Thailand: Tueng Prison
Tuesday the team entered the 300 men facility. The prison is about 1 hour south of Chiang Rai. There were 30 men in attendance. Most are in there for drugs. (This is the #1 avenue for opium traffic.)
I apologize for the team picture. They took our valuables at the entrance and only one camera was used and they took all the pictures.
The service consisted of basic church songs, personal (prisoner) testimonies, then Kenneth gave his testimony and John brought the message. Lek was our translator.
Pray for the Christian community within the walls of this prison. God loves them too!
Thailand: CALL FOR PRAYER!
I am certain many of you have wondered why I have not posted since Friday. One, we have been busy, but also things have been happening.
I normally do not talk opening like this but please bear with me. We have come under serious spiritual attack. As I have read Michael Johnson's (Baan Athitaan Church Pastor) newsletter he has made it clear that God has been moving among the people of northern Thailand. Our time here has certainly been in God's timing too. Praise God...27 souls were added to the kingdom on Sunday! Satan is not happy with that! Let me explain.
1) The weather has not been very cooperative. The entire team has found ourselves to tire quickly because of the combination of heat & rain but push through.
2) Sunday Satan raised the stakes! Brewer came down with food posioning and had to be admitted to the hospital on Monday. Our schedule has had to be modified somewhat. Ann & I have a slighter case of it too. Ann has made due to stay with Brewer. I have had to make due in order to stay with the team. Brewer will be in the Hospital until he can keep down food and the antibiotics.
3) Michael's car now has clutch problems.
4) There are other spiritual situations but I will not even explain right now.
This is a call for prayer! Serious Godly prayer. If you have ever in your life prayed this is the time. Don't delay as you read this get on your knees and pray!
Pray for the Texas team: Kenneth, Marie, Karen, Brewer (in particular), Ann & John.
Pray for the Baan Athitaan team: Michael, Hope, (their children), Ped, Phet, Aew, Ja, Lek, Kim, Allison, Bum (Boom), Gae, Nun.
Our needs are: health, healing, protection, God's vision, endurance, strength to complete the mission, spiritual warfare (as we see God moving and know that Satan has been attacking).
