Wednesday

Today not much going on.  Just trying to plan our next 3.5 months.  Booked flight to Philippines from Dec 3 to January 10.  Notified cousin and Aunt / Uncle that we're coming.

We waited for the owner to come by at 5pm but OT is keeping him from coming and patching up the kitchen wall. 

I worked on this poster that I plan on bringing to Samui and sharing with the foreigners, especially many Australians who believe in Darwinism.

Received the flood poster.  It turned out great... We plan on getting a lot of mileage out of this in Philippines especially, but even here in the universities throughout Thailand.

Thanks for praying for Jim, the elderly deaf man.  He has a flight to leave and go back home to Australia on Tuesday.  Fang was able to get him help to get him back to the airport.

We got the bad news from Cristina (our missionary friend in Chiang Rai) that she won't be able to afford the flight to get to bangkok so she can't take the long trip to Samui with us by bus.  Bummer. 

We watched a great movie called Evan Almighty.  We had seen it a few times before, but right now, where we are at, when there are slow days followed by exciting days, followed by a realization time is ticking ticking ticking, and as we are walking in obedience to something we don't know will be the end result, the movie was a special encouragement to Tammy and I.  I could relate to how in the movie Evan relates to God, and some of the funny things that happen in that movie are something silly I would go through as the Lord called me to do something.  I really LOVE that movie. 

Please pray for Tammy and I to be effective.  Suchia is asking if she can take her to her home with to meet her mom and dad, and to pray for her and her son who is struggling with drugs.  It's actually a big opportunity for salvation to come to that home.  It is actually a special time where a door is wide open, because Suchia is so busy, but she's willing to close the shop to make a special day for us to visit her home.  I delayed our trip to Samui (I was contemplating leaving early because it's a grueling bus ride reaching 8-10 hours) to take advantage of tomorrow.  Would you pray that it is a special time for that family all to hear the gospel and to respond to it before its too late for them all.

The scripture says: 

Daniel 12  Prophecy of the End Time1 “At that time Michael shall stand up,

The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people;
And there shall be a time of trouble,

Such as never was since there was a nation, Even to that time.

And at that time your people shall be delivered,

Every one who is found written in the book.

2 And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, Some to everlasting life,

Some to shame and everlasting contempt.

3 Those who are wise shall shine

Like the brightness of the firmament,

And those who turn many to righteousness

Like the stars forever and ever.

Romans 10:9-11 (New King James Version)

9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.”[a]


Thanks for praying, love

Alex and Tammy
