God uses all situations to speak to Me:
Something really scary happened to me a few weeks back - I got stuck in an elevator, in the dark, alone and I was really afraid (especially as I have a phobia of confined spaces). But through this God gave me some revelation that even when I feel like I have no one to turn to (my back against the wall), He will be there for me to help me out - just call out to Him and you will see! Thankfully, the phone in the elevator worked so I could contact the guard. After the electricity in the building was turned off and the electrical problem fixed I was rescued!!! Praise God!
In a time of worship a few weeks back God spoke to me that although the season’s change, His love for me never changes. A week after that during worship, He also spoke to me that “Your heart is safe with me so don’t be afraid”.
Struggling with Family & Finances:
I went back to visit my family and they found out that I don’t make any salary and that I volunteer with YWAM full-time. I have been using my own savings money to survive and I have almost spent everything. My family are very angry, upset and disappointed in me and they told me to leave YWAM and get a life. This has been very difficult for me because of course what the world has to offer me in times like these is very appealing……a job, a good income etc etc.
My family are trying to convince me to find a job that pays well as they now know that I only have 1,800 Baht which is $ 55 left in my bank account, so they are pushing me to get a job. I have no idea how I’m going be survive doing my work with YWAM with only 1,800 Baht left!
Challenged in my faith:
To be honest, I have felt so challenged and have been struggling in my faith in recent months. I am so confused about life and what the future will bring. The constant worry of money and pressure from my family has made it difficult for me to really believe and trust God has the best for me.
I have been battling with the desire to have my life stable and steady – especially financially. The idea of a job and earning a good income is so tempting for me. I know that the enemy is trying to draw me far away from away from God and what He has for me, and instead I find myself focusing on what the world has to offer me and draw me to.
The dreams God has given Me:
As I look into what God has put in my heart or some vision that He has given me, I have realized that I don’t want to see those dreams fade away. I want to live in faith, trust God for His best and accomplish the dreams He has placed inside of me. I really have a heart for youth and university students, I would like to disciple them and help them make right choices with their lives. I want to use my counseling training by walking alongside young people through their struggles and difficulties that so many young people are faced with. As a Thai man I also feel very passionate about seeing young men in this nation trained and equipped to be used by God. I want to see Thai men take responsibility and learn what it means to lead people, families and churches.
Will YOU partner with me?
To continue my work with YWAM and live out the dreams God has given me, I am praying that people will partner with me by financially supporting me. I am currently trusting God for $600 monthly support for all my living expenses. I am praying that 10 people will come alongside me and support me $50 a month. Please would YOU consider and pray about being one of those 10 people. But more than anything I need your prayers, please continue to stand with me in prayer as I trust God for a huge release of finances to continue with my ministry!
If you would like to support me financially either monthly or with a one of gift, please contact me or you can do this online at: http://www.ywamthai.org/onlinedonations.php
Thank you all so much for your prayers, encouragement and support. I am blessed to have many wonderful friends in my life.
