Shalom All,
Greetings in the name of our Lord
Jesus Christ of Nazareth!
1 Peter 4 verse 11 - “Do you have
the gift of speaking? Then speak as though God himself were speaking through
you. Do you have the gift of helping others? Do it with all the strength and
energy that God supplies. Then everything you do will bring glory to God
through Jesus Christ. All glory and power to him forever and ever! Amen”.
Our thoughts were drawn deep into
the above verses for the past few months?
What is the call of the Lord for
us?
Should we plan to start a church
to serve the community around us?
Obstacles, yes, lots of it ahead
for us even to think about it!
It is never easy to start a
church, surely?
But when we begin to pray and say,
"Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come
soon. May your will be done on earth ..." surely, Jesus will take
over from there? ...
Say “Amen” to that?
We will continue to pray on and
for this vision, daily, and we certainly need your prayer support for this
vision, too.
Last Sunday and yesterday, in our
home sharing, it came as a great surprise to know that another family also has
similar to set up a church to serve the local community around us. Therefore,
we now have two families in agreement instead of one!
So we started looking for a
suitable place to start a community church. We found a big house at Lum Luk Ka
District, Pathum Thani Province (near Don Mueang Airport).
The owner presently rents it out
for about THB 10,000 (RM 1,000/USD 334) per month. There are 3 bedrooms, a big
living hall/room and a garden.
It appears to us to be a suitable
place for us to start a church, for worship and to also use it for community
service, prayer and mission outreach ministry workplace.
Also a locale for transit
missionary workers stopping over in Bangkok for take-off to other mission
fields close-by ... Malaysia, Burma, Cambodia, Laos ,Vietnam and China, etc.
A welcome place for workers of the
Kingdom, for the spread of the Gospel and for greater harvests for the
Lord, as He commanded.
Now is time for us to pray for
this vision to come true.
A House for the Lord or just a
house as it is now.
See photos below.
All Praise to the Lord, as we seek
His will ... Do uphold us in prayers.
Thank you and God bless!
Blessings,
Rev. Steve Peter H S Kok
