September 2022

 September has been a busy month for the Great Commission! I'm excited to share with you all that I've witnessed in September.

First, we had a soccer competition the first week of August. I coached my own team and we took first place! More importantly, I had a Gospel conversation with at least ten people. A few of them are interested and want to learn more. I plan to continue playing soccer with these men. I believe the next time we will have a competition is next year and I'm looking forward to more Gospel conversations with both the players and the people who come to watch the games.

Great news! Our team has started focusing on college ministry. The baptizer in the picture is a second-generation believer and has been taught by his father. His name is Kay and he has consistently been showing his friends Jesus. As a result, three new believers have been baptized! All three of them are pictured in the water. Praise God for His faithfulness. There were over ten nonbelievers watching the event and they are more interested in Jesus as a result.

The very next day from the baptisms there was a Deaf event in which over 800 Deaf people attended. I am proud to say that the three new believers all shared Jesus with nonbelievers at this event. It is very encouraging to see three new believers dive right into the Great Commission. Kay has been a great leader for the new believers. Not only that, but the friends who attended the baptism went to the event as well and saw the three new believers share the Gospel. A great change has been seen in the new believers and the college students know it.

The three new believers have committed to having weekly Bible studies. However the nonbelievers are interested as well, so they attend too. The light from the new believers and Kay has attracted many nonbelievers. I foresee even more people turning to Christ!

As always, thank you for partnering with me and praying for me. I look forward to telling you more great news next month. Please continue praying for me.

Prayer Requests

• Pray for the unrepentant believer in Bangkok that she will turn back to Jesus.
• Kay is the college student I mentioned in my previous update that I am discipling. He is doing a good job with the college students. Pray he is protected from the enemy's attacks. Pray for protection for the new believers as they obey the Great Commission.
• Pray for me, as I have less than a year left in my term. Pray I finish my term strong with joy and contentment!
