Prayer changes things

One of the best parts of the last month has been meeting with a group of new believers.  This group came to faith in Jesus this month through one of our friends and local partner, Baang.  Last month she was going through some stressful things so we took her to a local retreat center and spent about an hour going through the prayer labyrinth together. She had never done anything like that and was so encouraged that she went home and started walking through her community to encourage neighbors. 

While she was walking she saw two ladies and felt led to stop and pray for them in the name of Jesus.  They both immediately felt better, and the next day said to Baang "what did you do? We haven't slept that good in 30 years!".  Bang shared the Gospel with them, and they were hungry to learn more.  Each week Baang and I have been reading the Bible, praying and sharing God's story with these ladies for the first time ever. One week we watched the Jesus film in their native language (Northern Thai), and they were brought to tears when they saw all that Jesus had done for them.  God is so good.
