A miracle from God!

God has been gracious enough for us to see him work in people's lives. Today we saw a miracle in one woman's life as she made a commitment that changed her life forever. We have been telling the stories of God now in her village for 2 months. She gave us the opportunity to share the stories because she opened her home for us to share. What a glorious sight to she her say i believe in God i believe in Jesus and I am his follower. I don't think the people back home really understand what this means for this lady to say this. In america people all the time make commitments to Jesus or go to the front of a church or raise their hand in a service, but here in this village it has never happened before today. The people here are bhuddists they worship bhudda and the spirits there father did that their grandfather did that and their great great great grandfather did that as well. They do not know about God and who he is, and when they do know normally it is too much to handle when you have been taught one thing all of your life. The stronghold here is high and vast the web of deception is strong yet God continues to pull people from darkness to light and this lady by a miracle of God was pulled from darkness to light. Without a bible without someone teaching her since she was little. Just by her hearing the stories of God. By the way we are only to Moses, and yet through the pictures that God placed even before Jesus came she understood why Jesus came and believed in him it is truly a miracle from God. Please pray for 2 other miracles to happen. A boy who cannot walk and a man whose arm is limp. Pray for their healing as a confirmation of the God that we tell these stories about is living and active and does heal and so the village may come and worship the one true God. God bless you.

I saw your blog as a link from Mark King's blog. I spent about 12 days in Thailand 2 years ago. We were mostly working with a church in Udon Thani with Isaan. I am a pastor in Montana, my wife is originally from OK. We graduated from OBU. Just wanted to check in and say I enjoy your posts and will pray for ministry opportunities.
