Last Sunday was The Day of Pentecost. The day the Helper, the Holy Spirit was poured out and … the day is often called "the Birthday of the Church”.
How do we
celebrate Pentecost? During Christmas and Easter, we have many “around-things”
like: Christmas tree, Christmas gifts, Easter eggs, firecrackers, etc. But at
Pentecost, we have no “around-things”. The Center becomes clearer:
But you will receive
power
when the Holy Spirit comes on you…. Acts 1:8
when the Holy Spirit comes on you…. Acts 1:8
Yes, we need everyone,
every day for every situation the Holy Spirit (the helper).
The Child Safe
Community project in Ubon-Pakse had a good day on Friday in preschool
Prakittikun. All (children-teenagers-adults) are grateful for help to build up
a child safe community.
We had two good
days at Juniper Tree Pranburi together with the Covenant Foundation. CF was
founded 28 years ago in Hat Yai, now including several organizations, churches
and individuals.
