Visit to a New Shan Village

Apart from the Bible Club held on Saturday mornings with the Suan Luang kids and Sunday afternoons with the Nam Jam kids, I had the opportunity to visit a new Shan village futher down from where we live yesterday evening with Sam & Motu.

This village only has 5 families living there. Visits to them are made every Monday. The families staying there are mostly new migrants, so the women are only able to speak Shan.
Over there, Motu teaches the women to read and speak Thai.
I had the opportunity to teach the children simple English.

Sam does Bible Study with the new Christian. (The guy in the middle) He lives in that village and opens his house for the Monday meetings.The guy in the red jacket had expressed interest in Christianity, after he observed how Christians treat women and children with respect. However, when he shared with his family members about it, he was faced with much persecution from them. Thank God after much prayer, he turned up for the meeting yesterday, after skipping last week's.
Sam managed to share the Gospel with him yesterday.

Some things you can pray for them:
1) Pray for the families living in this village.
2) Pray that what had been shared will grow in the interested guy's heart.
3) Also pray for courage to face up to the persecution that he may face from his family members should he accept Christ.
4) We have also invited the children to attend the coming children's camp from 20-22 Oct. Pray that they will come, and that God word will be sown in their hearts.
