"Only ask and I will give your the nations"
A Few "Mennonite" Men of Isacaar
1 Chronicles 12:32 says that the men of Issachar understood the signs of the times and knew how to respond. We thank God for Randy Friesen, the director of mbmission and the team of apostolic leaders that God is calling out of SE Asia to give vision and strategic planning to church planting among the least reached in Asia. This past week, Andy Owen organized our first SE Asia leadership conference, representing, Thailand, La*s, Khmu, Myanmar and Philippines. It was a powerful time of love, prayer and unity in the Spirit!
"Get up! You are needed at the hospital today!"
Last week, as she was sitting with her friend at the hospital, the doctor gave her friend some very bad news; He said, "You have HIV." "The medication alone will cost, 7000 baht per month for treatment." For someone who is without work and pregnant, this was a devastating moment.
Tengwa's friend burst into tears sobbing and said, "How am I going to pay for this? "Who will ever love me now if they know the truth?" Tengwa stroked her hair and said, "My God loves you and He is powerful. He wants to help you!" Tengwa asked her Buddhist friend is she could pray for her. Then Tengwa boldly asked God to provide for her friend's expenses. After they said, "Amen" Tengwa walked to the cashier and gave the lady the bill. The lady took the bill for 7000 baht. Stamped it and then said, "That will be 30 Baht please." Tengwa said, "Excuse me? Did you say, 30 baht?" The cashier said, "yes". The doctor said that she will be covered under the Thai insurance program." "Oh, thank you!" Tengwa exclaimed! She ran back to her friend and said, "You will never believe this! You have no debt! And you will not die. The government will pay for your medication every month!"
Global Disciples Comes To Thailand And Myanmar
"Father, we are asking for boldness to share our faith with people who have never heard of You and that many of them will put their faith and trust in Jesus, your son. Holy Spirit give these new followers of Jesus a spirit of boldness to share their faith no matter the cost and that they would become leaders in your Church. Amen!"
Love is in the air!
Praise God! 4 new Believers (2 couples) felt convicted of the need to make a covenant with God in their marriage. Its hard to believe that only a few years ago we were once a "men only" factory church. Marriage is such a profound declaration of being a disciple of Jesus Christ .
Wanted: Women Believers.
Okay, if you look at this photo above, you will see that the Bang Sai church still needs intercession for more women to come into the Kingdom! :)
Paul said, "I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong" Rom.1:11
This is exactly what Dave Wiebe, the Executive Director of ICOMB did for the Burmese Believers at the Lighthouse Church in April. The Holy Spirit moved powerfully calling out many spiritual gifts. Together, our new MB Burmese family in Thailand and Myanmar are taking steps to join the International family of Mennonite Brethren. Now that's exciting!
We were thankful to be able to lay hands on Nathan Rieger, our speaker at our missionary retreat this year and send him on to Nepal, full of the Holy Spirit. Little did we realize how important those prayers would be! Just a couple of days later, as Nathan was preaching in Nepal, an catastrophic earthquake took place. We thank God for his protection over Nathan and his team and for using him to help the Nepalese people.
It's the hot season! That means its time for all good missionaries to retreat from the heat! So thankful for our fun-loving mb missionary family in Thailand!
Our Project# is: C0702. Praise God! Every month He provides for all we need. However we really need to raise more monthly donors! If you have a friend, can you recommend us? Thank you!
