Hi y'all!
It's 28th now and there's only 2 more days to Singapore, and many are reluctant to leave. "I don't want to go home..." says Sara. Thank you for all your prayers and continuous support anyways.
Today God allowed us to witness other brothers and sisters in Christ doing God's work in Thailand :>
We started off today with visitations. The first one was to Singburi city church whereby we met Eal who owned a papaya salad stall beside the church. This faithful church member used to have uterus cancer, but now glory to God, the cancer cells are no longer active. Please do pray for total miraculous recovery for this sister in Christ. Every Saturday, she goes around evangelising to the "ulu" parts of that area of Singburi. Her business will then be left in the hands of her other workers, please do pray for smooth and prosperous business so as to allow her to go spread the Gospel and love of God without any worries. The Singburi city church also does a Christian radio broadcasts and Eal's friend Mu got to know of Christ through it. Do pray for Mu to have a stronger faith and closer walk with God for this new believer and that this radio broadcast can continue to touch many other Thais.
Next we went for some shopping at the morning Pasar Malam and feasted at a delicious beef noodles and wanton mee stall of a thai lady from Singburi Church. We even got to taste thai milk tea, chendol and bo bo cha cha for dessert. However due to the hot weather, two of our tmt troopers Pei Xuan and Audrey fell sick, feeling giddy and nauseous. Currently Pei Xuan is at the pink of health *Hallelujah* and Audrey is sleeping soundly. So please continue to pray for good health and strong bodies of the tmt troopers.
After that we headed to Thanpraporn Church to visit brothers in Christ, Air and Sayang. These two loyal servants of the Lord lived in an extremely small room in the church, smaller than the size of a classroom in Sunday School. There weren't many chairs in the church as the tribal thais prefer sitting on the floor instead. We prayed for Air and Sayang that they will be able to have suitable partners chosen by the Lord to serve alongside them in the church. Pray that Air will remain strong as his family relies on him for advice and decisions, knowing that he is the "wise man" in the family. Also for his brother and sister-in-law who are facing a rough patch, pray that there will be peace and love in the family. As for Sayang, pray for total healing upon his mental health that he does not have to rely on medication at all and that he will be able to be released from his financial burdens - he still has to repay his outstanding university loans from the government.
We then left for a children club with a total of 7 kids. We sang songs, played many games and did some Art and Craft. The kids enjoyed the programmes. At the same time Ben, Ryan and Arunee were trying to share the Gospel to a teenager at the club. He was receptive of the sharing at first, saying that he will walk the bridge with the Lord. However when they wanted him to follow in saying the sinner's prayer, he refused to. This might be due to his Taoist family background. Therefore please pray for an open heart for him and his family.
We ended the day with oishii Pad thai dinner and another shopping session. Everyone had a great time especially jasmine who carried home a huge bag of goodies :>
Now for the prayer pointers for tomorrow:
-good weather
-proper rest, spiritually, physically and mentally
-free from mosquitoes and quick healing for those who were bitten badly by them
-smooth sailing of concert at a high school
-wisdom, courage and faith upon all who are sharing; Deborah who is sharing the meaning of Christmas, Josiah who is sharing his testimony and Ben who will be leading the Bible devotion.
-open hearts for highschoolers and no distractions during activities
-for tmt troopers to be focused and daring to step up and share the Gospel to the high schoolers.
signing off,
tmt troopers Private Jasmine and Zhiqi
