It is with a very heavy heart that I write this prayer update to you today. Please, please, please pray for and understand the deep sadness that every Thai person is experiencing as we face the reality of the loss of a truly great king.
One of the editorials in the Bangkok Post today expresses my feelings well so please let me take a moment and share those words with you:
“No words can describe the sense of loss, the grief and anguish, that Thais of allgenerations feel today as they mourn the death of beloved King Bhumibol Adulyadej, Rama IX.
The monarch was Father to the nation. His wise counsel took the country out of several deadly turns, his fortitude anddevotion to human development were an inspiration to all. Regardless of differences and disparities across Thai society, His Majesty was a solitary constant, a guiding light for Thais rich and poor, young and old, rural farmers and urban residents alike.”
It is because of these sad feelings in the heart of every Thai person and because of our love for all Thai people that we write this update and ask all of our Christian friends and loved ones to join me in praying for the 66 million Thai people today.
Please join me in praying for the hole in the heart of every Thai person. Please pray that God would bring comfort and strength to all.
Please pray for the forces of evil to be kept at bay during this transitions time in place in order that we all would be able to live in peace and in freedom as we have in the past. Please pray for all of the Christians in Thailand during this time to truly reflect the deep respect that we have for the beloved King Bhumibol
Adulyadej, Rama IX.
Adulyadej, Rama IX.
Thank you for your love for us, your love for the country of Thailand, for your love for the Thai people.
Your Servant to the Nations in and around Northern Thailand, Michael for the team
