Being LIGHT in the Darkness

On Monday, we took members of the Deen Khao church group out to pass out gifts and tracts and share God's love with people in the community that we had contact with over the past couple of years. Altogether we gave out 18 gifts for adults, plus gifts for the children as well. It was a lot of fun for our group members as we strive to help them understand who they are as the church in their community and to BE the light of God to the people around them.

Merry Christmas!

We are home together for the holidays. Libby is with us. She is home from Chiang Mai during school break. this week has been booked full with Christmas preparations. Monday and Tuesday, we helped with a Christmas program for 1400 students at a local school in Phang-nga. Last night, we had a party for a group of older children and teens at our home. It was a lot of fun.

Thank you so much for your prayers during this holiday season. Pray for me as I share at a community-wide Christmas party held at a local church. It will be Friday evening here (your Christmas morning)

God bless you all and have a wonderful Christmas!
For the Kingdom!

Preecha and Arom

We had a good meeting with our Deen Khao group yesterday. I do need you to be praying for Preecha and Arom (older couple) as they are still having problems with drinking alcohol. Before they became Christians several years ago, they were big drinkers. For a while they gave it up, but over the past year they have drifted back into the old pattern. Please pray for them. All of the rest of the believers in the group are very concerned for their health. They are believers and are both in their late 60s. They are extremely poor, but they have enough for food. Please pray for me also that I will have wisdom to help them quit.

Tea Shop Ministry

Yesterday, I went out to a mus]im community to share. I was praying for boldness because I was going into a community where we hadn't been well received in the past. But praise the Lord, as I shared from house to house, many people were happy to listen and even asked questions. I spent a large amount of my time in two tea shops sitting and chatting with several interested men. Thank you for your prayers. Keep praying that the Lord will open a door for His message in these communities.
