Learning Thai

We continue to be blessed and encouraged by our weekly meetings with our home church here in Thippawan. We are excited by all the new life we see. Over the past few weeks, several new people have come, one of whom has asked to be baptized (Pong, a friend of Eder will be baptized tonight). It's interesting to study the Bible with a mixture of seekers and new believers and to see how God is working in them and bringing about changes in their lives. We are amazed when we think about how God brought about this group and we give him all the glory because he is the one who made it all happen. It's exciting to work in partnership with our believer friend, Yupim and to see her taking leadership of the group. Please continue to pray for us on Tuesday nights (that's your Tuesday mornings if you live in the States). Pray for the Holy Spirit's power in our meetings. Pray that as the interns leave (who are friends with some of the people who have begun coming)...that we will be able to follow up and stay connected with those friends. Pray that God's glory will be revealed and that they will experience him as a friend and as a living Father. Pray for the power of forgiveness. In our last meeting we had a very meaningful talk about the need for forgiveness and it deeply affected some who are considering what it means to follow Jesus.
Thank you for remembering our Tuesday nights.
