Nan Outreach (cont.)

His Protection :
We loaded two trucks at 04.00 a.m. on Saturday morning. We prayed together and 19 of us drove of at 05.00 a.m. One of young man said “We have a long way, we should check the engine. He found the dry water pot and moreover, he found a big pair of pliers lay on the engine. Thank you God for keeping us safe for the whole trip!!

Special Time :
We arrived school in time for lunch. After lunch we spent time with about 300 school kids. We played games, we painted and danced. My Buddhist friends from Bangkok gave the
children a lot of sweets and snacks. All the kids joined in and had fun with us all afternoon.
At dinner time we sang a special song for the Bangkok team- a Christian song about God’s home. One in our team thanked them for their support and shared with them our feeling and the meaning of the song. Come home to God’s love and his family. My Buddhist friends had soft eyes and were quiet. More important thing is when we thanked God for our food, no one from Bangkok started to eat until we said “Amen”. We needed to leave the school after dinner. Our Bangkok friends said a long good bye with our young team. One even said “God bless you” it’s not the word for general Buddhist should say and this is the first time. Truly, they enjoyed being with us and want to spend more time together. I’m confident they are hungry for God’s love but they don’t know it yet.



Impress :
We stayed over night at a Christian brother’s home in small village called Baan Nam Meat. On Sunday at 06.00 a.m., we went to worship at a local church. They are worship early
in this farming village. There are Lawa hill tribe and have about 20 members. We sang special songs and shared encouraging testimonies. I met an American missionary, his name is David. He had lived in this area more than 30 years. He has studied the local culture. He learned to listen, speak, read and write the local language. Now he teaches Bible and he translates Bible into their local language. He told me he wants to make a complete local language Bible before he leaves this world.
I was very impressed for with the Holy Communion ceremony. They use sticky rice and clean water instead of bread and grape juice. I feel they remember Jesus on the cross with their heart. Thank you God for a very wonderful experience.

Prayer Point :
1. Mr. David. He is over 60 years old and needs good health.
2. Bangkok team. They are Buddhist friends, the same team as before. Let them be more hungry for the truth and God’s love.
3. People at Baan Nam Meat. Many village people believe false gods and worship idols.
4. For next mission outreach. Maybe we will arrange a Christmas outreach.
5. Youth team. They are students. Sometime they have problems. They are a great
Team. They love God and they love each other. Pray that little things do not interfere.
