What a wonderful two weeks! Just remembering all that we have experienced is amazing. We spent a day touring a Buddhist temple and some tourist attractions, we spent many days with King’s Kids doing fun discipleship programs, and also many hours working on service projects in the slum. We spent hours across the street doing evangelism at the university. We met many non-Christians, many Christians, and loved learning from both. We were able to share the Gospel with hundreds of people in this community. We preached on street corners, at bus stops, and on the campus. We visited a church, preached, worshiped, performed, and testified at another. We laughed tons, prayed tons, worshiped tons, and even danced a bit!

Through all of this and more we have fallen in love with this nation. Two weeks has hardly been enough to satisfy my longing to spend more time in this beautiful country. Today as I looked ahead to the Call2All DTS in April of 2011 I started thinking of spending a few months here for outreach. I believe God is preparing this land for a great harvest and I for one would love to be a part of it. I certainly think that having a ministry on the largest university in the world is fairly strategic!

My prayer is that we have been a blessing to the ministry here with YWAM Thailand. I know they have been an incredible blessing to us. I believe the fruit we have seen over our short time is being passed on to very capable hands and I believe the seeds we’ve sown will be watered and harvested. I believe the water we’ve poured on the soil is soon to produce a great harvest that the team here is so ready for! I would encourage as many as possible to come join this family here in Thailand to work the field in this nation. I believe you will love every minute! I definitely have!

We spent most of the day as a team working in a community close to the YWAM Thailand base. We put on our construction hats in the morning and laid some concrete in a small section of the community while others passed out Gospel tracts and another group shared with a woman who is very open to the Gospel. This woman, Joy, a couple days ago as a Buddhist, prayed to our God to send some people to help fix her house. The next day we arrived to repair the siding of her home that sits above a sewage filled swamp. While our team worked on the house Ronda and Kellye got a chance to share with her and she was so thankful and open to learning more. So yesterday when we came back our team went back and shared some things with Joy they felt they had heard from the Lord for her. Through translation she asked them how they knew all that about her. They shared that Jesus knows everything about her and that He sent us to share with His love for her. We are still praying for her salvation, but believe the soil is ripe in her heart for her to meet the Lord.

Today is yet another day filled with service projects and evangelism at the university. Pray for us that the Lord would go before us and prepare the way of the hearts that we meet. We want to see continued harvest while we are here and are grateful for every opportunity to share His love in these communities!

Thanks to everyone who is praying with us!

After a couple meetings with this young man he told our team today that he wanted to become a Christian. He said it as if it was a dream of something he’d like to achieve someday if at all possible. When the two with him told him he could become a Christian right then, he almost gasped with excitement!

That’s right, with the joy of a child he came into the family of God and is going to be bringing his friends with him. In a couple days he is going to meet with our team again and bring a couple friends. He told our team that he would bring them and they would love to read the bible together and he was happy to lead the time! This is the sound of an evangelist!

Pray for our team as we minister at this campus and with children in this community. We believe God wants to touch this nation powerfully and our prayer is that we can be used over the course of our short time here to start something that will continue and even grow once we leave this area. God, let it be!
