We are Grateful

We received a lot of encouragements this week. First, we had been visited by the interim missions director of the LCSBC and his wife . They saw the different ministries that God has entrusted to us. These ministries may be small compared to other high profile ministries in some other areas but we believe that with their partnership it will be a start of something big, great things that God will accomplish here in partnership with His humble servants. We are praying for a fruitful ministry partnership with the as they are getting ready to move to Bangkok next year.

Second, we are touched by the care and concern of the LCSB youth council with the leadership of their director (I was advised not to mention names here). They come to rescue us from impending "disaster" by sending us their support. God is always on-time and he never fails.

Third, a missionary from Asia has come this week and she will live in the neighborhood. Our village seems to become a favorite resident for missionaries and we believe that God has brought us together for support and encouragement.

Fourth, the Evangelistic English Classes are getting stronger. We expected that after two weeks children and young people will no longer have the energy and drive to continue their language study. But we have a resolute group of young people who are eager and interested to learn. They are learning stories about Jesus each night.

Finally, our senior Pastor had presented us the present and future activities and ministries of the Mae Sai Grace International Church as a means of evangelizing the community and discipling new believers. These are the following:
