Dear brethren in the Lord,
Today is the beginning of ‘Song Kran’ festival (or water festival), which the northern Thai people celebrate their New Year. It is
a time of reunion for the Thais. Many will be enjoying themselves, drinking alcohol and making merry during this 3-day festive season. People are playing water everywhere. Anyone, young and old, outside the street, walking, riding or driving, will be splashed by water. Every year, there are lots of accidents, death and casualties. Do pray for safety for the people.
Although the weather is getting hotter and dryer, thank God for providing rain to cool down the atmosphere. Thank God for answering our prayers in sending us water from above. The bore well (93 meters deep) which we dug 3 years ago, did not turn out well as the PVC pipes in the ground broke. Do pray with us as our Home is again experiencing shortage of water, but still must thank God that it is not fully empty yet.
Thank God for all the nightly worship and the sermons that we heard throughout the whole of last week, that reminded us of the love of Christ for us in willingly going to the cross to die for us, as it is written, “Though He were a Son, yet learned He obedience by the things which He suffered; And being made perfect, He became the Author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey Him” (Hebrews 5:8-9, KJV).
Our Easter
‘Son-Rise’ worship service was held at our future church site in Den Luang village (which is near our corn field, facing the hill where the villagers buried their dead). Robert preached on “Christ Our Hope” (1 Timothy 1:1), challenging the congregation to continue to hope in the only living and true God both now and ever, for “faithful is He that calleth [us], who also will do it” (1 Thessalonians 5:24, KJV), “which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began” (Titus 1:2, KJV). Doesn’t the Scripture say, “if in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first fruits of them that slept” (1 Corinthians 15:19-20, KJV).
Indeed, thank God for the victory over sin and death which our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ has won for us, as the Apostle Paul says, “O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Corinthians 15:55-57, KJV). “For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil” (1 John 3:8, KJV). Praise the LORD! Jesus is alive! To view Easter photographs, click here:
