to Chaiyaphum but I counted them small. Begin with my car gave bursting sound needed to repair, car air condition pipe bursted eventually delaying to pick up Pastor John about half an hour late by miscalculated the arriving time but turned to be good I do not have to pay for the parking. After reached Rangsit church we learned further that Boonsuan and her husband had car accident a day earlier and not sure whether she in the condition fit to travel. I left all possibility to our heavenly Father because it seemed so big to handle now and reckon that He know all things better than us only thing I can do is to believe that all things work together for the good of those who love him. Only one thing just not so sure that whether "we are those whom He called according to His plan. As He say "do not worry" I leave that matter rested.

Romans 8:28 We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God-those whom he has called according to his plan.
Romans 8:29 This is true because he already knew his people and had already appointed them to have the same form as the image of his Son.

Next day is the day that a church has been added to His Kingdom and that church will be named "Go Tong Methodist Church" where people prayed for and sweated with their love for the Lord and build this place of worship with crying heart. With all the problems but it worth all of it. We are blessed people are blessed. I am longing to see how God will pour his blessings over this new Church. Many people will come, system of spreading of Gospel will soon take place, a lot of people will know the Lord through this group of believers.






We went to Chaiyaphume according to schedule but we do not expect the new makeshift shed church, new era of a new place to worship with a group of people who ready with faith to follow the Lord Jesus Christ.
We went there last year with Rev. Tay KL and his party to teach them T4T and another time when members asked us to come to pray for the place to worship. We do not want to grasp for new church but have prayed and walked asking God to give us any sign and put His agenda to our. This group of people formerly worshiped in the house called "Asra Church". We thought this church and her members want to locate their worship place some where near by. All things can be good but we do not actually know what is the insignificant part God will show that actually from Him. What He want.
One thing I believe that when we prayed with our crying heart expressed our need for a place to worship Him to honour Him with faith, I can not see any reason why should He say "no" to them. We left and scheduled to go back there again but when we arrived we heard that there is new makeshift shed on the new piece of land donated by people had been already put up to worship our Almighty God. What a joy! to see the house of God near the road with mountain background.

Boonsuan led the worship that morning. There is no music instument but we touched. Amen.



"We stayed in Chomboon" resort 14 Km. away from the new church for the night. It's on the main road between Petchboon to Chaiyaphum after the winding part. Expect to be cold but beside rain middle of the night nothing special of staying there.

Luke 8:1 After this, Jesus traveled from one city and village to another. He spread the Good News about God's kingdom. The twelve apostles were with him.
Luke 8:2 Also, some women were with him. They had been cured from evil spirits and various illnesses. These women were Mary, also called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out;

To God be the glory....

Christmas Party at WNK on 29 December 20 December 2009

Christmas in WNK church on Sunday night filled with a lot of people from various areas but mostly from Klong Kum area but many come from Korat's Suebsiri church. The more the merrier that probably the thought of the pastor-in charge that in this season of giving to announce the best gift God is God is giving the best for us, His Son.






















Back track of FIM [Family In Mission] during Christmas greeting season.

Before living Wang Nam Kheow on 21 December 2009 I took a walk to back the track we did the day before but instead i took the left turn to dirt road to catch the glimpse of Sunrise. Praise the Lord. Every day is always agreat new day. This reminded me to Psalm 19 again.

Psalm 19:6 It rises from one end of the heavens. It circles around to the other. Nothing is hidden from its heat.

Psalm 19:9 The fear of the LORD is pure. It endures forever. The decisions of the LORD are true. They are completely fair.
Psalm 19:10 They are more desirable than gold, even the finest gold. They are sweeter than honey, even the drippings from a honeycomb.
Psalm 19:11 As your servant I am warned by them. There is a great reward in following them.
Psalm 19:12 Who can notice every mistake? Forgive my hidden faults.
Psalm 19:13 Keep me from sinning. Do not let anyone gain control over me. Then I will be blameless, and I will be free from any great offense.
Psalm 19:14 May the words from my mouth and the thoughts from my heart be acceptable to you, O LORD, my rock and my defender.

Rai Krisawan's old signboard indicated time for a while that the resort existed. We had our breakfast and move out to Pah Ngam Resort down to another province.
We catched a cool air but not that cold there then turn back up to Jim Thompson farm locate at another side of PU-Luang, in Ra-Rerng sub-district.

We stop at William J Crowe so called the founder of Wang Nam Kheow church before registered church established by young pastor from Suebsiri church.

These are taken in William J Crowe's house before we go forward to Jim Thompson's agro farm.

We left the farm late and hungry but not enough to eat at the food they provide for us in the fair. We move and expect better food on the way.
Lunch very late at Si-Que. the children enjoyed their fast food. Paul and family went for noodle in the food market.
Wai coong and family arrived late that day. The program of having dinner in Wang Nam Kheow has been changed, Thank God for every thing which was not as what we plan.
Proverb 16:1 The plans of the heart belong to humans, but an answer on the tongue comes from the LORD.
Proverb 16:2 A person thinks all his ways are pure, but the LORD weighs motives.
Proverb 16:3 Entrust your efforts to the LORD, and your plans will succeed.
Proverb 16:4 The LORD has made everything for his own purpose, even wicked people for the day of trouble.

(Luke 7:1) When Jesus had finished everything he wanted to say to the people, he went to Capernaum.

"How can that be?"

The time when the team led by AB Toi went up to Chaiyapum we are busy sending MSF team back to Singapore that Saturday 12 December 2009. Sunday morning the van arrived at Boss Hotel before service started the whole team were now with us.

After service in the morning we went to new RMC in Klong-Si hosted by Pastor John Lim. He briefs this group of VIM about Klong Si long story and his dream. His heart is full of love for Thailand people. He spent so many years up and down preach and go from Thailand and Singapore. That burden he has lead him to do what he is doing now. We respect his dream
Mark 4:31 It's like a mustard seed planted in the ground. The mustard seed is one of the smallest seeds on earth. Mark 4:32 However, when planted, it comes up and becomes taller than all the garden plants. It grows such large branches that birds can nest in its shade."
The shadow of the cross is on that land right now at the moment we were there. We know that the shadow will be the sign of the thing to come to be imprinted there when Rang Sit Methodist church established there in very near future.



Proverbs 16:1 The plans of the heart belong to humans, but an answer on the tongue comes from the LORD.
Proverbs 16:2 A person thinks all his ways are pure, but the LORD weighs motives.
Next day in the morning we left RMC and with no rush up to the North Eastern province of Nakorn Rachsima. On the way we visited Pasak Cholasit Dam in Lopburi. Where there water thers will have fish if the water support their lives. There are so many fish up there.

Mark 5:1 They arrived in the territory of the Gerasenes on the other side of the Sea of Galilee.
Luke 5:1 One day Jesus was standing by the Sea of Galilee. The people crowded around him as they listened to God's word.
Luke 5:5 Simon answered, "Teacher, we worked hard all night and caught nothing. But if you say so, I'll lower the nets."
Luke 5:6 After the men had done this, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to tear.
Luke 5:7 So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. Their partners came and filled both boats until the boats nearly sank.

Luke 5:10 James and John, who were Zebedee's sons and Simon's partners, were also amazed. Jesus told Simon, "Don't be afraid. From now on you will catch people instead of fish."
Luke 5:11 Simon and his partners brought the boats to shore, left everything, and followed Jesus

There are many fish in the water Mr.Tan took initiative to feed them with fish food. Many then enjoy feeding fish until forget our lunch. We went back to the same track to Wang Nam Kheow. God is always with us " with his provision, protection and so many enjoyable thing forus during our walkwith Him in this world. This is the same route but He gave us new itinerary just pop up place of interests different than the previous just a few days ago. With God we have many things to enjoy each day with Him. This new day just different time with few hours to spare we put this off-track in Muak Lek where we have lunch there. The name of the Lord mentioed there to the owner of the restaurant.

We have dinner that day at Im-Sook restaurant. One of the order is "Tom yam Pla Buek" or Tom Yam big catch fish. Then we check-in Rai Krisawan and to have. I thank God for the changing of the itinerary from going up to Wang Nam Kheow right after service on Sunday but moved to Monday instead. We have a good trip up with different itinerary. Praise the Lord.
Breakfast in Rai Krisawan is good. I came back in the morning from WNK church to join them.

The crowd of tourist during the King birthday was over. Wang Nam Kheow retains its sharm of good view and fresh air but they missed the cool air of the season we expected to have. Praise the Lord we have quite a good visit to Klong Kum.

We went to pick up K.Bang Orn and Maew to join us to visit Klong Kum but before going there we visited Village Farm on the way.
We also visit Yai Bai that morning when a lady accepted Christ near yai Bai's cottage. Eight new believers added to the kingdom of God that day during our visit. Praise God.

Oit is the host not only prepared lunch for us but come along and visit new believers and those people in Pu-Luang, klong Somboon, Ra-Rerng. and Klong Kum.
We arrived Klong Kum quite late in the afternoon and have to carried on because some request to pray for a lady who has touched by God few days earlier at the day that has been disturbed and unable to sleep for many night. She confessed her sin and invite the Lord Jesus Christ to become her Lord and Saviour and prayed for her. Unknowlingly and forgotten what I prayed for but the Lord is faithful and just always keep His promises healed her.

We desired to call off that day almost dark and go back to Wang Nam Kheow. We reach Wang Nam Kheow quite late and end that day with steam boat dinner at Krua Khun Toi restaurant. We teased AB. Toi whether he is the owner with out our knowing. I know that they were so tired of working for long hours.Thanks God for so their so much energy left for the next day's devotion in early morning even not so cool but quite comfortable.

At Rai Kisawan we can see 50 cm. x500cm. solid piece wood as a sign board support the name of the farm stay. Overlooking from where they stayed is a drop down to the pond of deep colour below. By the side of those cut lawn some of the member waited for the sun to come up and the time for group devotion. Thanks God for His creations.

........... The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky displays what his hands have made.

Psalm 19:2 One day tells a story to the next. One night shares knowledge with the next Psalm 19:3 without talking, without words, without their voices being heard.
Psalm 19:4 Yet, their sound has gone out into the entire world, their message to the ends of the earth. He has set up a tent in the heavens for the sun,
Psalm 19:5 which comes out of its chamber like a bridegroom. Like a champion, it is eager to run its course.


Luke 4:42 In the morning he went to a place where he could be alone. The crowds searched for him. When they came to him, they tried to keep him from leaving.
Luke 4:43 But he said to them, "I have to tell the Good News about the kingdom of God in other cities also. That's what I was sent to do."
We left WNK the next day stop all the way at Pa Ngam then staight to Hua Kun Jae for late lunch.

Luke 4:4 Jesus answered him, "Scripture says, 'A person cannot live on bread alone.'"

We were also visit Rosukol a living testimony to the glory of God. We visited her as one of our family where the name of God has save her life.












This was marketting for dry stuff for those love one at home.




Luke 6:1 Once, on a day of worship, Jesus was walking through some grainfields. His disciples were picking the heads of grain, removing the husks, and eating the grain.
Luke 6:2
Some of the Pharisees asked, "Why are your disciples doing something that is not right to do on the day of worship?"









At the check out line. There are the first one in line to check-in. That was the day to send them out and wait for a new group to come-in. My wife came in at 3.35pm. in the afternoon, and Paul's wife will arrive about 8.00pm. at night.


John 3:8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you don't know where the wind comes from or where it's going.

Praise God for this partnership. And I believe that the Scripture is always right and get result because He is the real God.

Hebrews 6:10 God is fair. He won't forget what you've done or the love you've shown for him. You helped his holy people, and you continue to help them.
