Special Thanks!

Last June and July

            This was our first time for us that there were no CCP girls who came to NEU. It was challenging, but a great time for key Christian girls who are equipped to evangelize. Kade, Ice and Loogmee got to know with lots of freshmen girls and also they learned to depend on God.

            I want to thank God for “Wendy”. She is friend of one of KKU staff “Laura”. She came to visit and help us in ministry at NEU about 3 weeks. She really got along with students and was a really great person who found opportunities to share the gospel with students.

            Oh! And thank God for 5 ccp guy from Lexington who help to built interest and friendship with students. They helped to lead freshmen girls to join our activities too J

I thank my God every time I remember you.  In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now,  being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

The First Semester Ministry Update Part 2

What have I learned about disciple?

Friendly,Nam,LoogMee,Gip, Nong

Thank God for these girls and so privilege to take care of them. I am learning to lead, develop and care of them. But the thing I have learned the most is “Endurance Love” because they are so different and they have different areas to help with. So I need to depend on God ‘s wisdom and strength and pray about them to God. I would love to see them grow but they didn’t grow fast enough. I saw myself want to change and fix them. As I disciple them God also disciples me. God warn me how to disciple and love them through who they are in Christ not what they do.

“Endurance is about timing and waiting” I have learned many times when I bake with the girls. We need to wait and follow the time they tell us then we will get the yummy cake.

Or this example; I used to plant flower. But after about 6 months, there was no flower. I thought I waited for a long enough time but not at all. Then it bloomed!!! So worth the wait and lots of rejoicingJ.  From these situations I learned to put my hope in God about life on life with my disciples.

Endurance is the fruit of hope in the Lord!!!            

We give thanks to God always for you all, constantly mentioning you in our prayers, remembering before our God and Father your work of faith and labor of love and endurance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Thessalonians 1:2–3

Please pray for:

1.      Wisdom and strength to love and disciple these girls:

-          Gip & Friendly, they are 2^nd year. They became Christian about 1 year. They will grow deeply in relationship with God. 

-          Loogmee, 3^rd year. She got to know Christ about 2 years. Now she has her own ministry. Pray for her time with these students. They went to the retreat and she shared the gospel with them.

-          Nong & Nam,4 year. They are going to graduate. God will open their eyes to see His will.

2.       Joy, she prayed confess Christ last September 2011.Now she moved to study at her home town.

            Joy                                            First

1.      First, she prayed confess Christ last January. She seemed far away from the body of Christ. We met just one time in the beginning of this term but since then she has returned to some of her old sinful habits and we have lost contact.  Please pray for her to repent and be able to grow in Christ.

2.      My raising support. God will meet my goal by this year.  I am praying for one time gift and about $100 more a month in financial support.

Thank you so much for prayer and support.

 

The First Semester Ministry update / Part 1

How’s the Friends forever retreat in September 2012?



We just finish our retreat at Khoa Yai last September 1-3.  41 students went with us, there were 16 guys and 25 girls. We focused on making deep relationships with them and the purpose was making interest and let them think about the question: “Who are they?” We watched the video and had discussion group about: Who are we? Where do we from? Do you believe you are God’s creation? They have no idea about God creating them before. These made them think more about their lives. Many of them want to learn more about God and some of them are still confuse and some didn’t believe.

My high light was the Christians students who shared about God with non believers who stayed in the same room. And they also had responsibilities for activities too. They did a good job for MC, games and skit but need to develop in some area to help them do betterJ

Please pray for:

1.      Please pray for these 2 girls. They are sisters. Their names are Yui and Oui. They study Computer Engineering, 3^rd and freshmen year. They went to the retreat with us. I am really excited because they are interested in God. They really opened their hearts and shared lots what they think. They thought Buddhism can’t help and change them and they believe God exists. Now they would like to learn more about God.

2.      Bom and Miw. They are freshmen accounting girls. They are interested in reading the Bible.

3.      And please continue to pray for Nuch and Pui. We study bible for 2 times. I felt that they understand God just for knowledge. They said “they felt good that Jesus die for them but they seem not realize about how awful of the result of sin.  Please pray God will open Himself to them.

4.      My raising support. God will meet my goal by this year. I am excited about this. It is going well and I pray and waiting for my ccp friends who help with this. I am praying for one time gift and about $100 more a month in financial support.

Thank you so much for prayer and support.
