Open doors and challenges

We have had a very interesting week with many challenges. Last week ended with a lost sheep in orange colors, calling on the name of Jesus for help. She is a well  known face in this nation and now she wants us to meet and minister to her children in the orphanages she is running for kids with HIV and sexually abused ones. She is also planning to have outreaches at the boarder point villages (Laos and Cambodia,) to create awareness of human trafficking and Child Protection. particularly as Thailand opens the boarder under the ASEAN. She is challenging us to join with her.

Please pray with us to know Fathers heart. There are many open doors, just as God told us when we moved here to Isaan.

I am so grateful for good coworkers. But we need to be on constant prayer vigil as we sometimes feel he is breathing down our necks.
Our desires are to do what pleases the Lord who called us here. Walk in His footsteps as close as we can. But sometimes we are tempted to look down at the troubled sea, like Peter and fear arises.

This week our staff worked together with friends in the network of  church planters to teach in schools on child protection. Very positive to have local connections to Christians in the villages, even if they are very new believers.


We find ourselves working hand in hand with other ministries here in Isaan. And this is a tremendous strength as many has left Isaan disillusioned. We need each other. This is not a safe place for lone rangers.
Love
