2019 Thailand Missions - Willing To Do the Little Things
Even in this simple observation, we shared of the draw of such a site and the weight of the strong cultural ties that Buddhism has on this country—and even the world. We asked questions like, “What if our own church drew such visitors? What would our church people say?” We paused and wondered how we could be a better draw for people at our church—not in the physical sense, but more in the spiritual sense.
As we began some work at The Centre, the student interaction has honestly been low. We’re in a transition time for the school year, but there are only a handful of students attending English courses right now. This isn’t anything we can change immediately, so we’ve been praying for more interaction and seeing how God can use us to bless even the few students we come into contact with. We’ve also been seeing opportunities to bless the staff by having intentional conversations with them and asking about ways to support and pray for them too.As we continue our efforts here in Thailand, we hope and pray that any seeds planted would be cultivated by God to bring great revival in this country. And even though it may seem like small efforts, we know God has a greater plan to use us in whatever capacity He sees fit. We may not get to see as many students as last year, but our seemingly small conversations to one or two students could be multiplied by a God who knows far more and can do greater things through us and beyond.
There are many of us that are willing to do great things for the Lord, but few of us are willing to do little things. — D.L. Moody
Wednesday's happenings:
- We visited Doi Suthep in the late morning and climbed a ton of stairs to get up there!
- We began painting one of the classrooms, turning it into a blank white canvas. In turn, we may have inhaled quite a bit of fumes from the paint! It was literally a hot, sweaty mess.
- We found out that Nikki Leon is the Master of Games—winning at many “new” games played together. We’ve caught on to her antics and no longer believe she has ‘never played this game before…’
- Pray that we continue to rely on God's strength to get through each and everyday.
- Pray for our upcoming Worship Night at The Centre, we've invited the students we've met and even a few of them are inviting friends to join us!
- Pray for those sharing at our Worship Night. Two of us will share our stories of God's faithfulness in our lives recently. May it be received with open hearts, minds, and understanding despite the language barrier.
Kup koon krup! (Thank you!)
