For about 4 months we prayed to serve in Laos. We searched for Scriptures that we would be able to distribute in different places, among different key people. When we found the New Testament that we wanted, the price was beyond our reach. Then, having prayed, we decided to print one main verse in Lao – John 3:16
We went to the print shop that we used to print Bible quotes for our ministry before. My sister and I went to the manager to place an order, and she asked us, “what is written here?”, We started telling her about Jesus Christ. We asked her, “did you hear about Christ?”, She answered “no,” we continued to talk about God with her. It was evident that the Word touched her, she took out the money and said, “my husband told me to return the money to you.” We began to pray with her and thanked God. When we open our eyes, we saw the joy on her face, she took out the money that we already paid her for a new order and returned it to us as well. Inspired by such a blessing, we took the bus to Laos. And here the Lord blessed us even more, not knowing the language, not having an interpreter, God Himself did everything, we only were the tools in His hands. We saw how people took the Word of God, read, listened, how they trembled before the Word and how their faces changed.
We met a blind man at the bus station, a family passed by seeing how we shared the Gospel and they started to read to him; he listened and with hom all the other passengers. Then we gave him alms from the Lord, and everybody rejoiced because they saw the work of God. We continued our trip on mopeds and drove about 310 miles. There were many amazing meetings and opportunities to share the Word with the local population. We sincerely thank you, for your prayers, for your contribution to evangelizing this people.
