Settling in




Sawatdee-kha everyone!
It is almost been a month since I am back in Thailand. Loving it! The first week was settling into the apartment, I stayed with the Chiang Mai House of Prayer, the room was wide and nice, I am so blessed to be able to stay with them. It is so great to see many people and friends that you haven't seen in a long time and I was able to catch up with some of them.
Being at the church also just bless my heart. I was able to talk with some friends (though I am still getting my Thai language back) and just had a really blessed time with the Thais.

Couple of weeks ago, a few friends from Bethany came to the city! Hurray! There are going to be interns joining us in a about a week from now and I am just super excited about that. I was able to help them with finding houses, and in fact, yesterday I moved in to my new house, which I shared with two of my great friends from Bethany. It is a lovely one story house with a lot of trees and plants so it keeps us cool during the day. Praise God, that it all went smoothly and that now I have new house mates!


Couple of weeks ago, my brother and my friend, Ronald came to visit. So we went all over the city and really had a great time together. Ronald is really praying if God really wants him to come down here and do some work or ministry. So if we can pray together for him, so that he will hear clearly from the Lord, that would be great. Besides all that, it was so great to see my brother again and spend some quality time with him.

Other than that, I am also settling in with my ministry here at the church. A new believer name Poy wants me to teach her some English, so we begun our class last week and I just love her a lot. Claire, a student at Chiang Mai university wants me to help her as well and doors just seems to swing open for me to use all kind of things to share the love of Jesus. A lot of girls at church are also really want me to open a dance class for them, and they are just so excited about me being here.

So please continue your prayer, doors are opening, His Kingdom is coming. I am more than believe that He will bring the revival here in Thailand!

God bless you!

I'm so excited for the ministry that you are apart of! Your house sounds wonderful. Do you have pictures?

I'll be praying especially for the new interns and that doors keep opening for ministry.

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
