Week-end

This week-end Andy, Kat, me, and a hand full of other Christians from the Watchrapon church here traveled to Banana Village (a 10 hour drive to the North) on the Thailand-Laos border for a revival meeting. Christians from many villages in that area gathered for a week-end of lectures and fellowship.

It was good to travel outside of Bangkok and see and experience the different between the richness and industrialness of Bangkok and the poverty of the villages. The Christians at the revival were so welcoming to us and so happy to be all together.

One of my favorite parts of the revival was hearing from one Christian man there who asked to speak. He told the story of how he became a Christian 20 years ago, and how he didn't know how to read, and how he wished so much to be able to read the Bible. He prayed that God would send him a wife that could read so that she could read the Bible to him. God sent him a wife, but she could not read. God eventually answered his prayer though and made it so the man's children had the opportunity to learn to read, so now his children read the Bible to him, and to any of their neighbors that will come to listen.
