Open Doors in Isaan
After
a few hours of sleep, our team met at 10am to have breakfast, then a
time of prayer, seeking the Lord's face as to what He would have for us.
We basically came to Northeast Thailand in faith and obedience to the
Lord. We were told we would need to bring a translator. They all fell
through and we had no translator. We only had one contact of a
Pentecostal pastor who speaks only Thai. God began to give us some words
and pictures
.
We
rented motor scooters and prayed throughout the city, starting at the
Buddhist temple. Then we found an orphanage called, "The Tree of Life
Children's Center." There we met Roger and his wife. Roger has been here
since 1989 and built an orphanage in obedience to the Lord's call on
his life. He shared quite a bit with us. Then God just opened a huge
door for us through Roger to make plans to show the Jesus film at a
public school that he has helped fund the construction of. Then Roger took us to a
mountain where a huge idol overlooks the city of Buriram. We went there
and prayed for the region.
.
Then we connected with the Pentecostal pastor and were able to minister at his church as another pastor from 50km away came to translate for us. So after dinner our team went to his church and shared with them, prayed with them and for them. There was such a loud and amazing prayer time that we had together with these hungry and thirsty
Christ-followers. As the congregation lined up for prayer, Holy Spirit
fell and everyone was touched. Many receiving gifts of the Holy Spirit
through the laying on of hands. Hallelujah! Thank you, Lord for so many
open doors!
