Praise for the Light

John 1:5 says, “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”

Please pray for our ministries in the Golden Triangle. There are many moments when it seems like the task is so large and when our ministry partners are not sure what to do to help all those in need. Pray that God will give them wisdom as to how they should respond to the situations around them. Pray that God will show them where He is working and preparing hearts for transformation. Pray for protection as they step into situations of rescue and prevention of human trafficking. Pray for them that they will boldly declare the Word of the Lord.

And praise God that Jesus is the Light of the World and can dispel the darkness!

Spiritual Gifts

 I Corinthians 12: 1, 4-6, “Now about the gifts of the Spirit, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed.  There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them.  There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord.   There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work.”

Josh and Julie have prayed with the children at House of Blessing and taught them about spiritual gifts.  Then they have given them opportunities to practice using their gifts.  It is a joy to them to have a worship team that they no longer need to be part of because the children are capable leaders of worship and prayer time.  This frees Josh and Julie to help another team or lead in other areas during their daily worship time.  It frees the children to become courageous in using their God-given gifts.

Thank God for the body of Christ to serve Him and build each other up to grow in Christ!

November Birthday Celebration

Every child loves to be remembered on their birthday-even adults do, although we sometimes don’t want to count the years.  It makes us feel special to be remembered.  Furthermore, it gives us reason to pause and thank God for another year of His grace and blessings.  Everyone at the House of Blessing gathers around the birthday people and prays for them.  Often, in Thailand, they all pray at once, thanking God and laying out their requests.

This month, Amber baked special cakes and the kids were all able to go to a Korean BBQ restaurant-one of their favourites!  Each individual goes to the smorgasboard and chooses the meats, vegetables and noodles they want to cook.  On each table, a BBQ is placed-the bottom has coals and the top has a dome to cook the meat and a moat around the edge to cook the vegetables and noodles.
