Faith’s Reproduction

Recently I took a trip up north to visit our TCT centers in Nan city and Chaing Klang.  It was a wonderful trip with many God planned encounters that have given me a smile in my heart and a spring in my step.   One story I just have to share.

  In Chaing Klang I have a small group of women working on some sewing projects like hand bags and weaving projects.  About a year ago, Wanpen, my group leader was pouring her soul into witnessing to a very distressed neighbor who had begun doing some piece work for us.   Wanpen felt Khun E (we will call her)  needed more time to hear the Good news.  She asked if we could hire Khun E to work at the center all day instead of doing piece work at home. This way her husband would allow her to be there longer.  I dug up some special work for her and we put Wanpen’s evangelism  plan into action.  Soon after, Khun E gave her heart to Christ.  Her husband would not allow her to go to church at first but she was hungry to learn as much as she could so she sometimes snuck out to go to church.  She came to our storying seminar this past January and began learning how to study, tell, and find the treasures in God’s word.  Her heart began to change in many ways.  She stopped being so frightened and timid.  Her whole countenance changed.  Then she began to pray for her husband at night after he was asleep.  Sometimes she  even lays her hands on him and prays for his ailments.    God used those times to make himself real to Khun E.    Soon her husband’s attitude began to change and he allowed her to go to church.  Last weekend he allowed her to attend a training event for evangelism in Chaing Mai with Wanpen.  One day we hope Khun E’s husband will know God too.

 Sitting next to Khun E every day at the center is Khun Nan.  Now she is sharing her faith with Khun Nan and her heart is slowly softening toward the Gospel just like Khun E’s did. 

 It has been several months since I visited the Chiang Klang center.  When I got to the center a few days ago, I hardly recognized Khun E.  She met me with a bright smile and a beautiful Sawadi.   I thought she even looked younger. (maybe from so many of her burdens being lifted).  What a joy to see God make such a difference in this woman’s life.  I am so grateful to have the venue of TCT to reach people for Christ.  I am praying her husband will find Christ through the quiet loving touch of his wife’s prayers.
