Galong and team going to start a new house church 

The day Wichien first heard about Jesus

Wichien six months after believing in Jesus teaching others how to share their faith

Dear Norm 

 

This past year we have shared with you information about the amazing growth of the Free In Jesus Christ Church Association (FJCCA). In this email we want to share about two people whose lives were dramatically changed when they believed in Jesus.

“Galong” is 45 years and has a first-grade education. She owns a small restaurant that sells noodle soup along a busy street. About 8 years ago she was diagnosed with gall stones. She had surgery to remove the stones but after the surgery bile leaked from her gallbladder into her body and doctors determined that where this happened it turned into cancer. Her weight dropped to 62 pounds, her tongue turned white and got hard. She couldn’t eat, couldn’t get out of bed and was waiting to die. One day Galong’s husband met a Christian from the FJCCA that told him that Jesus could help his wife. So he invited this Christian to his house to share with them about Jesus. That day they prayed and believed that Jesus could save and heal her. Over the next six months her health improved to the point where she was totally healed.

Because of the grace she received from being healed she now shares the love of Jesus with people every day and has led thousands to Christ. Over the last few years she has started over 50 house churches and three mother churches. Almost every day she and her team go and share the gospel in villages that have never heard of Jesus.

 

“Wichien” is 54 years old. He used to be the manager of a resort until he started having severe headaches and was no longer able to work. In an effort to get well he spent thousands of dollars on medicines, but nothing helped his headaches. Last December when an FJCCA team shared the gospel in his village they found him lying in a hammock drooling at the mouth and not able to function. He was out of money and had lost all hope. That day they told him that if you have a problem in life, Jesus can help you. So he decided to believe in Jesus. By the next day his headaches were gone and he was back to normal. Six months later Wichien is now a proficient house church planter and leader. Praise the Lord!

 These are just two of many examples of lives that have been changed because of the Gospel. Even though you don’t know Galong and Wichien yet, you will meet them in heaven, you are a crucial part of their lives through the prayer and support of this ministry. Thank you for your partnership.

 

 Family Update


Please pray for Mary Kay as she left for the United States on December 3rd to be with Tim and Crystal and other family members for the Christmas season. More than than she will be with our daughter Crystal, as she is due to give birth during the first week of  January 2020.  Pray that Crystal and the baby stay healthy. We are both looking forward to meeting our granddaughter!

Blessings in Jesus,
