Thank God for all His provisions in making it possible for us to attend the church camp at a Resort in Chiang Rai. Thank God for the opportunity to befriend the owners of the resort and to witness to them through our testimonies and singing of the gospel songs during the male owner’s birthday. Had also given him 2 gospel tracts to read. The day before we left, the female owner shared with us that she is also a Christian and was glad to have us there and especially that we could reach out to her husband. She also requested us to continue to pray for her husband, Dr. Wat as he is quite receptive.
We are thankful to God for being able to testify for Him even in the Church Camp. Besides edifying and encouraging the believers through the preaching of His Word, the Holy Spirit of God had convicted one of the campers to see the need of believing in Jesus Christ for the cleansing and forgiving of sins. Adam’s mother was the only non-Christian in our camp. Though she had decided to follow us to the camp just one hour before we left for the camp, it was not too late. Just like last Church camp, we welcomed our unbelieving loved-ones to join us so that we might have more opportunities to preach the gospel to them. Thank God for saving the soul of Adam’s mother. Indeed, “Salvation is of the LORD” (Jonah 3:9, KJV). Do pray for us for wisdom to know how to better follow-up Dr. Wat and Adam’s mom.
Thank God for blessings our church camp. From the camp theme “God’s Expectation from His children”, we have learned that God expects us: (1) To Understand and Obey His Will (Eph. 5:17 & 1 Samuel 8); (2) To Know and Remember that He is Always in Full Control of Every Circumstances (Mark 4:35-41); and (3) Not to Compromise in our Christian Lives –(i) in our Relationship, and (ii) in our Religion (Nehemiah 13:4-31). Thank God for strengthening the faith of the believers through the preaching of His Word. “Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.” (Ephesians 5:17, KJV).
Thanks for your prayer. The hot season should be over by now. It is starting to rain regularly and thank God, we have lots of water to use again. We have started to do farming too. Do pray for safety in our work. Two children were added to our Home recently, namely Solomon and Phoebe (both are 7 years old). May the Lord continue to empower us to faithfully bring up all our adopted children in the fear and nurture of the Lord.
