After (DTS Workshop) Maesot

Wow…this month really goes so fast and it’s almost the end of the month. I came back from the DTS workshop and really praise God for it, because it really helps me to feel like be more ready for this coming DTS. The speakers who came really give a lot of insight and knowledge about DTS, how to run it and how important it is for DTS students to get the most out of what God has for them… But right now things started to get crazy with preparation for YWAM AP conference that coming to Chiangmai on the 31st of August – 3rd of September. Even though I do not have much responsibility but it seems to me that I still get so exciting especially I hard that there would be more than 500 people attend the conference.
Please keep this in your prayers as well, right after AP conference, it would be U of N (University of the Nation) conference from the 3rd – 9th September then our DTS is starting on the 10th of September. Please pray for God’s grace and wisdom for my staffs and I, to go through all of these events. Please pray for divine appointment that I would be able to meet key people during this time, I believe God has set this significant event for special time. Pray also for our DTS students that coming to our school very soon.
In Christ’s love

Vision,God given

Vision,God given
As I come to realization that Thailand has the gospel for more than 200 years but why it is still consider unreach nation with the Christian less than 1.5 % in the whole country.I found some answers of some questions that I had. Why majority of Christianity is located in only big city like bangkok, chiangmai, Chiangrai and only few others but most of 76 provinces in Thailand are still remain unreach? Because big cities had missionary came to them and stay among them long before, and many people int eh city pray for their cites. ..Why the Thai church do not do anything? The truth is they already do their job, but "the harvest is plentiful but the workers is so few" How could we get more workers? + They need to here the need. How the Thai will stand up and take their place in the nations? got to have somebody take a stand and start something, could I be that one? Is it true that Thailand is so rich in natural resources till they do not need God. That the lie of the enemy to blind them from the truth. Why the Thai people consider Christinity is for the poor and needy but for them still remain prideful with their saying that they do not need God. Because most of the mission work in the past focusing on the hill tribes, slums, remote places with the minority groups, not the Thai.

* Want to see the Mobilization Team happen in Thailand
* “Mobilization Team” could be a person or group of people who will help others people or church to know the alternative channel in their ministry – to come up with the new strategy – idea for evangelism, teaching and disciple the new believers to be mature Christian.
* I would like to be a mediator to connect Thai – churches and YWAM or churches internationally working together.
* This team will be a mediator between churches in every denomination and YWAM or nation wide churches working hand in hand together without barrier.
* The churches will be energize to evangelism and invite people in every genders every type to church without blaming them but give them chance to know the love of Christ.

* The young Thai Christian will step up and take their place in the nation in the Great Commandments not only reach out to their fellow Thai friends but also the neighbor nations.
* Want to see them catch vision that God has for the Thai.
* Want to see them get training weather DTS or any kind of training to prepare them to serve the Lord and be mature in their Christian lives.
* Want to see young Thai Christian change perspective about Christianity and on fire for God.
* Want to see every group of people in the Thai society come to the Lord

* Young people

o I believe the young people are the key to change the nations as well, because if they growing up with the knowledge of the one true God they could lead the nations to the fullness that God has plan for them.
o The native are also the main key need to be reached in every way, they know the language, culture and people better than the foreigners but they also need to see the good example from Christian all over the world to show them God’s love.
(This is where coffee shop is now coming and need God to carry on and give wisdom how to do it.Because I want to create a safe place, another hang out place for the young people to come in and meet God, instead of going to bars, the coffee shop would be nice and relax place where they can come in to hang out and do their home work, sit and talk to friends...it will provide warm atmosphere...not too Christian but it will be place they like )

* Business man
o They are the most influential people who could change the face of the earth by economy. They are the middle class people who can connect the upper level of people and the lower. They are easy to access but very few of them know God.
o I believe that the Lord allow me to get degree in business for a purpose, when the right timing comes, I believe He will use it for His good. I also am praying so much about this channel – some how the Lord will open the door for me to serve the business world.
(This is where Lighthouse Excursion come in the picture, as i would like to reach out to the business world through this company. For sure, this will take me to come in contact with many business people in the business world, such as hotels workers, drivers, tourist attractions workers, even the church members all over the country that, this company will get connected with. Then it would be another channel to reach out to the Thai in the remote part of Thailand as well. Each team that come and join this biking prayer tour, they will be able to make a difference in any places they go to, and invite churches in Thailand to join in reaching out to their neighbors, and the team will be able to spend time at the new places start from the north of Thailand and hopefully they can go all over Thailand)

Thailand and South East Asia countries need to hear the gospel – in every tongue and tribes even the remote part of the world need to hear the Good News. Each of us needs to take action in our part and use our talents to success all His plans.

August has come and it’s almost getting to the half of the month….and yes…many kind of challenging ahead of me … I praise God for the YWAM Thailand national conference during the 1st – 4th of August, it really something that God again refreshed me with the message. The theme was “Journey” so it was overall time of reflex of what had happen in YWAM Thailand in the past and the journey we will take together in the near future. It really confirmed to me something the Lord has been speaking with me lately. God really confirm to me that the journey I am on is the right one and he is in control. Even though my human mind cannot fully understand but in the end God will be glorify. The path that each of us take, it might over lap with other people who already have walk this way before us and also there will be a lot more people will follow after us and lead the way ahead of us. The speaker at the conference is Mr. Ian Muir is the international director of YWAM so according to his experience in YWAM and in the mission field in Africa many years really encourage me so much.
August is the crazy month for me and my staffs, after the national conference we come back to Chiangmai to help prepare for YWAM Asia Pacific and U of N workshop in early September, plus we still need to prepare for our DTS classes as well. But on the 14th – 24th this month my DTS staffs and I, we will go to Mae Sod which would be another province 5 hours away from Chiangmai to do DTS workshop which the team who in charge of DTS classes international would come and teach us more about how to staff DTS. I believe it would be good time to learn and plan more together and spend lots of time as a team more. There would be DTS staffs from Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar come together and seek the Lord together and we hope to improve it more so that our DTS school would be life changing time for all of our students.
Please continue to pray for our school staffs, right now we have 7 staffs + 2 of our directors (family) and now we have one couple who is YWAM Chiangmai staffs that willing to help us part time with our foreigners students. So that’s really take some stress out of me, we believe it would be good. God is doing new things in our school and in each our staffs as well. There are 3 new fulltime staffs and 1 couple that we need God to make them fill part of the team, as we believe God wants us to work as a team… our Thai staffs (6 of us) still have struggle with financial support but we all believe this is the time God is leading us to serve in the school. So we also believe that God will provide. Financial thing is always big challenge, and for me because I might not able to work part time anymore, so that would bring little stress to me. I am so thankful to some of you who have been faithfully walked with me all these years, even though it is not much but that really encourage me to be here today. Thank you for believing in me. And to some of my new friends who just starting to know me, I would like to invite you to be part of my team in this ministry God is calling me to, whether in prayers and financial support. And you can be part of this journey I am taking and see lives change through our corporation. You can support me by prayers and financial and I will do that work, to be your hand and feet. May God be the glory.
Your extension to Thailand and the nations.
