us another outreach to a Red Lahu tribe at a town in Mae Ai some 20 k.m. away from our Home. On April 22, after our Lord’s day worship service, a black Lahu preacher came to our church and invited us to minister God’s Word to a Red Lahu village where he is currently serving. Though he is from a black Lahu tribe, this preacher stays among the Red Lahus. On May 7, a week after our church camp, we went to Huay Pu village with a mission team from Singapore. Thank God for the preaching of His Word. The Bible was taught and the message of salvation was openly proclaimed. Both adults and children have heard the Word of God clearly preached to them. It seemed to us that there is no Christian yet in the village.However, having heard God’s Word, a mother came forward after the meeting and asked us to pray for her that she would be able to know and believe in the living and true God Whom we preached. Thank God for such a seeker. May the Lord be merciful unto her and the others. Doesn’t the Bible remind us to “Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near” (Isaiah 55:6, KJV), “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. And I will be found of you, saith the LORD” (Jeremiah 29:13, KJV). Pray for us as we ask the Lord to empower us to continue to water the gospel seed in that village, Let’s pray that “God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth” (2 Timothy 2:25, KJV).
Last week, we went to Chiang Rai with Dara to meet her thesis advisors. We managed to visit Dr. Wat and his family at the resort to follow up on them. Thank God also for giving us another opportunity to reach out to a lady, named Nong Fond, who is working there. She is very keen to know more about our Christian faith and the gospel was preached to her. She is interested in Bible Correspondence Course (BCC) and we are now working it out with her. Jesus says in John 4:35 “Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.” Do pray for her salvation that through the BCC that she may behold wondrous things out of God’s Word.
School has reopened. Ou
r adopted children have gone back to school again. There are now 12 children from our Home studying in the Government school in the town. Joel and Rachel did very well in their final examinations last years. One boy has to repeat again this year because he could not yet understand nor speak Thai. But all of them did especially well in English. Thank God for all their foreign English teachers -our Christian friends from other churches who came to teach them. Be encouraged that “your labour is not in vain in the Lord” (1 Corinthains 15:58, KJV). Our older children (John, Isaac, Luke, Michael, Tommy, Grace and Lisa) have also resumed their studies. We are preparing Solomon and Phoebe (our new adopted children) to enter Primary one next year. They need to learn and know Thai and English alphabets. Thank God for faithfully providing all the needs of the children to school. Do continue to pray for them in their studies.Many here have experienced the earthquake on 16 May. They saw building shaking for quite a while and felt
headache. Grace was in the study room and she said that every thing in the room was shaking. Dara and friends were at the shop and they also saw the whole 'building' shaking. Our contractor felt giddy and thought that he was over tired to see things moving. I was in the washroom and my 2 children were in their room upstair but we did not feel anything happened. Thank God that there was no damage nor harm done to any of us. Nah Yeh was expected to deliver on May 11, but her baby still enjoys staying in her womb. May the Lord grant her a safe delivery in due time. Please pray for her. Some of our older children (Adam, John, Isaac, Luke, Tommy and Grace) are learning to drive cars and they are really taking great pleasure in it. They are looking forward to that day that they could drive on the main road. May the Lord help them!
