Reunion on Christmas eve













From Singapore with love of God as a follow up team,






Patrick, Aaron and Paul from Singapore arrived on 16 December at Suwanabhume airport then take a short Journey to Chon Buri.
We wanted to give them a surprise seafood at a well known place but we changed our mind to go to a shorter drive one.
This first day don't take much of traveling but it will take at least 1500 km. from Singapore before they can rest of the first day. Next day we woke up early have our devotion then take a slow drive to Sra Keow but we knew that we will reach too early we then strayed out of the route to buy blanket for Patrick at Aranyapradet, Thai and Cambodia border line. Then looking for Vietnam food which is quite famous in the area.

























From Sra Keow three of them have to go to Ransit prepare for early morning trip to Chaiyabume with about 5 hours driving up North to central Isaan border to Petchaboon of the Northern provinces area. P.John arranged to take all of them back to Rangsit Methodist Church because I have to attend Christmas event at Pai Ngarm house church in Wang Nam Kheow. I left Sra Keow and parked my self at one of motel near-by Sook Chareon village because I am not comfortable and not prepared to drive up to
Wang Nam Kheow at night. After Chrismas event and convey the message of the next day I dove down to Rangsit to pick up those 3 VIM.
We get together with Roland and Dawn in Bangkok. He bought us dinner at Siam Paragon when they told us about experience with the red shirt gathering near the place they shopping at water-gate.
We went back to Chonburi for the night have a good sleep then went up to Wang Nam Kheow.


At Krisawan where we can only have one day prepare to take the students from the school to Jim Thompson farm.
We reached Jim Thompson when the sun was not that high and not many visitor yet. We thank two teachers who came along to help us taking control of those students and also James and few of his friends come along to help to keep eyes to those students.



These are the whole group with us 21 students, 2 teachers 3 helpers during the trip.

































































Luke 2:48 And when they saw him they were surprised, and his mother s aid to him, Son, why have you done this to us? see, your father and I have been looking for you with sorrow.
Luke 2:49 And he said to them, Why were you looking for me? was it not clear to you that my right place was in my Father's house?
Luke 2:50 And his words seemed strange to them.
Luke 2:51 And he went down with them and came to Nazareth; and did as he was ordered: and his mother kept all these words in her heart.
Luke 2:52 And Jesus was increasing in wisdom and in years, and in grace before God and men.

Early Christmas to follow up.

After Christmas party at Baan Huay Nam Khem school, Wang Nam Kheow, we have overnight stayed at Krisawan to have another
commitment for Holy Communion service on that following Sunday 12 December then right after service we went straight to Suwanabhume airport to send Pastor John off to Singapore. I returned to Chon buri for Tuesday cell meeting and to have follow up appointment with P. Seksan and Sushiar on Wednesday. On Thursday evening we went out to market place to give invitations for another PUMC's Christmas party to people in Bang Sai.
I thank God for opportunity to work together with PUMC and Tuesday cell group out in the market once more and even opportunity to minister God's love to people who need God's love during this greeting season.


Luke 2:1 Now it came about in those days that an order went out from Caesar Augustus that there was to be a numbering of all the world.
Luke 2:2 This was the first numbering, which was made when Quirinius was ruler of Syria.
Luke 2:3 And all men went to be numbered, everyone to his town.
Luke 2:4 And Joseph went up from Galilee, out of the town of Nazareth, into Judea, to Bethlehem, the town of David, because he was of the house and family of David,
Luke 2:5 To be put on the list with Mary, his future wife, who was about to become a mother.
Luke 2:6 And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth.
Luke 2:7 And she had her first son; and folding him in linen, she put him to rest in the place where the cattle had their food, because there was no room for them in the house.

I went up again to Pai Ngarm house church for evangelize Christmas event. A. Patana pastor from Hope Church come and help to organize. There is quite a team of people come to help. The Pai Ngarm house church members, only few people turn up. We have a lot of casual guests who turned up and went back earlier before the message delivered. Anyway I thank God for
opportunity to share the good new with them. We have many children but we have more gifts more than guests. Everyone has at least one present to go home with. Next day the children said that they like to have that sort of fun party everyday.
