Angel's Rejoice - New Christians in Khao Din

Recently we felt like our lives resembled a yoyo going up and down. Due to neighbors refusing to talk with them for studying the Bible, the number of Thais attending the Saturday cell group fell. We were concerned about the future of the group. Would they follow Jesus or not? We had been teaching them for almost a year, and were coming to the end of the Chronological Bibles stories. We wanted a firm commitment from them to follow Jesus.

Eight people came that Saturday. This included one man, who has come sporadically. Ah-john Dusit, the pastor at Krabi Baptist, came with us. He explained what it means to follow Jesus and gave an invitation at the end of our lesson. Seven of the 8 made the commitment to follow Jesus. The Bible says that the angels rejoice in heaven when we are saved. Praise God!!


The Bible also says that God hears the prayer of a righteous man. Thanks for your prayers!

Our Daughter’s Visit

Jamie was here with our granddaughter, Natalie for 3 weeks. In the course of her visit, she went to Viet Nam with us, visited a Thai friend in Phuket, went to Aow Nang beach with her family for 3 days, and went to Phi Phi Island with her husband while we keep Natalie.

Natalie was a real joy! She went to cell groups with us in 5 locations and was a great hit with the Thais. She got her picture taken numerous times with different Thais from our groups. We also had great delight in being grandparents up close for the 3 weeks, instead of through the web cam on our computer.

New Christian Radio Station - FM 100 - True Love

This past month, Krabi Baptist Church began a 300 watt community radio station. Besides playing Christian music, sermons and other Christian programming, several of the church members are DJs. Even Richard is on the air doing a 2 hour Easy English program once a week. He mixes secular and contemporary Christian music with the English lessons. It is exciting that God’s Truth can be proclaimed in this way.

Praise and Prayer

1. Praise God for the 7 Thais in Khao Din who accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior!
2. Pray for Pa, Gal and Am to make a commitment to study the Bible consistently with our Saturday group.
3. Praise God that we had a great time with our daughter and her family even in the midst of the violent protests in Bangkok.
4. Pray for us not to be sick. (Both of us had a bad case of food poisoning.)
5. Pray for Thai government officials to make good decisions about the country’s future.
6. Pray for Thai leadership to emerge from the groups that we are teaching.
7. Pray as we witness & pass out tracts that we find people interested in studying God's Word.
