Sunday service

This Sunday was a very long day but another really rewarding one. I preached the morning service at Immanuel Baptist Church, and then I got to spend the rest of the day with my friends from that church.



I preached on Mark 4:35-41 where Jesus stills the storm on the Galilee. Ahjan Winit translated for me. He is a man who practices what he preaches. Thailand is blessed to have him as a leader in the church.

In the afternoon, I got to go with Terry and Ahjan Vee to a new slum where they have been working for 2 years. It never ceases to amaze me how many slums there are here. The children there were SO excited to see the group.



I got interrogated by the children. One of the little girls asked me why I was a farang (white man) but I could speak Thai. I told her that I was a student and studied Thai in a school. She said, "it must be a big school."

I then traveled with the team to our usual Sunday evening ministry site at the Baring Slum community. As is our custom there, we ended the evening with a meal and then a time of worship. God draws very near during those times.
