So while we were at ACTS waiting on The Lord for Thailand, Uganda & Kenya, multiple people had similar visions and impressions about our team worshiping and praying on a high mountain. That this would be one of the strategies we’ll use in Thailand.
We held onto the vision and kept in our team’s binder. Although we did not pursue it, the strategy pursued us. Just this past Saturday, our new friends Wiwat and Chu Chat from Every Home for Christ suggested that we go up to this one mountain in Thailand to pray and worship.
We drove for about 2 hours to arrive on a mountain, which was known as “The Highest Point” in Thailand. God didn’t just orchestrate it so that we can go up to a mountain, but the highest point in Thailand to lift His name on high. We worshipped in the rain as we prophesied an outpouring of His Spirit over Thailand. There were some tourists that walked by and took pictures of the group of “Fa Rang Ba” (crazy foreigners), our new name. Oh yea, crazy for Jesus. :) After worship and prayer, we headed down the mountain to a Hmong Village to do home to home evangelism and distribution. We split into groups and went throughout the village.
Highlight of the village:
Alanna, Theresa, a Thai translator and Amy went towards a community of houses, saw bananas outside of a house so we decided to stop by and buy some. The moment they stopped by, little kids started approaching us.
As the children started coming one by one, we felt it was the perfect opportunity to share the gospel. So we told them to gather around for a story. Alanna shared a quick story about Jesus, The Fathers love and the Helper, the Holy Spirit. God was already marking some as she shared the story. We then told the kids to wait on the Holy Spirit to reveal Jesus to them. After a few minutes, we asked who wants to know Jesus as their friend and Father? All 16 children raised their hands. So we all held hands with the kids and invited Jesus into our hearts. Heaven partied hard that day! God’s presence was so tangible there and we finally understood when Jesus said “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them. For to such belongs the kingdom of heaven. And He laid His hands on them and went away.” Matt 19:14-15
Come on!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! The mountain reminds me of Mount Sinai when Moses went up and was able to see into God's throne room and even invited up to be with God. SO beautiful. :) Praise the Lord yall did it in the rain and even got a sweet name for it!
This story about the children is so precious, I love it! Would have loved to been there and see ti. But great way of writing it. Truman, how do you know what to say to children? What stories will make them understand Jesus? I would love to hear about it when you have time. :)
Bless you cuz! :)
