Visitors that helped

Rich and Am came to help us. Am was looking for different ways to witness. He and Rich went out with us several days talking with Thais about God.

A. Winit, a Bangkok pastor and his team came to follow up on some tsunami projects. He helped break down barriers to the Gospel with 4 people, who are interested in God. It also energized and encouraged us in our work.

A. Wi-nit shared Bible stories that related to each of these Thais. Wano and his wife, Huang, were asked to allow God to be limitless and not manageable by us. Tosini was asked to be faithful in her journey to knowing God. Big was challenged to share God with her neighbors.

Comfort for Tourists

Krabi is a tourist area. Mostly Europeans come to visit the beautiful beaches. Recently, the youngest daughter of a vacationing Swedish family was stung by a Red jellyfish and died. The family was brought to Krabi Baptist. We met the family, let them talk about their daughter, assured them of the fate of their daughter, read scripture, and then we prayed for them. Praise God for being here and being able to help.

Witnessing Seminar

A Witnessing Seminar was held at Phatthalung Church and 70+ people attended. A. ChuChat and his team from ChiangMai, led and encouraged attendees to witness. After the presentation, participants went out into the town of Phatthalung to talk to other Thais about God. Nine of us from Krabi attended the two day conference.

Ba Sa-ing

Ba Sa-ing lived in Krabi and prayed for 6+ years for a church in the city of Krabi. Missionaries came and Krabi Baptist Church was formed. She was a faithful member of the church. Recently she was diagnosed with brain cancer. We traveled 5 hours to see her at a hospital in Hat Yai. The evening before we got there she had gone into a coma and was sent to ICU. Ba Sa-ing died 3 days later. The family was impressed by three Baptist Churches who visited her. The testimony of her Buddhist family after her death was that she had not shown signs of pain and that they were sure that she was in heaven. Please pray that Ba Sa-ing’s family will come to know Jesus as their personal Savior.

Prayer and Praise - God is answering your prayers

1. Wano, Huang, Big, Somboon, and Tosini are closer to God’s kingdom. Continue praying that they will accept God's plan for their lives.
2. Pray for God to reveal himself to the Southern Thais through vivid visions and dreams about Jesus the Messiah.
3. Pray that the Krabi church members who went to the witnessing seminar will begin to use their testimony to bring many to believe in Jesus Christ as God’s son and Savior.
4. Pray for Ba Sa-ing’s family to come to know Jesus as Lord and Savior.
5. Pray that Richard and Linda will successfully finish shortening the Chronological lessons so that they are in correct Thai and can be used by others in discipling Christians.
