The perfect evangelism partner.

Mrs. Wan our pastors wife sharing about the beginning of the world

Showing how  and why God made us.

Why God put man on this earth and how sin separated us from fellowship with Him

Then God sent his son to save us.  This is Christmas.  In my family every Christmas we wake up early in the morning, gather around the Christmas tree with all the gifts all around and before we open one present, we read the story of Christmas from the Bible. After I shared the Christmas story I explained that we do this so we can remember the greatest gift ever given. God giving his son Jesus to be a man and to show us the way to be right with God and go to Heaven when we pass from this earth.  .   As an out pouring of our gratitude we prepare gifts to give to each other in celebration of this day. 

Another perfect evangelism partner, Mrs. Nipha sang with me a song I wrote that wraps the whole Christmas story into one song. 

When we finished our presentation, I asked Mrs. Namthan to share what happened to her last year as she sat way in the back row of this same room on this same celebration day and afterword she gave her life to Christ.  She talked about how much God has changed her life and how glad she is to be called a Christian. 

Finally each TCT worker received a gift.  A new jacket with our logo and the words of Jesus, "Come unto me all who are weak and heavy laden and I will give you rest." 

 

  It was a great day!  Today in our sharing time, my staff were all amazed that the ladies were so attentive while we shared the Gospel yesterday. Usually in our evangelism time at the center, they are very disruptive and don't really pay much attention.  But on this day, they were silent.  We know of one person who we will be visiting next week who may be ready to choose Christ.  She lives in an area where we are trying to start a church but still have no believers.    May the Lord bless it. 

  Two days before the program, I woke up very sick with a throat infection. I could hardly swallow, I had a fever, and my voice was strained  I was sure I would not be able to speak.  As I tried to find a replacement and all who I asked refused, I felt the Lord say to me.  "Let me take care of it.  Prepare to be there." 

  When I awoke yesterday morning, my voice was fine and my throat pain was minimal.  Glory be to God.
