So much so soon!!!

So much has been happening just at the right time, that it appears to be no coincidence!!! (not that we thought it was anyway!).

On Monday, we went to have a look at a bakery that the Filipino missionaries had started up, and its a good thing we went then because it was closing the next day for the rest of the time we're in Mae Sot and we wouldn't have been able to see it.

On Tuesday we were able to have lunch with the local pastor-Pastor John, and encourage him and pray with him, he said he could only spend an hour with us but after 1.5 hours and making his wife wait 30mins we finally convinced him to leave. He's doing an amazing work. The combined churches of Thailand have finally decided to work together (after stacks of disunity) and have a joint vision to reach every household in Thailand. They've divided Thailand up into quarters and Pastor John in organising a conference for the pastors in his quarter for March and was asking us if we knew of any speakers who could come. To which we were able to suggest one. And pray about it with him. We'll see where the Lord leads with that.

At night we were able to have dinner with Niell and Diana and have a great chat with them regarding where they are at, where they would like to go and what God is doing in their hearts and lives right now. It was a blessed time and God was able to speak to both us and them through the conversation. Thanks God!!!

Today (Wed) we were able to catch up with Philip Tin Aung, and after giving him some letters from Australian friends yesterday he was very appreciative of that. Today we had lunch with him and four of his pastors that are leading a Christmas celebration tomorrow morning. We're invited to that and dad will give a '5 min encouragment' tomorrow, before the guest speaker. He's expecting 1000-3000 Burmese factory workers so it'll be exciting to see how that goes.

The team is fairing well. Mimee's brother arrived today so she is spending some family time with him and her niece as well. She's still working long hours though. We're having daily devotions and looking at how God uses people in prayer and what kind of blessings he gives out. Thanks for your prayers and support. We couldn't be doing what we're doing without it!
