Gems in Thailand

July 11, 2003

  When it rains, it falls!

May 4 ¡V I started attending FM Kuiburi Church. Though quiet far from Prachuap (30 kilometers) I enjoyed going there. The members are warm.

May 26 to June 2 ¡V I was in Malaysia for visa renewal. That travel turned out to have a lot of challenges. But I guess that was my turning point. God proved to me once again that He is sovereign in everything.

June 8 ¡V I talk to the pastor of Kuiburi church and his wife of my desire to open an English class.

June 14 ¡V I started our English class with just 6 students.

June 21 ¡V Second day of our English class. Amazingly 10 young people were added. And I started talking about Jesus Christ and about prayer.
I divide the group then according to their age. There are three groups: 4-7, 9-11, 15-17

June 28 ¡V The number of my students keep going up. And I started teaching English Christian songs.

June 29 ¡V When I got home from Kuiburi, a teacher who is also a friend of mine, told me that there are teachers who gathered together and they want me to teach them about Jesus and about the Bible. I agreed to meet them every Friday night, 7:30 ¡V 9:00 .

Isn't God amazing!
