From Dave and Louise SP

Dear Friends and Family,

Thank you so much for all your prayers for us last week! We sure needed them!

On the day of our baptism we nearly had a funeral instead of a party. Pote, was at the church during the day putting up lights, when he accidently touched some wet ground that had a live current flowing through it. Our members were wondering where Pote had gone when they saw him rolling on the ground, being jolted with 220 volts! Thankfully our believers turned off the power in time. There were lots of jokes after that about being baptized with power from on high!

Your prayers were also powerful and effective in Mr. Chin’s life. The week preceding his baptism, “all hell broke lose” with problems, conflicts and crises following Chin everywhere he went. But by God’s grace, Chin stayed the course; He kicked his life long smoking habit! Praise God! The smile on his face at his baptism and his gratefulness for the cross of Christ and his Salvation brought cheers down in God’s house!

After all the B-----se Believers saw the baptisms and understood its symbolism, they excitedly asked, “when can we be baptized?” So we will have a B------se baptism on December 15! Please pray that they would be completely confident that the evil spirits of their animistic beliefs are powerless compared to the radiant, glorious, power of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords!

And if, we didn’t have enough to celebrate already, last week Sunwest Church from Calgary put up the most amazing playground in the poor local school right near our church. The love of God and the love of the church was clearly seen by all our Thai neighbors! Thank you Sunwest!
Don’t forget to take a look at the photos on this blog!
