There are many things that we do to build bridges to the lost people in this part of the world. As most of you know, we live in a part of the world where very few people have ever heard the message of Jesus. 99 out of every 100 persons living here do not know Jesus as their personal Savior. Even in the midst of millions who have never heard, God is at work. God is using many people and many groups to bring the light of the gospel.
One of those groups is our English language school called Grace Language School (GLS). GLS is registered with the Ministry of Education of Thailand and owned and operated by NTIM’s sister foundation in Thailand called Channel of Blessing Foundation. There are two areas that we are asking for your prayers.
We would first ask you to please pray for our outreach in Northern Thailand. GLS currently has 60+ students this term. We are asking God to send us 100!!! Please pray as we begin to make plans for registration of new students next week. We are also asking God to send us 7 new 2-year commitment missionaries to come and serve full time through NTIM and help us expand the kingdom of our great God here in Northern Thailand. The fields are ripe…but the laborers are truly few.
The second areas we need your prayer in is our 1st mission trip and outreach into China. There are over 400 Chinese students from Yunnan Province that study at Rajabhat University here in Chiang Rai. God has used us to lead several to faith in our Lord Jesus. Not only is God sending these Chinese students to Chiang Rai, God has opened doors for Grace Language School (GLS) to go into China. In just a few hours, a team of 4 of us from GLS will be traveling to Bangkok to meet up with 6 friends from FBC Florence, MS. We will then board a plane June 1 and head into China on GLS’s first mission trip into this great country. We will be plowing new ground as we teach on campus at a fairly large University on June 3 and a fairly large high school on June 4. Please pray for us as we seek to bless the Chinese people and be the salt and light our Lord Jesus has called us to be.
It is through your donations to NTIM that make it possible for us to join God in this great task of taking the message of our great Savior to the poor, to the needy, and to those who have never heard.
