Thai Update: May 8th 2009 - Nicole

Our first full day of ministry here.
Pastor Brian spoke to us about how Thailand is going through a phase of reclamation. God has already redeemed these people and this land through the Cross, and how He is calling them back to Him.
I realized how similar this is to what is happening in my own life.

There are parts of me that are beautiful and good, there are also many parts of me that are broken and need grace, just like this land. If I know God to be faithful in my life, how much more gracious will He be in this country. It made me see that every little thing we are doing here moves these people closer to where God is bringing them. Even the most tiny things like prayer for one child, or pulling one tooth are not futile.

God has shown me His heart for this country and it is filled with beauty and hope, just like His heart for me.

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29:11
