Next steps after iDTS-2007
Time fly so quickly just like they have wings of eagles.
International Discipleship Training School in Chiangmai is finished by the grace of God. It seems like the school just started not too long ago and now I am done with it. Again… I always able to praise God and thanks Him for all the works he has done in the school. Both staffs and students we all cannot denied that we have seen God working miracle. One thing I could say that to be a school leader is not easy… I really had to yield so much to the Lord and need to cried out to Him over and over again. It’s great honor I got from the Lord that He allow me to do this job, even though many times I felt so out of it and felt like I could do nothing. When I saw the students stubble and not willing to learn and change, I got so discouraging, but when the graduation night came, we all felt it was not our ability to do that but everything working out because of God alone.
One of my students, came from a broken family and she hardly open herself to us, staffs much and tried to put on the mask make us think everything is perfect with her, and she was resisting God. The Lord has challenging me to reach out to her and help to draw her out from her comfort zone, it took me almost 2 months to try to make friend with her and talk and reaching out to her at the place where she was at. Finally, God is working, and she told me later on that because I had that quality time with her, help her to came out and felt God’s love for her much more. Before that, she said she know God is love and he love everyone, but to think God loves her is something too good to be true. But through out DTS she is now having confidence in the love of God and she said from now on she is able to face anything because she knows that God is with her always.
After DTS, I have couple weeks off and have sometimes alone with God and seeking Him for direction… I am praying more and more about reaching out to Thai people, Thai churches and ministries that already exists in Thailand. I am also praying more about take off with the tour business, but this tour company would not just a tour to take tourist to tourist attractions, but it would be a tour that give people who join the tour with new meaning of life, and let them have authentic experience with local people. To live and learn from the local Thai people, and to feel how the Thai feel and to work along side the Thai so that they will be able to find out for themselves what they really like and how to go about it. I believe God can work in every situations and all kind of environment and through that God will speak and touch people more. Then, I hope to see both the teams and the Thai will be touched be God.
I am praying about going to Norway and Finland during April and May. For a long time that I would like to go to Finland to share with the Finn people and to appreciate all they have done for me. My missionary mother who came from Finland has brought great hope in my life, for me to be who I am today is by the grace of God and His mercy. I would like to go over to Finland to testify how good God is to me and the prayers and supports they had invested in me is now time to bear much fruits. God has arranged this for me through the friends that came from Norway last year has invited me to go to Norway to visit them and observe the work of God they are doing over there and hope to learn and share with Norwegian more as well about Thailand and how they can get involve. So when the door open for me to go over to Norway, I am really pray that this would be appointed time to go to Finland, one of the dream country I would like to visit since I was very young age.
Please pray:
• That God will open the door to meet with the key people in business and in ministry around the northern region of country.
• That, he will bring in young people who are ready to go out for Jesus.
• That, if God would open the door for tour business He will give me clearly direction and timing.
• Family back home will come to know Christ.
• That I would be able to get visa to Norway and Finland.
• I would have enough financial that needed when I go to Norway and Finland.
