Prayer Warriors!
We are aware that it has been a long time since we have written to most of you but we are coming to you to report that God has been working in many ways that we may not totally realize the stirrings that are happening. There are things that are happening that are hard to explain and yet God is using many things that are beyond our realm of experience and knowledge. We are seeing God open doors that were not open to us before.

We are hearing of people having dreams and visions then we are seeing people come to know the Lord in fairly consistent numbers. We were in one village over Christmas and saw 6 people come to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior, we went back in late January and we saw how those people accepting Jesus has made an impact on others. One woman who accepted Jesus went home and told her husband about Jesus and after a short while he accepted Jesus because of the difference that he saw in his wife's life. We had a team come over and we took them to this village to prayer and pass out tracts. This man and his wife were leading our team through different homes and telling the people to listen to them because what they are teaching can and will change your life. The team had the opportunity to pray at their house and the team noticed a shrine to Buddha and then on the other wall a cross. Upon seeing this the team were very confused so through sign language and gesturing they learned that the husband and wife worship in Truth and Spirit and their teenage sons have not yet made up their minds so they are allowing the kids to make up their own minds. I believe that it will not be long before the whole household will come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior. On that same trip we were passing out tracts and I had a police officer stop me and ask us what we were doing and he wanted to read a tract but at that time I did not have a tract in Thai only Burmese. I asked him to wait and I would get him a tract in Thai. The police officer was fairly high ranking and told me he was interested in knowing more about this truth.

While the team was here we also went to a Burmese school where the one in charge is Buddhist but he keeps inviting us back knowing that we are Christians. The thing that surprised us the most was our daughter taught the children a song praising Jesus at Christmas and they had practiced it and sang it back to us when we arrived.

God is always working around us, He just wants to use those who are willing to be obedient and faithful. He is not asking for those who have all the Biblical Knowledge to say" yes Lord use me". He is asking for those who want to be obedient. Our question to you is where is God asking for your obedience?

We count it all Joy,
