Dear Prayer Partners,

Thank God for His Mercies. It was really good to have prayer with other missionaries last night. Often times, it’s during those times we hear of other problems from different facets of the mission field and then we realize that our problems may not be as enormous as we had thought.

Koy missed one of her follow-up sessions a couple Wednesdays ago. She recounted a week later that she had dreamt that I wanted her to memorize Matthew 6:33. That was exactly the topic for that day even though we had previously covered the topic. I felt that it hadn’t sunk in sufficiently so I wanted challenge her to “seek first God’s Kingdom.” Miraculously, God had intervened through a dream and answered my prayer.

We’ve been on radio 3 weeks now. God is using the Scriptures in Northern Thai to speak to Apple’s mom. I had previously purchased a large-print Thai Bible for her to read. She showed no interest. However, she’s been hungrily “devouring” the Northern Thai version. Praise the Lord! We’re doing Cain and Abel on the air this week, do pray for us.

A fellow-missionary had recounted a “Paul on Mars Hill” incident that happened recently. He spotted a couple from his office window making a sacrifice at the base of one of the trees in the office compound. Rather amazed, he decided to ask what they were doing. The couple replied “The spirit medium told us that we should make an offering to the Lord of this compound.” The missionary replied, “Do you happen to know the name of this Lord?” “No…” “Let me tell you…” and he explained that the Lord of this place really wasn’t interested in this particular sacrifice but He would rather have the love, worship and adoration of the couple. “Oh, we were told that this particular Lord is a really powerful one.” “Oh yes, He actually is the creator of the whole world.” The missionary was on his way to a meeting so that was it. I wonder if this incident had happened in our church compound, would we have bothered to ask? Or would we have chased the couple away in righteous indigna
tion.

Church prayer meeting hit 16 people last week. That meant 14 locals + David and myself. Praise the Lord! May God continue to bless His people.

That’s about it for now.

In Christ’s Service,
