HIM Report-Family of Six Receive Christ

Report from HIM Leader on new Christians in Pam Kae Village:

This is an update on Hmong ministry in Ban Pam Kae, Nan. After we had Bible study and fellowship service, a man and his wife stopped by and had questions regarding the Lord Jesus Christ. Both husband and wife had heard about Jesus Christ, but don't know what kind of god he is. They wanted to know could Jesus help the husband and his family.

The evil spirits (ancestors) caused him sickness for five years. The doctors cannot help, several shamans had offered sacrificial animals to the redeem the lost soul (the soul being separated from the body), but nothing helped. He has spent all the money he had for shaman to help save him through the ancestors, but lost the money for nothing. He is tired of worshiping and sacrificing animals for the ancestors ( evil spirits).

I shared the gospel of Jesus Christ and presented the plan of salvation to the family. Mr. and Mrs. Yua Pov Saethao and 4 children made profession of faith in Jesus Christ.

Thank God for saving this family of 6 people. Please pray for the new family member and the people in that village. See photo ( 4 kids not at home this time).

In Christ

HIM Report-Request Prayer Regarding the Rainy Season

This is a report and request for prayer from HIM Leader. The rainy season always brings a challenge to the Work in Thailand.

Xeng Lor, who is the HIM Servant in Chiang Rai Province will not be able to go far from his village because of the condition of the roads. His village, Huai Khu, and all the villages he serves are remote and quite dangerous to travel during this time of the year.

Bangyat Her, HIM Servant in Nan Province, is also having trouble getting to several villages in his area. His village is on a main highway so he can get around to some areas. We have been "trapped" on occasions in some villages where Bangyat would like to work. The roads from his village south are very dangerous.

Request from HIM Leader:

Dear Fran,

Just to remind you that it has been raining for 4 days and 4 nights and the sky is still not cleared out. We pray that the weather will cooperate with us on this coming weekend. We have been planning to go back to Phucheefa, Chiang Rai for visiting believer groups and sharing the Good News to the people in Phucheefa areas.

In Christ,

HIM Leader
