In Thailand, there is a cultural mantra: "To be Thai is to be Buddhist." So in a country that is completely covered with Idols, statues, and temples with humans putting their money, time and hope into, the gospel of Jesus Christ is good news! I just heard recently that if a Buddhist accidentally kills a mosquito (which may actually be a re-incarnated ancestor), that have to do penance for 3 weeks! how amazing is it that our glorious God who actually answers prayers is the one that offered the sacrifice for us? The bible says that Jesus made himself nothing, coming Heaven down to Earth, being made in human likeness and dying for us! God came into our neighborhood and showed us His love! Wow! And the coolest part is that all we have to do for a relationship is repent, receive His love and live our lives to be like him! How great is our God!
Another reason I like the verse above is because of who we're working with. We've been able to work with King's Kids, a ministry inside of YWAM. We've been going into a local slum and teaching the bible, praying for people, sharing the good news and doing mercy ministries like fixing houses. We were just recently told that the King's Kids team in Thailand is actually moving into the slum that they work at, just because God told them to! So inspiring!I hope you all are stirred to move into your neighborhood with the love and Good News of Jesus Christ!
If anyone would like to help me and the team, you can agree with God's heart in the following areas:
- On monday the 12th we are doing an open air evangelism presentation
- The christians in the biggest university in the world
- The thai YWAMers and christians
