Be encouraged

We all need much encouragement. And these days the spirit of fear and “give-up” wants to take over. But remember that the the Grace of God and the Power of God is much greater.

Last Sunday I preached in Streams of Grace Church Ubon about God of all comfort.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil.
For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. Ps 23:4
Who comforts us in all our tribulation, 
that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, 
 with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.   2 Cor 1:4
Now if we are afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effective for enduring the same sufferings which we also suffer. Or if we are comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation. 2 Cor 1:6

Anna and I have moved from House 7, Soi 12 Chayangkun Road to a cheaper house with a big garden next to the Church. This will be open for people who wants to do Kitchen Gardening.

We are encouraged to see the growth in both Child Safe Community Foundation and Streams of Grace Church.

Last weekend we had good meetings but the camera where missing a spare part, so we could not broadcast Facebook Live. Hope we can be up and running with this coming weekend.

Be encouraged this week by:
                       we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble,
             with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.   

This is amasing. I am comforted by God and can give the samd to others .. in any trouble. 

We must say that we are missing visitors to Ubon-Pakse these days. Many use to come around and ..... want to see the work. This is always encouraging. Pray that many will start coming again.
