Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus.
Let me quote from Book of Psalm 47 v 1 - 2 : “Come, everyone! Clap your hands! Shout to God with joyful praise! For the Lord Most High is awesome. He is the great King of all the earth.”
Now, before I update you about my work in recent weeks, may I invite you to pray with me, as we invite Him into our lives....
Together, let us pray;:-
"Dear Heavenly Father, Glory be your Name most High!
We praise and thank you for being our God, and the Creator of Heaven and Earth.
We want to thank you for sending your Son, Jesus Christ, to die for our sins on the cross, to liberate us from the Evil One, and to give us eternal life.
As confused and sinful people of this world, we confess we have failed you even as we continue to sin and break your heart. Lord,.forgive us our sins, and all the wrongs in our life. We are deeply sorry for these and seek your forgiveness.
Lord, we also ask for your compassion and mercy on your people throughout this world, who have faced and are still facing many disasters, difficulties and turmoil; especially for those recently affected by earthquakes in China, Japan and Indonesia, as well as for victims of floods and hurricane in Americas, China, Burma, Thailand, India, and many other countries .
We also pray for victims caught in wars and conflicts, in religious, racial and political unrests, resulting in chaos, hunger, famine, destruction of homes and properties, and many deaths ... in Africa, the Middle East, India and many, many parts of the world. Lord, have mercy on them and us....we earnestly pray for peace and order to return to this troubled and sinful world.
We also pray for wise stewardship of every government and country on earth... may you guide and bless each nation as it seeks to improve the lot of its people.
On the economic front, there are signs that the world economy is facing a host of problems and difficulties, threatening the economic livelihood of thousands and millions of workers Lord, may you grant wisdom to the planners and builders of the economy, so that stability and growth will emerge, and be sustained.
Lastly, we earnestly pray for all mankind to repent of their wickedness and greed, and to return to your ways, upholding honesty, truth, justice, honor, generosity, gratitude, love and faithfulness, as you have taught us..
Thank you Lord for hearing our prayers.. All Glory to Your Name!
In the name of our Lord Jesus,we pray.
Amen.""

Now, for my report..
On September 14th, 2008, I was invited by the Presbyterian Church in Pattaya to share the Word of God on Sunday service. My wife, Jenny interpreted for me into Thai and I shared about prophesies from the Old Testament, which clearly point to Jesus in the New Testament as the fulfillment of prophesies in the Old Testament. I also shared Jesus' prophesies on the End Time. The senior pastor and elders then invited me to come to Pattaya again the following week to share the Word of God. Two days before this, there was a very heavy storm on the coastline of Pattaya with waves reaching about 30 feet high. We feared for the people living in Pattaya and so we and our prayer partners in the Church, prayed for God's intervention. Praised the Lord, the weather returned to normal and I was able to return to preach that Sunday.
I have set aside every Saturday morning to share the Word of God with, as well as pray for, the people gathering during weekend in Lumpini Park, Bangkok. Joining me there are several other pastors from different Churches. Here we preach the Gospel of Jesus to people who gather there, so that their life may be touched by the love of Jesus. Many people have been encouraged to receive the Word of God into their heart and many have given testimonies of how Jesus has changed their life. There has been healing too. Halleluyah!
The pastors has also invited me to help the Church in organising the coming Christmas evangelize meeting in the park on December 20th, 2008.
This coming weekend, we are going to Sisaket (northeastern Thailand) to meet up with a former theology professor from India whom I chanced to meet in Bangalore Airport as spend a week with his family last year. The professor and his wife are now working in Sisaket as English teachers.
This report has been edited with the help of a brother in Christ.My special thanks to him for his help.
When my financial resource is low, I will continue to go further for the Lord as His Kingdom is near. Book of Roman 15 v 24 : "I am planning to go to Spain, and when I do, I will stop off in Rome. And after I have enjoyed your fellowship for a little while, you can provide for my journey". (http://faithwithyou.blog.com/2007/8/)
May God's blessings be upon you and your loved ones.
Shalom to you all!
Blessing,
Pastor Steve Peter H S Kok
