Good-Better-Best

First. 
We are doing well and we are glad that we these Corona-days live right on the mission field. For many years we were travel missionaries into many countries in Asia, but since October 2013 we live and work in Ubon-Pakse, which is a large unreached area. 0.2% Christians incl Catholics. We have 300 meters to the Child Safe Center and 3 km to the Church. Everyone we work with lives around here. In Corona times, yes always, is the best to live and do mission work in the community we work in.

The Preachers word spoke to the Preacher.
                     (Good-Better-Best).

Yesterday I preached: Do Good deeds. Develop your gifts and talents so you can do better… but don't forget the best of all. Only JESUS ​​can do the best. He can give the NEW LIFE to flow out with the living heavenly water. Let the mighty deeds of God make us a new creation ... in the servicing the living God. Only he can take us out of our different Lockdowns and boxes.

Yesterday after church, God's Word kept ringing in me. I got a picture / understanding / parable:

In the house we rent for the Church here in Ubon we have had very little pressure in the water pipes. And the house owner didn't want to put in a tank + pump. So last week, Pastor Boy and I went to a construction company and bought a water tank and a water pump. So we could arrange the parts, but where to put them together? And who can put together electricity and all pipes …… so everything works?

We found a good man that can do it. He connects it all. I myself can fix many parts, but only JESUS ​​can connect them so the Living Water is flowing stronger in Churches and in the society.

Prayer: 
Thank you JESUS ​​for the opportunity we have to do GOOD and develop so we can do BETTER. Thank you JESUS ​​that only you can do the BEST, only you can connect life so our lives works for the heavenly blessings to ourselves and to many others. THANK YOU Jesus, you are our LIFE FLOWING Master.
