Well, last month I told you about the plan to take the groups on a trip. And we did. Well, 3 of them. But first, some great news.
We have a new brother and sister in the family. Their names are Annie and Yo. I wanted to give them time to let people know themselves before this blog is posted up on the interwebs and Facebook.
So we already had this trip planned out, and then they became followers of Christ, and decided they would like to be Baptized while on the trip. Unfortunately, Yo family had some health issues and he wasn't able to come on the trip, but Annie was baptized. The following Week finals started and now we are on our 3 week break until the second term begins Nov 1. At TK we will continue to meet on Tuesday nights and Wednesday nights. Found out there is a small church near my house so I have been getting to know some of the leaders there to see if we can partner together.
Also doing a lot of work in getting trained to go and start small groups. My Thai has been improving. It's no where near where it needs to be, but much better. We are starting the new semester in a few weeks, so it is too late to find a teacher for this semester, but still searching for some teachers to come for next year.
Prayer requests at this time are for:
1. Yo and Annie: that they will grow and be faithful, and that those of us showing them would be able to communicate effectively, and more than that be good models
2. TK: for the groups we have now, that hearts would continue to open and that we would be sensitive to what God would have us be doing
3. For teachers for next year
4. For funds: I am taking on less classes so that I have more time to do ministry. Which means I need to start sending out letters and need some help with getting my foods and such, as well as being able to do more with the groups (i.e. parties, trips and such)
5. TK Christians: that they would grow bold in Christ and their faith, and be willing to share what God has done for them.
6. For my classes: That i would prepare much more thoroughly for next semester than I did the past one
Thanks for your supports, your prayers, and your loves.
