In southern Thailand two languages are spoken fluently by most people, Thai and Malay. With no translator other than our supervisor, it is difficult for us to share the gospel on a regular basis. The people speak just enough English for us to order our food and to ask how are we doing. Our team is trying to find those who speak English well so that we may share the gospel with them.
God has shown us an individual who is our age that speaks English better than most. We have built a friendship with him and were preparing to share the gospel with him & his friends. However, out of the blue, he explained over a text message that he had to leave town and would be back in two weeks. We are preparing for and eagerly awaiting his return.
However during this time waiting his arrival, we must be put to good use with others. Our supervisors have explained how our mere presence has already opened doors for them to share the gospel and they have seen some promising responses. We are also actively looking for English speakers that we may have an opportunity to share with.
God has the ability to break through language barriers to achieve His goal and we have faith that the best is yet to come. God is faithful and has shown us that there is promise and hope here for these people. Our hearts long to see the hopeless find hope and the lost be found.
