"Only Ask and I will give you the nations as your inheritance" Ps2:8
A New Well of Life for Bethel!
Jesus said. “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again,
but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed,
the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling
up to eternal life.” (John 4:13‐14)
We thank God for the new well that has just been installed at
church. No more washing dishes in dirty brown water. No more
parasites! All our stomachs say, “hallelujah!” The well is a
prophetic picture to us that God wants his church to stop drinking
contaminated “spiritual water” and seek Jesus alone for all that
we need.
"Lord God, thank you for satisfying us completely! Father, we ask that our new Thai and Burmese believers would be so full of your Holy Spirit that neither drinking, gambling or other lusts would entice them anymore. Just like Jesus responded when he was tempted, we decree ”be gone Satan!”
You have no authority anymore in the life of God’s children. In Jesus’ might name, Amen!"
God is our Strong Tower
“So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him” (Acts 12:5)
On December 27, something very frightening happened to one of our believers. As Som left her house to go and clean the church, she was attacked by two men. They
punched her, threw her to the ground and stomped on her back. She knew they
were going to rape her. She cried out to God for help. She saw a metal shovel near
her. She grabbed it and hit her attacker over the head! The shovel cut his head
open. When they saw the blood, THEY started to cry out for help! You’ll never
believe what happened next: They ran and reported her to the police! Som suffered
a lot bruising and internal bleeding but with lots of prayer and help of her new
“God Family”, she is healing well.
Last week one of our new Burmese believers was arrested and put in jail (think
Thai jail... only rats and a dirty floor). He was falsely accused of killing a man. He called his wife crying and asked us all to pray. We all prayed earnestly. Thankfully, after 2 days, Loong was released! However, once the word spread into the Burmese community, our believers were too scared to come to our evangelism seminar. We knew this was a tactic of the enemy to keep our Burmese believers from going out and sharing their faith.
"Father, we thank you that you are our Strong Tower! We ask the Holy Spirit to give our Thai and Burmese believers boldness and courage. We ask that they would not shrink back from loving you even in the face of intimidation and assault."
No matter what comes against God’s people, nothing can stop the Gospel from going forward! Amen?
We are rejoicing with the angels that 30 people have made commitments to Christ in the last 4 days!
We thank God for the Trek Team and Reg Toews from DMI who went out and shared the message of Christ’s love with our Thai and Burmese believers.
We are ecstatic that the Gospel has born fruit in two new completely unreached villages. Our new Believers who went with us said, “Impossible! Those people are way too angry!” But God was not intimidated! O.K. that doesn’t mean we weren’t ... one lady yelled, “get out!” really loud the first day. But the second day, she followed the team and prayed to receive Jesus Christ as her Lord and
Savoir! Ha! Only God’s power can do that!
Another highlight was a young 18-year old man named “Aun” who accepted Christ Saturday. Sunday, he came to church and loved it! He told us he didn’t want to go home so we brought him along with us into a Burmese factory. By the end of the day he had helped us lead 9 Burmese workers to Jesus! This young man has been catapulted into the Kingdom of God and now he is on fire to save souls! He will never be the same. Please pray for all Aun’s friends- they are next on our radar!
Thank you for all your prayers and financial support!
Love,
Dave & Louise
Guitars Needed!
Do you have any second-hand guitars or other instruments that you don’t use anymore?
We have a vision to raise-up worship leaders for our new cell groups in the factories.
Send us an email if you can help in any way! Thanks!
