sharing good news

We praise God for the opportunity of serving Him this month. We have been able to preach to 350 children in 6 schools in Lopburi (very small schools) and to witness to a group of students in Vientiane, Laos, and train God's mission to teens in our church. We have seen what God is doing in the lives of the teens who have been trained and are burdened with God's work. We are especially excited that at church, in June, we baptized 6 people who have decided to believe in Jesus.

Proclaiming Jesus Christ to the children in Thailand is not easy. But we are pleased to be a team that goes out into the field to preach to those who may otherwise never hear about Jesus. Naturally, we encounter problems that need immediate solutions, but God always guides us through. We know that this is because we have YOU, a team of diligent prayers who are behind us and who pray for us regularly. YOU who are faithful in prayer. Knowing this is so valuable to us because prayer brings protection from God, protecting us from things we cannot see. This prayer has kept us going out to serve God. Thank you for your prayers.

From the Correspondence Bible Lessons Team

After our outreach to schools in Lopburi, there were 30 children interested in joining our correspondence program. The teachers there had also welcomed us warmly and gave the children the opportunity to join the lesson activities with us. It is the teachers themselves who have offered to be our ‘postmen’, delivering the lessons to the children for us. We are so grateful to God for wonderful teachers with open hearts. Ten of these children also connected with us online to ask for additional materials to pass on to their friends and to watch the video clips that we post about Jesus. Below are some of the comments that we received from the children
