Counting The Days

I’m almost there… The countdown is on.. It’s just a week left before we fly to Chiang Mai. It is exciting time for me but also busy to get everything together. Things seem to be going as planned. I will be leaving at April 24th from Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, and to Chiang Mai, Thailand. There will be five of us are going and we are excited about what God’s going to do while we all in Thailand. We will be staying at Chiang Mai until August 2010. It seems like a long time for me but I believe that it will goes by fast.

A few things I want to share with all of you:

1. God has provided 100% of my budget! He is faithful, even when I am faithless.

2. I just got my visa to Thailand without any problem! Praise Him!

3. Please pray for Thailand, they were having some issues on the capital, Bangkok, few days ago. Pray that God’s peace will rest on that nation.

4. I am finishing my preparation! Please pray that God will give me the strength and also courage for my family and friends.

5. The Lord’s safety on the trip. All of us should be arriving in Chiang Mai on Saturday, April 25th.

6. Please pray for my family and friend as I leave again for such a long time. It’s going to be a tough goodbyes for them.'

Thank you for all of you that has been partnering with me through prayer and financial contribution. I am sure the seed that you’ve sown will be many blessings to this nation. And if you still want to donate, it’s not too late! Go to www.bethanyinternational.org and click on ways to donate. Or send checks to Bethany International (6820 Auto Club Rd, Suite J, Bloomington, MN, 55438) and put a note to my name.

I will inform you my address and number as soon as I get to Thailand. For now, contact me via e-mail in: natasha.christiani@bcom.org

Pray with me!

Only a week before the start of something new…

In Christ’s love,

My New House

Image
Like I said in my previous blog, that I have moved in to my new house with my new house mates: Jasmine and Amy. There is a lot of things we have to do for that house, but it came with a furniture and reasonable price. We were really happy to have the deal with that house because of the location, that it is near to the city, a walk to the students houses and a walk to the church I am working with. It's just a blessing to all of us. Couple of you have asked what the house look like, so here is some pictures of the house so you can have an idea how awesome our house is. :) This is the front of our house and here's a few shots on the inside. It is not completely arranged yet, but we're getting there. :) Yes, we are so blessed with such a nice house. My room is a lot smaller than the one I have before but I like it kind of small. That way I don't have to worry about cleaning it and filling it. Haha... I am just blessed, so blessed. And this is my new transportation around th

Leaving Thailand

Greetings! In January 2014 I will be ending my term as a missionary in Thailand and will be going home to Jakarta, Indonesia . The ministry that I work with in Chiang Mai is bearing a lot of fruits and things are going really well, but I feel like Indonesia is where the Lord is taking me for this next season. Jakarta, Indonesia, my home, I never thought that God will ever call me back home. When I give my life to serve in the mission field 7 years ago, I never thought that this will happen. But God really is calling me to go back home . And it was as clear as it can be to me. The ministry that I am doing with the youths here are flourishing, the Lord have blessed us so much this past two years, we were able to see growth, new believers and new thing in the Thai churches. But when I spoke with my dad (my senior pastor in Jakarta) couple of months back, he told me that the youth back in my church is falling apart. Ever since I left home, things are ju

Valentine's Day

Oh my... it's been ages since I updated this blog. I am terribly sorry. Ever since I got back to Jakarta, everything just kind of go in super fast pace. Just like the city. For almost 3 years I lived in Chiang Mai where everything is kind of slow and feels laid back, getting back in the mega city has not been easy at all. Though I am entering my 3rd year here, I found it very hard still to find things that I enjoy here (besides friends and family of course). Today is Valentine's Day. For a single girl like me it doesn't feel any different than any other day to be honest. But with the social media and peer pressure on single girl in her late 20s, today can be a tough day to face. I say goodbye to dating a long time ago, I used to date when I was in High School but not anymore since then. I have decided to follow God's calling and took the harder road in leaving home and study as well as serving others in the other side of the world. Many of you are familiar with my s
