Anna: Can you find for me a church with the warmth and love for the broken?

Someone called me and asked this question yesterday. The question penetrated my soul. And it reverberated against the walls of my heart until it breaks me.Someone had a comment the other week saying: You are so (read TOO) embracing.
Were is the church that is so welcoming that it is OK to come in imperfect. To be embrace by Fathers love and in the safety of that love let the guards down. Becoming true and honest. Offering a place, where it is OK to need a place of confessing our sins and receiving forgiveness. Where encouragement and hope is shared and voiced stronger than all the condemnation. Where is the church with love and warmth, for the ones freezing out there in the selfishness and cold heartedness of our times.
Does the question break your heart as it does mine? Shall we do something about it?
Love
Anna

A good beginning

Last night we had to turn away  some who came to join the programme without registering first. We are already maximizing our capacity. An awesome response and an evidence and a sign to us that there is such a hunger for righteousness in Ubon. I am so very grateful to the Lord.  We are here at the right time.
Continue to pray for the participants that their hunger for God will keep them on this road to knowthe truth and wisdom in the deepest parts of their hearts. PS 51. That the hopeless will know hope, and shame will be washed from faces, that their will be a new song in their hearts and a testimony of God's greatness.

Pray for Sue, Jenny and me including our families, as we serve.

Starting Healing Group today.

In one hour (6pm Thai time) we(Sue my old friend in ministry and I ) are starting our first Introductory Inner Healing Group. We are starting with 15 people. We had to turn away some. But we are excited and expecting Father's love to go deep today in the hearts of those who are hungry and needing true unconditional love.
Thanks for praying.
Love

Today we go lower, deeper into the society

I am so grateful for all wonderful testimonies and the power of Gods love which we saw being poured out upon so many in Ubon. The seminar ''Becoming sons and daughters for such a time a this'' brought about 80 people joining the mornings and more people joined the evenings. So much joy and also tears, as the participants received a deeper revelation of Father's love.

By experience I know that this is a key to be able to be a true and overflowing witness of His love to a very broken community. We want to be vessels testifying of Him and His overflowing love for humanity.
After an awesome 4 days of seminar and ministry together with Jean Andrews(USA) and local team and from Chiang Mai we are today opening an interesting addition of ministry at the Community Center today. 

Just as I write this, downstairs about 15 alcoholics mostly from Bhuddhist background are starting their journey to freedom.

          

A Christian nurse practitioner working at the Psyciatric hospital in Ubon is heading the program. This is a first step to something which she and we also believe can develope into a ministry of restoration for the addicts. Some churches are joining in this work.
I am amazed at the pace God is working on so many levels in this part of Thailand. It is time for Isaan. Alcohol and gambling are huge problems here bringing poverty and an circle of evil and the common root of the trafficking problem.
Father empower N.P Pet and her team with your heart and wisdom to do and be all what you want them to do and be.
Love Anna

Father God`s heart .....

When we came to Ubon for one year ago we quickly noticed that many cried out for help in their: Father/Mother-Son/daughter relationship. And even more Grandmother/grandfather relationship with their grandchildren.

This weekend (Thurs-Fri-Sat-Sun) we have our 3rd Father Heart of God - Seminar in Ubon. This time we are happy to have Jean Andrews as our speaker. Follow us here on this blog, how it goes. 

This picture (below) is from one spiritual father - young man hug and prayer in Chiang Mai. Pray that many will experience the Father's great love for us all in Ubon.      

                                                     

Pray for Thu-Fri-Sat-Sun in Ubon. Be also inspired of our new info - wall in the Community (Training) Center.

The flags are: Laos - ASEAN - Thailand. God bless you: Ingvar

We do clearly see that when we with right portion:  
Do Networking with an open heart + Have some own work we can = build up the Kingdom of God.

The focus is to help the local Christians to grow and multiply. Last Sunday we had a good day in a Udon Thani Church.
