Day by Day

Yesterday we had a prayer meeting for 2.5 hours, worshiping God, praising Him, discussing the best ways to reach the people in this community. The pastor whose church we are staying at, said that the best way is to build friendships, which is so great and what we really want to do, but the challenge is we are in Chiang Mai for only two more weeks. Our prayer request would be that God would open up doors to build friendships that we can carry back with us to Norway.  That we could invest in peoples lives now but continue discipling, praying for them, encouraging them, even after we leave.

That evening we went out on the streets for a couple hours to do evangelism. We also were able to host an English class last night to help teach basic phrases. A lot of us on the team have a heart for reaching out to prostitutes, and it just so happens the area we live in has a lot of brothels.  The only problem is the girls are not on the streets, they are almost always in the room, so that makes it really difficult to reach them.  Please join us in praying that we would have an opportunity to reach some of the girls who have been trafficked and be able to share of God's love for them, and their value in Christ.

Today we will be going on a prayer walk to the Shan temple, the people group that is one of our main focus's this outreach, we will then be doing street evangelism, and then split into two groups where one goes to work in a local children's school, and the other will do house visits to Shan families to pray for them and give them encouragement!

Please continue for Unity in our Team, and for the spiritual warfare that is going on in Thailand, pray that we would see a breakthrough, and that we would not only plant seeds but see the harvest reaped.

May God bless you!
