Shalom All,
Greetings in the
Name of our Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth!
And may the Lord
our God approve all our doings and our coming and going
and crown our efforts with His glory. Yes,
make our efforts successful! - Psalm 90 verse 17.
For the past 6
years in the mission field, my life is fully devoted to serving God because He
has given me the true meaning of life and I know His plan for me. This makes me love God more
than anything else. Walking with the Lord, I can sense His Peace, His
Protection and His Presence. So recently I
chose not to return to my hometown in Malaysia
to celebrate the Chinese New Year since God
wants me to serve Him here in Thailand even though I very much missed the celebration for 6 years. But
serving Him is more important
I sense some great events will
happen this coming April 2013.
The Spring
Valley Community Church has organized and supported an event for Bro. HT Long
(The Golden Voice of Elvis Presley and a Music Awards Winner) in Thailand. Two
years ago, I have also helped organise HT to come to Bangkok to sing in
churches. These have turned out to be very
popular and successful events too. Many lives have been touched and have received salvation and healing. All
Glory to the Lord!
On April 6th,
2013, Bro. HT Long will be singing at the Night Bazaar Market at Klong 4, Lam
Luk Ka District, Pathum Thani (GPS Coordinator: 13.96037769375891,
100.68500943481922) from 5.00pm to 7.00pm. This event will be hosted by Spring Valley Community Church and partnering with a
number of Churches working together to make
this event a success. It will be a great opportunity to share the gospel.
The following day, Bro. HT Long will be
sharing and singing at the morning Sunday Service at Spring Valley Community
Church, Lam Luk Ka District, Pathum Thani (GPS Coordinator :
13.941902274310971, 100.65155290067196) from 10.00am to 12.00pm.
In the evening, he will be singing and
sharing at the Second Samyan Church, Bangkok at 4.00pm.
On April 19th - 20th, 2013, Spring
Valley Community Church has invited Mrs. Sherina Timms to speak in our church. A speaker and trainer of international gospel
events, she has a special heart for Jews
to know Jesus Christ. She will share her
knowledge and understanding about the history of Israel, the Torah, passover,
and the 12 tribes of Israel and etc.
For friends in Thailand, wherever
you are, you are most welcome to our church to attend the events. Please
contact or email me for contact details,
please see info below.
We are still waiting for confirmation from the 10 medical doctors from Philippines on their coming to our Spring Valley Community Church to serve the local community for short term mission. It is an opportunity to do medical evangelism by giving free medical treatment and sharing the gospel and the love of Jesus with the people in our community. Please pray along with us even as the doctors seek the Lord’s provision.
We continue to
look forward to seek the Lord’s direction for us in our area of work. We intend to persevere and persist with passion and
patience and not give up.
Here is a story
about a church we visited last week … a church
run by a Korean missionary. This missionary
shared with us that when she started this church, no one came to
her church for 7 months. However, she kept her persistence and passion even though she was struggling and alone in the church she hoped to build. Today, she still
continues to find strength in building this church, conducting Sunday
Church Service and Bible Class. Now the Church
is entering its 7th year and has 40
members, young and old. Isn’t that an amazing story of church building effort?
One can only give one's utmost
passion and leave the rest to the Lord. All for His Glory!

for February 2013 for your reference.
Thank you for your prayer and giving.
May God bless you all.
With Love and Blessings in His
name,
Rev. Steve
