"The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much" (James 5:16, KJV). Thank God for honouring our prayer and empowering us for His service. The message preached and the gospel skit presented at Hui Pu village in October were well received. It has been our practice too to make time after each evangelistic meeting to pray for the sick and needy. On that evening, the chieftain also came and requested us to pray for him too. There are some bullets in his body which are giving him pain, especially during the rainy and cold seasons. We prayed to our God for bodily relief for him, but were careful also to explain to him from God’s Word our Christian concept of biblical prayer, that he (being an unbeliever) may not mix it with his heatenistic idea of prayer.For that reason, we were inspired to speak on our next visit on the topic of FAITH, from Luke 7:1-10, on the biblical account of Jesus healing the centurion’s servant. So, God willing, our next trip to Hui Pu village will be on November 10, at 5 pm. May the Lord once again fill us with His Holy Sprit and enable us to bring across His message with clarity and simplicity, that sinners may come to acknowledge Him as the only living and true God Who alone could save lives and forgive sins. “But without faith it is impossible to p
lease Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him” (Hebrews 11:6, KJV). Do continue to keep us in your prayer.Thank God also for helping the younger students in their school examination last month. Praise God that none of them had failed. In fact, all of them did fairly well. Among the Primary 3, Rachel was first and Rebekah fourth. The weaker students have also shown some improvement in their studies. Being Red Lahus, their command of the Thai language is poorer. Most of them need to brush up in this area. Some still have emotional and behavioural problems to tackle with. Nevertheless, thank God for all their good results and for the changes we could see in their lives. Those who ever have an acquaintance with the Red Lahu children and truly understand their background and learning ability and habit would be able to appreciate better how we feel and what we are describing here.
School has resumed since last Thursday (1st November). Please pray for our children and their studies, and especially that they will remain a good testimony in the school, applying to their lives all that they have learned every day from their daily family worship. Please pray for Robert as he teaches them from God’s Word how to be good Christian students for the Lord in the school and the necessary of building up their Christian characters which confirms the good work that God has begun in their lives (cf. Philippians 1:6).
This month is rather a busy mo
nth for all of us here in the Christian Home of Love. It’s rice harvesting time. Lots of work to be done, from cutting and drying the straws to threshing, winnowing and gathering the grains into sacks and weigh, before transporting them to the barn for storage. The hays will then be tied into bundles and carried home for animal consumption. The entire harvesting will take about a month. Please pray for all the reapers, for strength and safety working in paddy field.We are once again reminded of what Jesus says concerning the harvest of souls 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” (KJV). Yes, “the harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few” (Matthew 9:37, KJV). Not only should we pray (Matthew 9:38), but let us also, as children of God, knowing that we must fulfill the will of God in our lives, respond readily and say like our Master, “My meat is to do the will of Him that sent Me, and to finish His work” (John 4:34, KJV). May the Lord find us faithful each day to do His will.His unworthy servants,
