Bethel Church

These last 10 days have been amazing. I last wrote when I came back from Pattaya. Two nights ago we went to a place about an hour away from where I live called Bachin Sal. It is a very poor village. Here is a picture on how poor it is. This one family had to swim to there bathroom in dirty water. They live over a creek/swamp kind of deal. This place is POOR! They have NOTHING! It is one thing hearing about it and then seeing it. Some of them have Jesus though and that is so much more than what Bill Gates or Oprah has. So much more, so much more to live for.

This one lady named May lived pretty much outside. I don't know how to explain it, but she had absolutely nothing. Well a month ago, a team from prince George came and built her a house. She was extremely blessed. We got to paint her house that day. We also met some kids from the village. Man, to here what they go through will break your heart. Here is the amazing thing about this village. Ok so about a year ago there were no believers in that village. A church plant was started there. Now there is a church being built in that village and people are coming to christ. We met in this home where we worshiped God and opened the bible with about 15 other believers! All these people are new believers. Just think about in another year what God can do! We got to witness this church being built it was amazing what God is doing. Praise the Lord. There are so many people here who have not herd the Gospel and when they do they cannot ignore it. I am so excited that we will be getting to live in this area for a month and serving along side this church in Bachen sal. God is moving, the spirit is moving in that village. These people have been treated so poorly and have so little that when they find out that there is something more out there they are amazed. Someone who loves them deeply and gives them hope. I am so excited in what God is doing here. Don't think that you have to be in a different country to serve God. Do it where you are. Please do not just read this and think, o that is awesome praise God. Be a light in a dark place, where ever you are. There is so much evil in this world but evil cannot overcome us. John 1:5 " The light shines in darkness and darkness has not overcome it". Start up bible studies with your friends, grow together. Tell your friends about Jesus. Invited them to bible studies, even pray for them. Mark 6:11 "And if any place will not receive you and they will not listen to you, when you leave, shake off the dust that is on your feet as a testimony against them. "
I have seen awesome things here, people are coming to christ only because people are telling them. So many people in Vancouver have herd of Christians but they have no idea what Jesus is about. It serves as a great injustice that somewhere along the line someone Hi-jacked the gospel and changed it to a stupid religion about what you wear, how you act, what you do. It is so much more than that. In fact that is the opposit in what God taught. You know the people who taught that were the people who killed Jesus. Lets go christians, we serve an amazing God, lets go, 3-6-5. 

If you all could pray for Bachin Sal ( I am totally spelling it wrong) 
Pray that more people will come to christ there. Pray for the Bethel Church. As well pray for our team, there have not been any big problems so far, Also for language. I am learning a lot, it is deffinitly a really hard language but your prayers are helping because we are deffinetly progressing. thanks for your prayers, keep praying. 

Here is a song to listen to. This song was actually made in Pattaya, Thailand. The place I told you about last week. If you were at Passion you have herd this song, it is called "God of this City"
