Children are praying for their parents

Many thanks for your prayers. Three of our girls were able to undergo the CEF training which was held in Bangkok. I was a blessing for them to see other Christians and the warm relationships between them. The training process was not easy but with Gods help, they were able to complete it. God sent good people with them on the way and they were also to see the sea (Gulf of Thailand) for the first time in their life. They are very grateful to everybody who supported them with prayers and financially. Please keep praying for Gikik, Ing, and Ping so that they can use all their acquired knowledge in the ministry.

We are thankful for our church, which provided finances to purchase clothes for our girls. With tears in her eyes, the seven-year-old said: ”Thank you, I never owned a dress in my life.” This seems so insignificant but for them it is very important.

Our children’s choir participated for the first time in our worship service, and two girls were playing the piano. Praise God for sending us people who can teach our children.

Recently we had a special evening in our church. We remembered how God built relationship with people. The way God was interacting with biblical heroes in the past is how he wants to communicate with us. We studied the scripture, prayed, sang and ate together. One of the girls said: ”I hope to see my friends and family in heaven.”

All of our children are from Non-Christian families. They pray for their parents but don’t see any fruits of it. Last week we listened to the testimony of Ploy, and how God answered her prayers. When she came to Christ she prayed for her parents for many years, and waited daily for an answer. Seven years later they turned their life’s over to Christ and her father is the founder of our church.

We are very happy to have a stove in our church. Here our children learn how to bake and enjoy the sweet they created. There is no recipe that they can ruin, they eat everything they cook with joy.

They are already planning to share their baking creations with families in need. They also plan to bake for church events, sick in local hospitals, which we regularly visit on Sundays, and of course for orphans around us. We want our children to understand that they receive blessings by giving. Thank God.

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ! Thank you very much for your prayers and support! God is faithful to His promises and when we rely on Him we can expect Him to help us.

On Mother’s Day, we invited local mothers and their children to our house of prayer. Many of them visited us for the very first time. Not knowing what to expect they were watching everything that was happing. We congratulated all mothers and grandmothers of this beautiful holiday.

This holiday is special in Thailand, and we used this opportunity to get to know the mothers and grandmothers of our students. For them this program was special. The children sang and congratulated their mothers. It was nice to see mothers and children sitting together because many of them grew up with their grandparents or other relatives.

Since Mother’s Day has passed, we now have a desire to organize a family day, where the whole family can come together and hear the about Christ.

Prayer Request:

• For every child who hears about God would bear fruit in their hearts.
• For the staff, that God would send the right people who are ready to help in the ministry.
• For our elderly women who come to church and are not employed.
• For us, we need Gods wisdom in this ministry.
