SO MANY MINISTRY OPPORTUNITIES!!

We are amazed at the wide variety of opportunities are open to our team to minister and serve with our host church here as well as other Christian workers here. The pastor caught a bad cold (I think we passed ours on to him), so he asked to preach again today. I helped in children's church.

This past week I (Doris) was able to do two full days of baking for the Coffee House that the church has recently opened. The pastor's wife normally does all the baking for it, but she was swamped with other obligations, mainly because the church was hosting a two-day pastor's seminar. I introduced cinnomon rolls and they seemed to go over well . A young man on our outreach team recently introduced "cheesecake," that was a very big hit.

Part of our team spent two days this week visiting outlying villages where an incredible revival is taking place, especially among the youth. The Lord stretched our team big time when they had to eat bamboo larvae, mud fish, etc. and sleep on bamboo floors. But they said all the discomfort was worth it, just to see the children worship God, repent, and receive visions from God. Arthur and I were with Pastor Gampon in another city at revival meetings. We truly enjoyed the meetings (praising and dancing and worshiping until midnight each night). God is definitely on the move in Thailand! It's amazing to see faith rising up in the Christians as they see and hear about all God is doing all over the country. Healings and miracles are happening in many places.

This coming week we had planned to work with an orphanage here in Chiang Mai but now it isn't working out to spend the week with the children. Please pray that we will know what He is directing us to do. Each week we've worked helping university students speak/learn English, visited the sick and dying in the children's wards of the hospital, worked on the church (rebuilding restrooms, painting, weeding, cleaning, etc.). On Thursday we will be making a "border run" to get our visa's squared away for the next leg of our outreach phase. Please keep us in prayer that day. It will be a long day of travelling across the border and back. Oh Oh gotta go!! Explain later!
