Seminary Student Testimony


During the summer break here (March –May) seminary students go to several places in Thailand. One team came to practice things they had heard in class in the south. They came a few days to help us with our work.
One of the students gave his testimony. Tong was a dancer in bars and discos in a Thai tourist city and was into drinking heavily plus other things.
Tong’s mother had been inhabited with spirits for 12 years. She had been to and spent lots of money on 2 spirit doctors, who both died. His older brother became a Christian and led his mother to God. The spirits left her when she became a Christian and didn’t return.
When Tong returned home, his mother asked him to go to church with her one Sunday. His thoughts were, “I don’t want to go, but to appease my mother I’ll go. I became a Buddhist monk temporarily for my mother, going to church one time is certainly a much shorter time than a couple of weeks as a monk.” He went to church and he too met God. His life changed and now he’s studying at the Baptist seminary in Bangkok so he can work in a church with teenagers. Praise God for calling Thais to Himself, who will in turn bring many others to Jesus.
