Happy to share the Living HOPE

As Ajarn Boy has been away for a Seminar, I have been sharing both on Friday and yesterday. To prepare a sermon is exciting and refreshing. It is like heaven is open and a river of Life flowing:

1. The Word of God (Logos) is becoming LIVING. 

2. God is speaking personally to us. His Rhema. 

3. We share the living witness (Matyrio) what God is done.

 

I was greatly moved on Friday to see this 58 minutes film (A FAITH UNDEFEATED) about Corrie Ten Boom (15 April 1892-15 April 1983). (91 year old) Click here to see it. 

And on Friday evening the word was; We have a hiding place in Jesus so .... we do not need to hide.

Sunday the subject was; Tune-up with the Living Hope. Yes Jesus became flesh, lived among us and people saw the Kingdom of God. Jesus among us is Living HOPE for us right here today. The word is 100% working.

In Asia we have many religions, giving many demands how to please the Spirits. But all good works (Merit-making) is never enough. Only in Jesus we become accepted and God's Children. 

Corrie ten Boom served people in need. Many Jews had nowhere to go to find shelter. We have here also people who need somewhere to have a temporary shelter. First, they GIVE UP but when JESUS is touching them they find restoration and LIVING hope. Also equipped to help others. 

Have a good week, helping many who are rootless and need God`s agape-love so they can come back on their feet again.

Learning Loop with our daughter Mariam will have a workshop in Ubon this week. Happy to have her here 4 days.

Build trust....

 ... takes time. especially among people who have been manipulated and lured by family members or close friends to stop going to school and to smuggle drugs, sell sex or do other illegal involvements. 

Childen's Mission, Child Safe and Streams of Grace Church are cooperating in the project called "Left Behind...." and other specific tasks to help children/teens to be free from slavery. Together we can do more. 

This also includes the children/teens in the Juvenile Detention Centre. (Under 18 years old) 

1. Help them in the Prison with baking, singing and counseling.  
2. Help them to come back into the community.

They are so happy every time (2 times a month) a team of 5-6 people goes to them. They ask us to come more and go to all the sections in Ubon.

Have a blessed week.

Greetings from Ubon, Ingvar (Fred)

CONGRATULATIONS

My Darling, have a very happy birthday. Appreciate you more than any other person on the whole earth. You are absolutely wonderful to me and others. Your heart is full of compassion and care.

I will pick up my Thai visa tomorrow from the Thai Embassy here in Savannakhet Laos. Tomorrow I will go to Pakse and on Friday home to Ubon.   

I took the opportunity today here in Savannanikhet to visit a very good training program. About 20 poor girls receive 4 months of training in baking, hair drassing and to learn how to sew. (I will not post pictures from there).

Greetings from the eastern side of the big river. Ingvar (Fred)

Good to be "home" in Ubon,

Very good to be back "home" in Ubon again. We really feel we are blessed to feel at home both in Ubon and in Sweden. We have here a rented place near the church and Child Safe. It works very well. 

Also very good to have our son Ben here for 9 days. He is adjusting very well. Also playing drums in the worship team. 

We have today had a good day for children, teens and music. Tomorrow is the Sunday service. Pastor Boy is preaching. I was preaching yesterday.

God is good and we see people being blessed in the fellowship. 

Greetings from this pioneer work.
