News from the Salaa at Chachoengsao

It hardly seems possible that only a few short months ago we were meeting with only a handful of believers sitting on the floor of a broken down house. God has blessed us with many new "babies" (in Christ), and a beautiful building on the "khlong" (canal).

Here is a normal Wednesday night adult worship service: Our church is known here as the FUN church, as you can see from these pictures. Thai people love to laugh, and God has given these new ones of His alot to rejoice in.



We have started having Sunday services here now (2 times so far). We have everyone together for worship time, then bring the children out under this tree for Sunday School. When the rainy season comes (usually May through October) we will need to move into a house.



Our first Sunday service here was the day after Valentines day. 72 people came to hear about the Love of God! It was a great time of worship and fellowship.


Then in February we hosted a DMI team (Disciple Makers International) who came and taught our new believers how to share their new faith with their friends and family. The TREK team received the training too and for several days we went around and shared the good news with anyone who would listen. During that time, something like 8 or 10 people put their faith in Christ!
Here 2 workers in a factory close to our home are praying to receive Jesus as their Saviour! We have friends in this factory who are interested in studying the Bible and learning English.

Please keep praying. God is blessing us in so many ways!!
