Update from John and Nok

Our Vision: Reach unreached people groups - evangelism and discipleship through social media

The time has passed so quickly. In 2019 when God told us to do online ministry there was no Covid-19, so I didn't understand why God wanted me to stop working in the village. But after Covid arrived, everything suddenly went online. Now every day we read testimonies in our group chats of how the Holy Spirit is working in people's lives. 

We are so thankful to the Lord that He led us into this ministry. In the beginning, we had no idea how this would all work out, but now we can see that we just trust in His leading and He will do the work. Thank you for supporting us either financially or through prayer. We are happy to share our testimonies to encourage you that God is great and mighty. He is continuing to expand His Kingdom and all of us can easily participate in His work as we listen to and trust the power of the Holy Spirit.

Family Update

On December 10th, my mother quietly passed to be with the Lord at the age of 77. I am grateful to the Lord that she did not feel any pain or suffering during her final stage of liver cancer. She just slowly fell asleep peacefully, in the arms of the Lord. 

Testimonies

From Darkness Into Light

In the past, I have heaviness in my heart. My life was filled with earthly successes but one day those successes all came back to harm me. I lost my money, business, family. I had to live my life in shame. I was severely depressed and attempted suicide many times, but I did not die - even though I tried to  hang myself - the ropes would break. I drank and smoked heavily. When I met my partner, he wasn't normal. He was abusive - for example when I was 8-months pregnant, he would jump onto my tummy to try and hurt me and my child. When I gave birth, my partner ran away because he was afraid people would find out what he did. 

At the time, my life had no direction. Since I was little, I relied on men to be my stability. I was not able to be alone. I would just accept anyone - good or bad - into my life. I was void of love, and I did not think that I would be able to live by myself. 

But when I accepted Jesus, God returned everything that was lost - work, finance, business, family, mom and dad, and my children. He returned it to me in full. I have more peace than ever before. For example, my mom had been waiting for a visa for 5 years, and then suddenly the visa was issued. One month after my mom accepted Jesus, her cancer was gone. She flew to see me and her grandchild. My dad also got a visa during the pandemic - which the Australian government doesn't issue to people, but he was able to come. 

The customers that I'd lost also came back and I had even more customers. I received a promotion at work, and I was able to complete my studies which I previously was not able to. 

God also healed me physically and mentally. I have never been able to be left alone before and have always had to rely on men or alcohol to get by. I could not be alone or lack "love". However, I am now able to stay by myself, stand on my own with strength. I am able to take care of my mom, dad, and child. God doesn't leave me. On days where I could be sad such as my child's birthday, or the anniversary which made me think about my partner, God would fill those days with good, miraculous things to the point where I am no longer sad. 

The day that you (Nok) told me to read God's word - the one that says Jesus died for us and was raised back to life in order to carry all our sins out of ourselves. Once I read that chapter, my clinically diagnosed depression. PTSD, shock, nightmares, and all sadness completely disappeared. From that day until today, which has been six months, I have not had depression or nightmares again. My life is filled with joy being with my child, my mom, my dad, and my work. I want to thank God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, for leading my life to walk in His way. God really loves us. I want everyone who is experiencing sadness to turn to believe in Jesus, because Jesus is the only one who can raise our lives up and pay for all of our sins. 

I love God so much. Thank you, Lord for timely rescuing my life and the lives of my family.

Mic Battle TV Show

New (blue shirt) and Oui (white shirt) are organisers of a TV show called "Mic Battle" - a new show on True channel. For some reason, the executive had made a mistake with their decisions and the show ended up with a big loss. New and Oui then made a decision to continue to run the show by themselves. They needed to move to a new channel without any help and financial support. 

At that time, Oui who is a Christian, found Nok's video clips and sent New a video clip about God. New believed and invited God into his life and asked God to intervene in their problems. On the same day that New accepted Jesus, he was contacted by a company that they had previously pitched their TV show to, but who had rejected them. The same company that rejected their show had now changed their mind and agreed to fully fund their TV show without any pressure to get their money back. A miracle had happened! More than that, MCOT channel 9 has contacted them and given them the best on-air time which is 6.00pm on Sunday. Their TV show is now currently running. 

Now New and Oui are part of Phathumthani church and do bible study with us once a month. They have been studying online regularly and sharing their testimonies in a new believer group. 

Prayer Points

1) Our 2023 baptism project. We will have our followers who are ready to fully accept Jesus and participate in being baptized in front of or together with their families and friends. The problem is most of our followers are in different locations all over the country. We pray for God's leading and wisdom to accomplish this task. 

2) Please pray for financial provision to cover our ministry expenses such as the cost of subscriptions of applications and analytics, Bibles, Bible study materials, and travel costs to collect testimonies through video production. These expenses are between $300-$600/month.

3) Our Teen Ministry. We have a mini concert with a Christian youth band every month. During this concert, we will focus on Jesus' story and include some teaching on how the students can protect themselves from sexual abuse. Please pray that the Holy Spirit will touch their hearts and bring them to Christ.
