Prayer and Praise

Yesterday was a good day. When we arrived at the church, there was a letter there from a 14 year old girl requesting more information about Christianity. She got a tract/workbook that we give away for free and on the last page is a request form for people who would like more information. We have no idea who the girl is or how she got the information because she lives in a suburb of Chiang Mai on the opposite side of the city. We praise God for her interest and the way God works in ways we don't expect.

On top of that, next to Antioch is a wood store. M, one of our Bible students talked to Gai (pronounced like "guy") about Christ and he gave her a Bible. Gai loves to read and was very interested in Christianity. From what I understand, she read the whole New Testament and then began on the Old Testament. However when she got to Leviticus, she started to have a problem. Buddhists thinking killing animals is a sin (strict Buddhists don't even eat meat) and she didn't understand how God could command His followers to make sacrifices. M tried to explain some and he asked Tawm to help him explain more. Tawm has spoken to her a couple times and yesterday as we passed her store, she yelled at Tawm to come inside and visit. Tawm only had a couple minutes, but the thing Gai wanted to talk about is, what do I need to do to be saved. Tawm didn't want to rush it so Tawm told her she'd be back to talk to her about that.

We praise God for answered prayer and that God is working in the lives of people here in Thailand. Please pray for these 2 ladies. It would be awesome if we had a tons of people that wanted more information about Christ.
