The venue is too small. New challenges

The 'The Community (Training) Center' here in Ubon has become too crowded. After several months of prayer and searching, the Church: Streams of Grace (13 months old) has now taken an exciting step to hire a shop-space. This is a better central place with possibility for development. Now during the coming 3 weeks it will be renovated and then we can begin to have the Church activities including the long-awaited Ubon Music Café.
                                                    
                                      
Many young people between the ages of 13 and 15 are living in the risk zone of being tempted to quit school, take drugs and lock themselves up in a room. Therefore, a safe place is needed where young people can study, have some cheap refreshment with a mature mentor and learn to play music instruments.
                                       



On Thursday, after signing the house contract, we went to a nearby Cafe and talked to the Cafe owners. We said that the Church: Streams of Grace will move to the neighborhood on February 1st.

Oh, one of the owners said, "I've been thinking of becoming a Christian." Then Rose and Jeet took the opportunity to tell her about the Christian life.

Exciting to have a city-pioneer congregation in the middle of society. Grateful if you can join in prayer and if you can come helping practically or provide financial start-up support. Very Welcome. Now the premises need to be furnished and equipped.

At the same time, Child Safe is now getting better room to develop themselves in The Community (Traning) Center. Here you can read the new Home page. It is not yet complete.

Yes 2020 will be a creative pioneer-church-planting-year. Have a blessed weekend.
