Rescue1 Native Style

A greatly admired mentor of mine always says, "We move at the speed of life, light, and loot"! (he says provision, I added loot) It is so true, huh? We cannot move faster than the circumstances of life allows. We cannot work where God's revelation and guidance is not. And, we definitely cannot move forward void of His provision. Over the past 18 months God has been leading us and Compassionate Hope Foundation@ compassionatehope.org in an all out sprint. -Wait, I need a moment to catch my breath.........................Okay! It is very clear to that the Spirit is leading and showing miraculous signs to declare His Kingship. One of the ways we know God wants to reveal Himself and Rescue1 at a time is though our assistance in EMPOWERING the nationals. So, here is a taste of God giving life, light, and loot in the words of one of our national partner, servant leaders.  

Dear Friends and prayer partners,

     School was closed for the month of October and most of the students returned home to help in their churches: teaching the Bible, visiting the sick, witnessing to others and leading some to Christ.  They had good opportunities to serve Christ. While home some assisted their parents with the rice harvest or gathering coffee beans.  Others planted fields of corn for their families. Tawatchai took a team and visited former students at a church in a nearby country for 7 days. Some of the leaders and young people want to serve the Lord and would like to attend our Leadership Training Center next year. A few of our students remained here and helped with the dorm students at Home of Blessing.

School re-opened Nov. last for the 2^nd term.  There are l2 students, 3 new students coming from another nearby country.  There is some problem as the 3 new students don’t know Thai so only Chalong can teach them in Hmong. We are also teaching Thai to those who don’t know Thai in order that they will be able to read and write in Thai and share with others. Then they will be able to help the churches here.

     Last night at the prayer and praise meeting one of the 
students shared about coming to the Leadership Training.  “We traveled for 2 days and 2 nights. During that time we only ate once as we didn’t have much money.  We then spent 2 nights with Christians before traveling by bus to Thailand to study at the Center.  We love the Lord and want to study God’s Word in order that we can serve the Lord.”  Praise God for those who hunger and thirst to know the Word of God.

   

      May God bless each of you who have a share in the work here through prayer, encouragement and giving.  Please pray for us---teachers and students alike, that we may be all God wants us to be and become mature in Christ Jesus. 

With love in Christ,

Tawatchai and Predawan Intasin
