Hi all,
As Thailand swelters in the heat of our hot season and Australia and New Zealand shiver in the cool Autumn, we all want to thank you for your faithful prayers and support.
Thank you for your prayers. I hope you enjoy the read and are inspired by what God is doing in Thailand. 
Win: April in Thailand is scorching hot, but the Songkran holidays provided a wonderful time for family. My mother has been living with me since last year, so we enjoyed a truly "warm" time together. Work-wise, I am already deep into prep for our November puppet training, so we are ready before the school term gets busy!
Kanchana: I am so thankful for our team’s progress this month. Between curriculum updates and monthly planning meetings, it is encouraging to see our goals moving from ideas to reality. It was also a blessing to have a restful Thai New Year break with my relatives.
Jean: We are seeing doors open in new places! A leader in Nong Bua Lamphu, Khun Pom-pam, used our puppet scripts and Easter activities for a new children’s ministry—the kids loved it! Also, "Teacher Fah" in Bangkok, who isn't a Christian herself, was so impressed by our previous school visits that she requested our activities for her 16 summer students.
Nut: I’m currently developing the training modules for scriptwriting and stage construction for our big November project. I’m about 30% done and feeling inspired. Also, a huge thank you for your prayers regarding my back—I am feeling much better!
Mew: It has been a challenging month managing the new website, our Line Official account, and learning to use AI for our ministry materials. I’ve been struggling with frequent migraines, so I truly appreciate your prayers for my health and focus.
Pai: My focus is on the future—getting our lessons into an easy-to-use online system and sending our new comic books out to schools. Personally, I am also entering my final year of Bible School. One more year to go!
Tim: I was inspired by last month's testimony from Pastor Tong. I find myself dreaming and asking: Who among the young children we are currently discipling is the next Pastor Tong or Pastor Chatchai? Lord, raise up the young men and women from this group. Raise up your sons and daughters from among these ones!
Bronwyn’s father passed away on April 22nd. In this time, we are so grateful for the "warmth of God’s love" that sustains us, even in a season of loss.
1) Comfort, Health, and Foundations
Focus: Strengthening the hearts and physical well-being of our team
- Grace in Grief: Pray for Tim and Bronwyn as they honour Bronwyn’s father. Ask for God’s peace to surround them and for strength as they handle the family details ahead.
- Physical Healing: Lift up Mew as she battles chronic migraines. Pray that she can find relief and that her health would be protected as she manages a heavy technical workload.
- Endurance in Study: Pray for Pai in his final year of Bible School. Ask for a sharp mind and the energy to balance his studies with his heart for ministry.
2) Creativity & Preparation
Focus: The "behind-the-scenes" work for the November Puppet Training
- Wisdom for Trainers: Pray for Nut as he gathers data and organizes the teaching curriculum for puppet scriptwriting. Pray for the remaining 70% of his prep to flow smoothly.
- Proactive Planning: Pray for Win as he prepares the training materials. Ask that the team would be fully equipped and "ahead of the curve" before the new school term begins.
- Digital Reach: Pray for the development of our online systems and website. We want these tools to make it easier for churches across Thailand to access our discipleship materials.
3) Outreach & Open Doors
Focus: The schools and churches using our ministry materials.
- New Harvest Fields: Give thanks for Teacher Fah in Bangkok and Khun Pom-pam in Nong Bua Lamphu. Pray for the children currently participating in their programs—that they would be curious to learn more about Jesus.
- The Power of Story: Pray for the new comic books being sent to schools. Ask that these would captivate the children's imaginations and draw them toward the lessons of the Gospel.
- School Partnerships: Pray for favor with school administrators as we plan our outreach for the upcoming term.
4) The Next Generation of Leaders
Focus: Seeing today’s children become tomorrow’s "sent ones"
- Raising up Leaders: Pray specifically for the students in our discipleship program. Ask that the Lord would raise up the next generation of pastors and leaders from among these very children.
- Supernatural Drawing: Pray that these young people would be drawn to Christ by the Holy Spirit, encounter Him personally, and choose to follow Him for a lifetime.
- Rooted Faith: Pray that they would grow into strong, rooted followers of Christ who are equipped to share the Good News with their own families and communities.
