Not just a good life.


The dinner last night with the English teacher and the family went well. She walked us around the village. Basically her entire family and extended family lives within a block of each other. She and her mother both said that their house is our house and that we are welcome back anytime. Kelly shared a good bit about Christ and that He is the only one that can save us. We are hoping to continue to reach out to her and her family while we are here. A. John Mnit taught her older sister, who they said is a Christian, when she was younger. If anything we hope to build the bridge from their family to the dorm/church we stay at.

Today, we when to the coffee shop in the rain to spend more time with Jang. Kelly and I both pray that us continuing to come despite the rain was a testament that God wants to have a relationship with her. We continue to invite her to the dorm to learn and speak English with her but she keeps telling us "when I have free time." Please pray that the Holy Spirit would work on her heart. She has studied about Jesus in school and all she knows about Buddhism is what she has been told by her mother. Pray that she would want to know the Truth! Buddha himself said that there will be another "Phra" to come that will save them from their sins.

We are made in the image of God so we desire to worship something. Whether that is God, money, sports, etc. We worship something with our lives and how we live our lives shows what we worship! Lord, I don't want to live a "good" life and never tell anyone or give praise to you for everything in my life. Otherwise I am living to bring glory to myself when credit is due to You!
