When we are in Phuket after ILI conference.

Preaching in Phra Nives Kok Kloi, Pang Nga after visiting Tsunami ground in Kao Lak.
Most of the attendants are Mien mar who came to spend their lives in Phuket. Reason you can see is when Dr. Lian Arn preached in Phra Nives Kok Kloi, Pang Nga on Sunday. They have to translate from English to Thai then from Thai to Burmese. Wonderful setting God up for His people. Many of them come to Christ with fully hope for their future and that remind me of 2Cointhians 5:7 Indeed, our lives are guided by faith, not by sight.

If you look at the translator you can see a lady who is going to Turkey to mary with a young Turk there. Pray that she will have a blessed life there and be able to spread the gospel as well. Another translator is Burmese who will become a Pastor for Burmese in Phuket. He and his wife equipped with wonderful gift of music and his wife is a worship leader.

The lady is Ajarn Jum or Pastor Chanakarn who burden with the love of Christ to people of all nations. She is a coordinator for ILI in the South. Phra Nives grown up very fast in many province in the South. She has beautiful ministry by getting children of Burmese's to come to school and equip them with necessary knowledge and knowledge of God from the Bible. We are expecting that we can see those Burmese s will go back to spread the good news to their people and point them to Christ and have them safe, their salvation.

On the way back we pick up Thong Kool's daughter from Tab Scar back to Wang Nam Kheow and offer her the continuation to further study. Anyway she return to Tab Scar after a week with her father in Wang Nam Kheow.

11- 15 June in Wang Nam Kheow with Purpose.

William Tan and his family, Nancy and Michelle, arrived at Suwanabhumee airport on 11 June evening same flight with P. John the supply pastor from PLMC. to Rangsit. Frequented flier came out first and teasing me about my waistline that "I do not have to look at your face but the waistline,I can find you." When William come out instead of go for dinner together we go separate way. P.John goes to Rangsit we go opposite to Chonburi. Our dinner is "Kuay Jub" Chonburi style. just opposite the hotel they stayed.
Next day we moved up to Wang Nam Kheow using route 304 all the way. With break in between we took our time to meet people.

We stop at Pa Ngarm overlooking the panoramic view of Pa Keb-tawan across the big valley.











We reached Krisawan late in the afternoon. Instead of going around looking for food we have sumptuous lunch there.
We stray away from the route we suppose to go to visit village farm and visit house church at Pai Ngarm.

Dinner at Im-Sook and look at sunset.
Next day, Sunday. we attended the service at the house church.
Monday, June 14, was their wedding anniversary. We had their wedding anniversary and Nancy's birthday celebration there. Members of the preaching point came and celebrate thuis joyous moment with them. We also went to visit Baan Hauy Nam Khem school to look and see potential for doing mission there.

Travel up to Chaiyaphume and Wang Nam Kheow during 27-30 May 2010

Worship at the house church on Friday night at William's house. Jennifer led the worship back up chorus and musicians are from First United Methodist Chonburi, our Tuesday cell group. Part of their ministry.

Fellowship diner after evening service at William's house with home cook meal, sumptuous!. Almost 21.00 we have to say good bye due to curfew late of the night and prepare for another service on the next day.

When we woke up in the morning we were in the cloud can not see more than 50 meters away. The weather outside so cool. I love this God and the way He surprises us all the time.


In the morning at Krisawan when we woke up in the morning wen were covered with the mist. Reminded me of Old Testament when Moses lead Israel out of Egypt. Led by pillar of fire, and cloud.


Morning worship before Baptism service. We invited many none-believers from Bang-Orn's neighbour to join us including Mr. Peer and his sister-in-law who in later part during lunch we can be able to tell her the whole Gospel.
We prayed for those who are going to baptism. Before go in to the water.
Hallelujah, the new life began. Those who baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.

After baptism children can not wait to go in to the pool. They were well behave in the restaurant during lunch. They were co-operative during afternoon worship at the house church in Pai Ngarm.

Before the people come to pick up and play those music instrument meant nothing. The players mean everything to the instrument. They lie in order awaiting the musicians to come and pick them up. Music in the worship will have no meaning until the congregation lift their hearts to worship the Lord in spirit and in truth. We are lying waste before we know the Lord. Now we do not feel wasted any more at least we can make some noise people can hear. The Lord is the best musician and he can make us sound beautifully, no matter what type of instrument we are. Better be glad that the rotten body can be used as His vessel. The vessel of the One who creates this universe.
Worship in Rangsit Methodist Church on 30 May after returned from Wang Nam Kheow........Baptism service...the day earlier.
Aurora on the tip of the dark cloud back up by the light appeared few of the evening after come back from the ministry.... . 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.
