Practicing Evangelizing

Arm's been doing a great job with his "Growth Group". It's a group of students who have come to Christ within the last year. He taught them about the Bible and who Jesus is so that they'll know their faith and what they believe well so they can communicate and share with other people. Now, this past term he moved towards sharing with friends and people around them. He's taught them how to share the gospel and how to ask people if there's anything they can pray for.

The pictures below are from the students I was with. I'm sorry they're not close up, but I didn't want to scare the people the students were hanging out with.



Nicky and Ple were playing basketball with three other kids and I sat down and talked with their mom. Sadly, there weren't a lot of people in the park because it had rained. However, we simply wanted to build a relationship, so the students played basketball while I made small talk with the kids mom.



I did ask the mother if there was anything I could pray for her about (in Thai), but she thought I was asking her to convert to Christianity. I explained to her that I simply wanted to help her by praying for her and that I was not asking her to be a Christian and explained what it meant to pray, but I didn't want to push her to share things with me. We spent about 30-40 minutes with these people. We hope to see them again as they come often.

This is the second time these students did this. They went to Kasetsart University the week before to do this as well. It has given the students more confidence in sharing their faith and God has used Arm to equip these students to share their faith clearly and well.

This week, we're going to a camp from the 22-24. Several churches are going on one camp together, so it will be a good time. Will post pictures and information when we get back. Then, from the 25-27/28, Arm and I will be on vacation at a place called Lake Heaven. We're excited about it! Our bungaloo floats on the water and Arm's looking forward to fishing. There's also kayaks and other activities for us to do. It will be nice to get out of the city and enjoy the good deal we got on a fun vacation :D.

May God bless you all and we thank you for your encouragement and support. Feel free to drop us notes and updates about you as we LOVE reading them!
