God is good and is blessing His work here in Thailand. Souls are being saved at International Baptist Church, as well as many other churches around the country! It is an exciting time to be a missionary here.

This month, we took our team to Bangkok for a Soul-Winning Conference hosted by Missionary Eddie Arold. It was a blessing to be challenged in the area of personal evangelism, and I believe it was a great help to our staff as well. In the afternoon, Bro. Arold took us to a public school, where we told the Christmas Story. He asked me to preach the Gospel at the end. It was incredible to see hundreds of children listening intently; and, praise God, many of them raised their hand for salvation!

A few weeks later, we took a group of almost 20 of our church members to help Missionaries Eddie and Nayra Perez with their church start. We went out soul winning in the afternoon and invited many people to come. That evening, a couple of visitors came, and one young man accepted Christ! It was such a special time. We rejoice that another like-minded Baptist church has been planted just a couple of hours away from us.

There is a man who has been coming to our church for many years. His wife Wanprapa has been a Buddhist her entire life and would not come to church with him. I visited them the first month we were here and tried to share the Gospel with her, but she was completely uninterested and did not want to discuss spiritual things. Katie Belle and I continued to visit them and tried to build a relationship with her. One Sunday, Wanprapa came to church with her husband! We were thrilled. She came the next Sunday too and the Sunday after that. In fact, she has not missed a Sunday yet! She came to me multiple times with questions about things I had said in my sermons. Just a couple of weeks ago, she raised her hand during the invitation. I sat down with her after the service and walked her through the Romans Road. At each point, she simply said, “I believe that.” So, I took her to Romans 10:9-10 and showed her that belief comes from the heart and confession is made with the mouth. She then, very sweetly, bowed her head and asked Jesus to save her! We have a powerful God Who can soften any heart.

One afternoon, I received a message that someone had reached out to the church and asked for a pastor to visit their dying friend. When I arrived at the house, Roger, a 91-year-old British man, was lying on a roller bed next to the back door. He was so weak he could not speak but was completely conscious. I asked him if he knew he was going to Heaven. He shook his head. I asked him if I could show him how to know. He nodded. I led him through the Gospel and asked if he wanted to receive Christ. He reached for my hand and squeezed it gently. I led him in the sinner’s prayer, and when I asked him if he had believed, he nodded again. Moments after we finished praying, an ambulance arrived to take him to the hospital. Apparently, his friend had waited to call the ambulance until we had spoken with him. That’s why he was by the back door. Roger passed away just a few days ago. Thank God for Heaven!

Mikey’s Moment

Mikey has recently learned that when we see an ambulance with its lights on, it means someone has been hurt, and we should pray for them. The other day he saw one and said, “Someone’s hurt! Dear Jesus, thank you for the food. Help them get better. Amen.”

We love you all!
