09 March 2010 - Praise and Prayer from Robert & Dara Peh

“There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand” (Proverbs 19:21, KJV).

THANK GOD! Our Christian Home of Love Foundation has finally gotten the approval by the Thai authority after all these years of praying and waiting. Thanks to all for your prayers and endurance.

Everyone here in the Church and the Christian Home of Love is excited about the coming Church Family Camp (from 19th to 23rd April). Camp preparation is on the way. Robert will be the Lord’s messenger. Dara, besides being the interpreter, has also started working on the games. Grace is getting the songs ready. John and the older boys will be playing the guitars. Please pray for Robert & his team in all their planning and preparation.

The Lord has been very good to all of us. All these years, He had faithfully provided all the material needs of the camp for us. None of the campers had to pay a single cent at all throughout the 5-day camp. Everything was well taken care of by our heavenly Father, the Lord of the Church. Once again, we trust that the Lord will do the same for us this year. May the Lord also bless all those who have contributed yearly to the running of the camp in one way or another!

Through the annual Church Camp, God has strengthened our walk with Him and deepened our spiritual lives in His Son. Likewise, we are looking forward to another season of God’s blessings upon each and every camper in and through this year’s camp. “O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in Him” (Psalm 34:8, KJV).

Children of the Primary school level will be having their final examinations this entire week. Do remember them in your prayer. After the exams come the summer HOT holidays. School will close and resume in the middle of May. Pray that the children will spend their time wisely during their long vacation.

Grace too will be sitting an examinations at the end of April. This would be her last paper before she would complete her Bachelor degree. Thank God for all these years of guidance in her life and service. Let’s continue to pray for Grace in her coming exams and for God’s continuous leading in her life and service.

Dara was having skin allergy since the beginning of the year. She had just recovered a few days ago and thereafter Evangel got it. He is on our prayer and also undergoing medication. Every day but especially in the night, rashes would fill his whole body. Besides feeling itchy, his face, arms, fingers and legs will also swell up. Please pray for him for a speedy recovery.

Thank God. After two years of hard labour, and with the Lord’s help, Dara’s thesis was finally approved by her thesis advisors. She is now waiting upon the advisors to arrange her for an oral examination, God willing, somewhere within this month. May the Lord prepare her heart and mind for the upcoming exams and grant her wisdom and clarity of speech before the examiners. Do uphold Dara in your prayer.

We are still looking up to God in the matter of our Church Building Project. Pray that we could get the forestry official’s approval soon to go ahead with this project. May the Lord also guide us in choosing a good and reliable construction company for the job. Surely, our God Who has called us to this work, “will prosper us” (Nehemiah 2:20) and supply all the needs. Brethren, pray with us.

Thank God also for all the last year Christmas Outreaches. There was a good turn out and response from the crowds on every event. The Lord of the harvest was so gracious to bring so many souls into our midst to hear His Word. May the Lord continue to speak to the people and work out His redemptive plan of salvation in their lives, “even as many as the Lord our God shall call” (Acts 2:39, KJV). Amen!
