"Everything"

"Got to know new staff friends"

The Blessing time: Global staff Conference in Orlando July 14-21

 Thank God for the blessed time at the Global staff conference. It was such a privilege to be there. And it was also my first time in America. I am so thankful to God for this opportunity.
So, what did I get from the conference? It’s hard to begin. The theme was “Everything” and I got Everything!!! But let me try to explain being giving a summary through the conference goals J

Refuel: My soul enjoyed and was encouraged through worship time by Laura Story and teaching from God’s word by John Piper, Frank Barker and Matt Chandler. All three men gave different sermons but there were the same purpose and that is For Glorifying God.

I got picture with John Piper!

Relationship: We enjoyed breakfast and dinner with different CO franchise teams from our consulting groups. They included Memphis, Indianapolis, Minneapolis, Lexington, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand. We had great fellowship as we shared and heard what God has done in their lives. We also prayed together for our teams. One of my favorites was learning and getting to know other international staff from Brazil and South Africa. We were even able to worship in non-English and non-Thai language.

Amazing that I met staff friends who were part of the CCP in Thailand years ago. I enjoyed and was so excited to meet them again in person. I still can’t believe it!!!

Refocus: I feel more equipped to serve Him. I am excited about our vision and I could not wait to come back to serve him. This was my high light and I have seen God confirm his calling me into my new role as a resource staff person. God has uniquely made me and called to serve in a unique way for glorifying Him.

I went to the seminar on Resource Identity, A Life giving team and about Counselor. I was encouraged to meet people who are serving in the same capacity as me.

“Everything we do, Move God Kingdom forward.”

With Resource staff friends.

Encouraging form our team:My30th Bday surprise!

Be a blessing to others: Traveling and Sharing in Atlanta, Ga. July 21-Aug 5

Praise God to use me to be bless to others. I thank God for Marc and Sherry Lewis who think and plan for me and Sano. We went to share what amazing things God has done in our lives and in Thailand. I had many great experiences in sharing in front of many people, in language that was not mine. Before sharing, I felt so nervous. I have learned to depend on the Holy Spirit and every time I shared I knew it was not me, but him.

We had the opportunity to share gospel with Thai people even we were not in Thailand!! She is a friend of Charleston staff women. We went to join their Summer Beach Project at Panama City beach.

Went to the SBP and shared
gospel with Thai friend.

Fun time at Disney World!!
Thanks friends for
supporting us to be there.

Thank God for Del and Kim Chapman who were our host family. They are super nice, sweet, served and thought for us with much love and care. We had great relationship and so encouraged to see how they love God and his words from their lives.

Also enjoy and had fun time at many places in Atlanta and visited friends who just have a baby in Wake forest, NC. It was so encouraging time with them and that town is a very peaceful place.

I thank God for “Everything”, For taking care of us in our travels, places to stay, people to meet, For his shepherding us, For protecting my health, For friends; How amazing is the love in the body of Christ, because we have the same one God, our Father I felt God use me and be blessed me so much in the States, even during travelling in the plane, I shared my faith with a Japanese woman. Thank God so much for using me for your glory.

Prayer request:     

• Strength and wisdom to think how can I serve Him well and to think for people in our team and for their needs.
•  My health: I still keep taking the pills for my Lupus and my kidneys.
•  Trust God for raising support both monthly and One-time gift. God will lead people to take part in His work and for His Kingdom.
• Please keep The Lewis and The Chapman family in your prayers. Thanks God for their love and serving hearts. Please pray for Kim, she is leading women bible study at her house. 

“Let Everything that has breath Praise the Lord!” 

Psalm 150:6

Everything we are….for His glory – our story, our vision/values, our distinctive, ect.

Everything we are doing….for His glory – on campus, individually, regionally, globally, ect.

Everything we have… surrendered to Him – this being our commitment.

What I enjoy the most now or what am I learning from God.

“Serving is a high calling”

It was hard for me in the first time when I was transfer from Campus staff to work in resource team. I felt I was not the part of ministry and not important and nobody had seen me what am I doing or serving them. It is work behind. But I was very wrong. When I want people see me what am I doing, it’s mean I was serving myself not God.  Want to see my own fruits and my successful not for God’s glory. God has shown and opened my eyes to see the truth and from the body of Christ who is encouraging to me.

Now I felt free from that lie what I believe and just focus on myself. I felt privileged even on campus staff for 5 years or now serving as a resource team.  It is Privileged God called me to serve Him in this role and to be humbling serving like Jesus. Serving is a high calling. Jesus came to this world for serving. I would like to be like him.  Now I am enjoy serving and would like to be His instrument and get ready whatever God desire me to do.

" For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."                       

                                                                                                      Mark 10:45

How am I doing?      " Walk by Faith"

             In the past year God used many situations to taught and increase my faith in Him so much. I would like to continue to learn about Faith more and more. So Walk by Faith is my theme this year! 

It was encouraging to me from Mathew 8:5-13 “The faith of a Centurion” He asks Jesus just only say the word and his servant will be healed. Jesus was surprised!!! And Jesus said “Truly I tell you, with no one in Israel have I found such faith” So I would like to learn to have faith in Jesus like the Centurion and I would like God will surprise and say to me like that too. Even I don’t know or many things are unseen now I will trust in God. I don’t know how is my future, my family, ministry, disciples or raising support going to be but I will put my faith in Him.
  

How am I with my disciples?       “Love like Marathon”                                                                 

                God has showed me his endurance and how He loves me so much through dicipling girls. I
have learned to lead them not only love but endurance love. I just think about the picture of marathon. “Love like Marathon” Because marathon runners need to be patient , use long time to go, use all your energy, motivate yourself and move forward to reach the goal! Same as to disciple the girls. We need to have enduring love, pray and wait until to see them grow up with Christ.

  

"Visited Yui'shometown"

My disciples are doing well and growing up.Now I am helping them to focus on their relationship with God and God is their master. It is hard also sometime; you know they just want to do what they want. But thank God for your grace for us. Please pray for them being rooted and grounded in His love. Ephesians 3:16-21

 

"Visited Khon Kaen school for the Blind"


How am I with non-believers? “Instrument of God”                                                                   

                The ministry is quiet and slow in this semester. I have not had many students to hang out with. But I try to go deeply and share the gospel with all the girls whom I follow up now. I felt discouraged because they seem not hear when I shared the gospel with them. From their perspective, knowing the Gospel was necessary for their lives. Oh God, lead me to share the gospel more and with the people who you provide for me, I would love to be your instrument. Please use me, I prayed to God like this. Praise God for his faithfulness. I had an opportunity to share the gospel with a freshmen girl named “Am”. Now, she would like to learn more about why Jesus is the only way to save her from sin. I gave her the Bible and suggested what books she should read. Please pray for God will open her eyes, her heart to see and touch the love of what Jesus did for her. Praise God for using me to be His instrument for the other life!

 

  

"Am" 

 

Please pray for: 

1.        I am seeking God right now for wisdom about how to serve Him in light of my health needs due to having Lupus.  Please pray that God would give me peace, and guide my directors as we discuss what role in CO is a good fit for me and allows me to take care of my body. 

 

2.       Kana, who I discipled for the past 3 and ½ years is going to be a CO staff with the CO Chiangmai team. I am excited for her and for what God is going to do in her life.  Please pray for her. She quit the job and going to join TSP on March then going to be a ccp in Malaysia for 3 weeks and after that prepares to move to Chiangmai and also her raising support.

 

3.       Thai summer project on March 11-31 here in Khon Kaen and the Thai ccp team to Malaysia on April 12-30!        So excited for 14 leader Christian guys and girls are going to do the ministry and share the gospel there.

Praying for TSP's students

Thai CCP'2013

 

4.       My raising support. For monthly support I still need to raise $ 300 more, and I especially need to raise $ 2500 one -time for the Global conference at Orlando in July is coming ( Trust God for 5-10 people for this amount).  I am learning to be blessing to others through raising support and hope the people who would like to be a part of what am I doing will be blessed too.

Please e-mail if you, or someone you know, is interested in supporting me monthly, or giving towards the one time need for the Global staff conference. 

Thank you so much for your love, prayers and support.

 

 

 

Share what I have learned from God:)

What are you thirsting for? 

As you know from the last month I sent you my prayer request about my health “Lupus”. I appreciate and thank you so much for your prayers. I would like to share what I have learned from the Lord through this situation with all of you.

First of all I learned about “Faith.” When I knew what was going to happen to me, I needed to get medicine injections for least 6 months to cure my kidney. I felt anxiety and as I thought further about this process, many questions came to my mind. What can I do or can’t I do? What is my personal ministry going to be?  Etc.  But I forgot to be still and know you are God. How is my faith in you?  I have helped my disciples to look up and fix their eyes on Jesus not the situation when they had hard time. And keep asking questions like: Do you believe God will take care of your life? Do you believe God will provide? Do you believe God is our shepherd? Do you believe our lives are in God’s hands? All theses of questions were turning back to me and made me realize and ask myself “Do I believe?” So this is such a sweet thing that God raised my faith in Him. And God gave me his peace, strength and readiness to face it.

Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love, for in you I trust.

Make me know the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul.

The 2^nd sweet thing, I have meditated on Psalm 143 and I have learned especially from the verse 8 about “Steadfast love of God” When you have a hard time, what are you thirsting for? (Have you ever asked yourself “Why me?” or deeply more than that you maybe ask yourself “Does God love me?”) I have seen David asking and praying for help from the Lord and he would love to hear God’s steadfast love more than anything, his soul thirsts for God, he meditates on all that God have done, he trusts and praises God when the situation seems really dreadful.

This was very touching to my heart. I have learned to hold steadfast love of God and I can trust in Him because God love me so much. I am really thankful for this hard thing again and God is making me grow up in my relationship with Him. I used to pray and ask God for take away this Lupus from my life. He can do it if he would love to but this time I felt wonder in my prayer. I pray to God, I would like God to keep this thing in my life because it makes me closer to Him, learn to be humble with Him and I will boast in all my weakness so that Christ’s power may rest on me. This suffering is very little thing and can’t compare with the “Hope” and glory of God that is coming!

God confirm His steadfast love to me.

God make me so special because of this suffering.

Without this, I am not special, not Honey!

  

  

Thankful for your always love, support and prayers.
