Pray Requests



  For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus
1 Timothy 2: 5

     I just wanted you to know how grateful I am to those who sent money for the socks. I will have plenty of money to buy the socks and toothbrushes for the dorm kids, as well as socks for the students at the school.

    One of the teachers at our school, P A, seems close to accepting Christ. The fact that her family and culture is Buddhist is the only thing standing in her way. Hunter and I have been talking to her about Jesus Christ since we got here. She is asking questions, and wants to know more. She says she believes and even prays to Jesus, but struggles to put Buddhism behind her.

     Pray that all idols will be removed from here path that it might be a clear path to Jesus. She is a leader in the public high school, and could be a great a great force for the kingdom of God. Please pray that she comes to have a personal relationship with Christ, also that Jesus would show His mighty power through giving her a baby.

      Pray also for the girl we met at the coffee shop, Jang. She said she liked to read about other religions, and gratefully we were able to give her a New Testament, which she said she would read. One of the things she asked us to pray about was her coffee shop for it makes no money during rainy season, because no one comes in the rain. Last Wednesday it was raining and we were able to show her that Jesus comes rain or shine.

     Pray also pray for P Bum, the teacher we went to her house for dinner. That God would shake that hose hold, and tare down the idols that they might see the truth that is found in Jesus alone.

      Pray for my safety as I am going to a Hmong village this weekend to stay with on of the dorm girls and meet her family. They are one of the few Christian families. I pray that I can share Christ with the others in the village, and be a great encouragement to them.

       Pray for Hunter as he teaches English to the high school students that come to our dorm this Friday. We gave them a New Testament last week and we pray that they have been reading it and have been opened up to the gospel.

      PRAISE!!! AJohn Ma Nit the dorm grandfather as been home from he hospital for a while and is up walking with a walker! Praise the lord. Pray for continued healing. The night before he left the hospital Hunter and I actually got to prayer walk in the hospital and pray individually for many of the sick and give them tracks. Pray that God has done a mighty healing work there.

So many thins to say.  I have been so busy. But I know that God is doing great and awesome things. Jesus is Lord even in Thailand, even amongst those who do not believe.

We leave Mae Charim in less than 2 weeks, but I think part of my heart will stay here forever. God has been an amazing blessing this whole summer, again and again doing miracles, and providing opportunities. I await the day I will get to go to a place and pour out His love, and never leave.
