Final outreach..


Final outreach

One of our teams worked with Karen people ( most of whom are from Burma ). They did a lot of dramas, teaching, preaching, as well as awesome activities with kids and teaching english...They also worked at a bible college and handycap house with victims of landmines and sickness!
Praise God that they are back safely now and that God used them in mighty ways!!

Ywam Conference Chiang Mai

We went to the Northern Conference in Chiang Mai! All the different ministries and ywam schools attended!
It was really good to meet so many new people and see what God is doing here in the North....We had lots of good prayer time,worship and sessions with Phil Porter sharing his heart for Thailand.
We had a prayer time where all the different hilltribe groups prayed for the thais because we want to see the thai people raise up.....
We hope to see all thai leaders in the future!!
 

This is the only white temple in Thailand.....Wat Rongkhun Chiang Rai....Incredible detail and a huge painting inside illustrating the good and evil in the world!!!

Golden triangle

I went to the Golden Triangle in Chiang Saen for the first time on monday. Its really beautiful there...You can see Burma, Laos and Thailand!

1 Peter 2: 9+10

1 Peter 2:9+10
But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people.You are a royal priests, a holy nation,Gods very own possession.As a result, you can show others the goodness of God,for he called you out of darkness and into his wonderful light.
Once you had no identity as a people;now you are Gods people.
Once you received no mercy; now you have received Gods mercy...

This is the theme verse for our Discipleship training school. I was asked to draw a picture that will go along with this verse...So i chose Gods people!! Our teams have been on outreach for over two weeks now, they are doing really well and will come back 10 July!
I have been meeting with a prayer counsellor, drawing, studying thai and reading lots of encouraging books..I will also attend a Northern Thai Ywam conference 3-6 July in Chiang Mai.

 Only love remains...


 Scenes of you come rushing through,
 You are breaking me down...                                                                                                                
 So break me into pieces that will grow in the ground
 I know that i deserve to die for the murder in my heart,so be gentle with me Jesus as you tear me apart...
 Please kill the liar, kill the thief in me, you know that i am tired of their cruelty..
 Breathe into my spirit, breathe into my veins until only love remains...
 You burn away the ropes that bind and hold me to the earth. The fire only leaves behind whatever is of worth.
 I begin to see reality for the first time in my life.I know that im a shadow but im dancing in your light...
 Teach me to be humble, call me from the grave, show me how to walk with you upon the waves..
 Breathe into my spirit, breathe into my veins until only love remains....

Good day!

Outreach is coming up and our teams will leave this weekend 7 and 8 June. One team will go to Isaan and Cambodia. The other will go to Mae Sot and further south. Both teams will be teaching english and doing construction work in refugee camps and at a childrens home.

I will not be going on this outreach. I have been struggling for a while with my calling and being here. Many issues from my past have been affecting me and i feel that its better for me and the team if i stay here in Chiang Rai and start working through stuff. I will meet with a counselor every week and she will be praying with me and helping me through this. I will also start with language study once a week and help to take care of things that need to be done at the base!!

Please keep me in your prayers during this time where i will be seeking God and trusting Him for greater freedom within myself.

- IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE THE WORLD, YOU HAVE TO BE CHANGED FIRST-

Thank you for all your support.
                  
                                     -Unfailing love-

                        When the darkness fills my senses
                        When my blindness keeps me from your touch
                                    Jesus come
                        When my burden keeps me doubting
                        When my memories take the place of you
                                   Jesus come
                        and ill follow you there to the place where we meet
                        and ill lay down my pride as you search me again
                        Your unfailing love over me again.......
                                                                                                 Lyrics.

RISE AGAINST.

Whats the point in knowing?
Whats the use in going on
If all you do is nothing?
What is it you're showing
To all the people looking on?
Leaving us with nothing
Just a voice with no sound
Whats holding you down?
Rise against! Rise up for what is right!
Stand alone
Are you willing to try?
Rise against! Stand up for what is right!
One man alone
Are you willing to die?
Whats the point in living?
Whats the use in moving on
If you keep pretending
like there's nothing wrong?
What is it you're giving
to all of us who wait and hope
for someone we can follow?
If You lead i'll go
But only you know....

Lyrics from P.O.D

AMAZED

Father in Heaven
im dancing like a child before You
 
beauty all around...
at last, im found
this joy within
all i want to do is sing
 
Youve picked up the pieces
You hold them in Your hand
You are putting them together
You say; i want you forever...
 
Why do You care so much?
just one touch
and im lost....
found in You
theres nothing i can do,
JESUS IM AMAZED BY YOU.
 
 

Many people, different places
I keep seeing their faces
 
Who will stop and care?
Turn my back, but who will go there...
 
We keep walking away
Thinking God will make a way
 
I will stop.
I will care.
I will go back there.
