JESUS – a friend with people in need.


All of us starts off by :….. Me, me, me. I can, I can myself. The school system promots personal growth. After some time the children also learn how to solve the tasks together as a group. Teamwork.

I think the Christian Church is the best place on earth:

A.  To grow individually (I am personally in need)

B.  To learn to work together in a teamwork. (I can learn how to work with others)

C.  To bless others that can bless others that can …. so we become movement-makers. (I have a calling) This to help others, who will help others, who will …  is challanging but exiting.                                                             

                            

Sometimes also on the pioneer-mission-field we see people only doing A. In a buddist society many are working hard to do merits. To please the spirits by doing enought good works.

To have a new mindset takes often time. But with God`s Grace and the calling of God, can we see miricals in peoples life.   

These days many have problem to do missions due to difficulties in travelling. We can travel also now but….. it is more costly, take much more time and it is much more complicated. Best is to be one-place Missionary.

Dear Missionary colleagues. DO NOT GIVE UP. Mission is more than travelling. Now the people on the mission fields are in great need.

Today we have had many children, teens and adult in the Church and Ubon Music Cafe.

A biblevers that spoke to me last night: 

Eph 3: 14 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— 19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

Be Blessed from Ubon-Pakse         Ingvar (Fred)
