We recently called on all of our Prayer Partners to please pray for Camp Logos on Wednesday (13th), Thursday (14th), and Friday (15th). Today is the last day of camp so please keep praying even after the camp is done but we did want to say God has heard your prayers and was moving in a mighty way last night. At the end of our time of worship at Camp Logos led by Gahn last night, 6 Thai people (that I know of, maybe more) gave their hearts to Jesus and now have their names written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.There were about 20 people who came up for prayer but at least 6 of them were taken through the “steps to peace with God” and surrendered their hearts to Jesus.
The Bible says that the angels in heaven rejoice over one person who repents and turns to God in faith. Last night at least 6 Thai young people turned to God in genuine faith. Your prayers played a part in that process. Please keep praying as we seek to reach and train a new generation of authentic followers of Jesus here in Northern Thailand.
Shortly after the camp is done, we will do a video and update for you but wanted you to be able to rejoice with us along with the angels in heaven over these new brothers and sisters in Christ today.
Today is a special day for another reason for us because on July 15, 2016, we sent out a request for pray and a message that informed everyone that we were in the process of purchasing the land that God has now given us. God has blessed us with an awesome multi-purpose building that we have named “The Lighthouse Learning Center (LLC)” or “The Lighthouse” as we call it. I am sitting in my office in this building this morning writing this update. This LLC building belongs to God and is now the home for Baan Athitaan Church (BAC), Grace Language School (GLS), and Channel of Blessing Foundation (which is the legal sister foundation in Thailand for NTIM).
Praise God for God’s leadership and provision and for all the awesome partners all over the world (but especially in the USA) that God has called to work together to make disciples of Jesus in and around Northern Thailand. This part of God’s world is where some of the least reached people groups in our world today live in darkness with little or no light of Christ and where many that we see come to Jesus are the first person in their entire family to become a follower of Christ. We recently had a building dedication and will send out an update on that as well in the coming days.
Thank you for joining God in what He is doing in and around Northern Thailand through your prayers, through your giving, through sending us as your representatives, and through your coming on mission trips. We are now ready and able to receive mission teams now that the pandemic is mostly behind us.
May God be glorified in all that we do to reach these precious souls for Jesus Christ and equip them to walk with Jesus and become authentic followers of Jesus Christ and share their faith with all the people they know in and around Northern Thailand for the glory of God and the advancement of His kingdom.
Below is the message we sent out 6 years ago on July 15, 2016

Please Keep us in your prayers. We are in the process of purchasing a piece of land so that NTIM can put up a more permanent “Beach Head” known as Grace Language School (originally began as Lighthouse Language Center 15 years ago). This will be a multi-purpose facility and Lord willing will be where Baan Athitaan Church will also have offices and will have full access to the facility.

Please keep us in your prayers.
Until all the people in and around Northern Thailand know Him,
Love & Prayers from A Grateful Heart,
Bro Michael (or Pii Mikun as many Thai people call me.)
