Slum Ministry
This
morning a handful from our team walked to one of the Tamar centers to
assist YWAM in their ministry to the poor in the slums of Pattaya. We
met their staff and then led some worship songs in English and Thai as
the poor gathered inside the ministry center. Then Lonnie spoke to them a bit and we had a time where they could come for prayer .
Our team prophesied over them and we saw the Holy Spirit really touch
each of them. One man, formerly a transvestite who had already come to
Christ there in the past was baptized in the Holy Spirit and began
speaking in tongues as we prayed for him. It was such a neat time of
ministry.

We
had a team meeting at Hard Rock Cafe and enjoyed fellowship with
eachother. We discussed what IRIS Ministries in Thailand would look like
in the future. Then our team had dinner with a group from Xtreme Prophetic .
I was able to connect with Rob Hotchkin, who my friend Bart Hadaway had
connected me with before I left for Thailand. What a great guy. On our
way back to the hotel we heard about the 8.9 earthquake in Japan and our
hearts broke. Yonnie, who is co-leading our team is also the director
of IRIS Taiwan, Asia and IRIS Relief. She called Heidi and Rolland to
get the okay for some of the team to fly to Japan from Thailand as a
"first response" team.
