Well, I thought tonight would be a good night to tell you about Arm's sister, Eff. She has been interested in God even before Arm and I met. She would pray to God (as many Thai people do before the accept Christ) and she has seen Him answer her prayers many times. Two weeks ago, she went on a trip to help around a temple for 7 days and she paid respect to a spirit house every day. During 5 of those 7 days, she had bad dreams. She only shared 3 of her dreams with us, but they had her pretty frightened. In her first dream, she went inside a spirit house and saw the spirits doing traditional Thai dancing and Eff joined them. Then, the spirit turned and looked at her and said "Don't come and make merit or ask me for anything because I won't forgive you". The second dream was about a tiger chasing her, which in Thailand it means someone will come and harm her. She also had one more dream similar to the tiger dream. Something was chasing her and Thais believe if they have that dream, someone will harm them.
She called Arm last Sunday night and while I was listening to the phone call, it sounded out of the ordinary. Arm just listened to her for awhile, and then said something that perked up my ears. He said, "Eff, you have to choose God or Buddhism". He then proceeded to read a few passages of Scripture to her and told her if she trusted God, God would protect her and she wouldn't have any bad dreams anymore. He continued to share about God's work in his own life and she finally decided to accept Christ.
The next day, Arm called a Christian lady, who is a friend of his and goes to our sister church, in Khon Kaen (the city his sister goes to school in) and asked her to call his sister and find a mentor for her.
Arm talked to his sister this past Sunday. She has been reading her Bible, she hasn't paid respect or looked at spirit houses, and Arm's friend called her once, but she doesn't have a mentor yet and she didn't go to church this past Sunday because she says she doesn't know where it is. She also said all of her bad dreams are gone. Praise God!
Please pray that she will continue reading the Bible, find a way to church, tell her parents, and that God will provide her with a mentor and Christian friends in her school. Also, please pray for Arm and Eff's parents that they will accept Christ. Thank you for all of your prayers and support. God is working through them. May God bless you and keep you.
