The E5 Project is Answering the Call
From April 6 – 12 I lead a team of nine college students from Bethany College in Baton Rouge, LA to Boklua Thailand, in the province of Nan. The week was highlighted with children’s outreach, village outreach and nightly meetings to encourage and strengthen the new believers. Amazing things are happening.
Each time we go, we work along side my dear friend and apostolic leader Nott Chankhan. Nott is now a part of the Firstlight Fellowship Church Network – Thailand. The team witnessed 17 young minority Thai people come to Christ in two villages. Prayed for the sick and lead a couple to Christ who immediately went home and return to burn their idols. They witnessed a man who was lame walk home perfectly healed. They heard stories of the power of persistent prayer. Praise God!
In the village of Ban Pua lives Mee. She is 79 years old. Her Bible is a children’s Bible picture book because she cannot read. But her greatest ability is persistent prayer. For seven years Mee has beseeched the Lord to move in her family and in her village. After seven years of prayer God has begun to move. Two miraculous healing has happened. Fourteen people have come to Christ. Eleven children gave their hearts to Christ while our team was there.
Our team went on from there to encourage her, but they left that village with a passion for prayer.
Persistent prayer is the fuel for all ministry. E.M. Bounds is credited with this saying: God does not anoint machinery, he anoints men and women. God looks for those whose heart is desperate for Him. God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Thank you for helping us to answer the call.
