Dear Norm
In our February email we Praised God we received funding to open six more district churches in Phichit province.
On May 16 & 17 the AFT opened three of these six district churches. The Bang Mun Nak Free Church, the Bueng Na Rang Free Church, and the Sak Lek Free Church. We will open the remaining three district churches over the next few months.
In one year, Phichit province went from the 70th least reach province to the 6th most reached province in Thailand. The percent Christian rose from 0.09% percent to 1.58%! That is what God can do if you have dedicated church planters willing to share Jesus with their fellow Thai neighbors!
Our church planters travelled down every road and lane looking for persons of peace. The map below shows the GPS coordinates where everyone in Phichit heard about Jesus and believed in Him. This map is like the view Jesus sees. It clearly shows there are persons of peace everywhere. All that is needed is people who are passionate about their faith and willing to GO! and share Jesus with their fellow Thai citizens.
The leaders of these new district churches typically are young couples who have stepped out in faith. They quit their jobs and moved away from their homes. God has called them to lead these churches and disciple the people who attend both the “mother church” and the house churches in their district.
Please pray for “Ben and Tuk-Ta” who lead the Bang Mun Nak Free Church. They look after ninety-two house churches. Tuk-Ta left a secure government job to give her life working full time for God’s Kingdom.
Pray for “If & Anong Nak” who are leading the Bueng Na Rang Free Church. They have responsibility for fifty-one house churches
The Sak Lak Free Church is led by “Wichian” a pastor from a nearby district. The district of Sak Lak has forty house churches he has to shepherd. Please pray for him.
