Thanksgiving is coming up; as Jason and I sat down to think
of what we are grateful for and to count our blessings, our supporters topped
the list.
We are very grateful for you!
We are so grateful for your prayers, and, for your financial
support. We praise God for your
generosity and willingness to unselfishly share your lives with us as God
provides our needs through you, to continue the work here in Thailand.
Thank You. We cannot
say this enough. We are humbled beyond words by your kindness.
Today at Peace Church Ao Nang, the newly planted church
where Jason and I serve, we celebrated Thanksgiving Day with people from all
over the world. A small sample of what
it would someday look like, as every knee will bow and every tongue will
confess Jesus Christ as the King of kings!
The tradition of giving thanks to God is now being observed by some here
in South Thailand where the percentage of Christians is under 5% of the
population. But one day, we believe it
will be a tradition that most of South Thailand, if not all, will be
celebrating --- to give praises and thanks to our God.
Many of you have asked about my family as the news about the
devastation of the typhoon in the Philippines captured international
attention. Thank you so much for
thinking of me and my family back home.
I want you to know that they are doing fine. Their city was not in the path of
destruction. I am thankful for this, but I am sad to see that thousands did not
escape this terrible calamity. And for
those of you who sent help for the victims through Sowers International or
other means --- thank you.
Last month, I was privileged to join Prakhun Language School
students on a trip to Singapore and Malaysia where we not only had the chance
to eat and play with the kids for 4 days; we also had the opportunity to pray
with them together at night before going to sleep. We had lots of fun and loads of interesting
stories, but my favorite part of the whole trip was the chance to pray with
them. On the last night that we were
together, I was extremely tired and almost went to sleep without praying with
them. They were the ones who reminded me
that we haven’t prayed yet, and that they want to do it before we go to
sleep. To me, that was the best thing
that ever happened during the entire trip besides riding the Transformers’ ride
at Universal Studios’ Singapore. Haha!
Also last month, Peace Church celebrated its first ever
baptisms. Five youngsters answered the call!!
Again, Jason and I would like to say, “Thank You. We deeply appreciate you guys. We love you in Christ Jesus!”
