to the valley... hear our praises rise to you. That was a song that we sung over and over again in our church. And who ever thought that I actually get to go to the mountain and hear the praises, being raised up to the Lord. It was an amazing opportunity that I had and I am so grateful that God given me the chance to go. This is a story about a revival that happens among the Karen people, one of the hill tribes of Thailand.  Even though I was so tired after all of the activities in the city, my Spirit was burning with curiosity about what is happening. The night we got there, I saw hundreds of youths fill this church. Some said, it could possibly be a thousand youth gather for this event. Oh I can just feel the presence of God there. It was amazing to see things like this. Here I am, in the middle of nowhere, where in some village there is not an electricity or running water yet and the spirit of the Lord is being poured out to this people.  The camp last for three days...

"Do you not know?    Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God,    the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary,    and his understanding no one can fathom.  He gives strength to the weary    and increases the power of the weak.  Even youths grow tired and weary,    and young men stumble and fall;  but those who hope in the LORD    will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles;    they will run and not grow weary,    they will walk and not be faint." Isaiah 40:28-31 All of us have probably memorize or over heard that verses before. And so do I, but there are only a few moments in my life when every word of it came alive. Like this week.  After all these time preparing for their coming, finally the Indonesian team is here! There are about 60 of them and...

Hello again everyone. It is about that time of the week where I share with you things that happen around here. I attend a friend's wedding last Sunday. My co-workers Little and Dough at the church got married, it is such an exciting thing because they have been dating for about 9 years and now they are married. I am so happy for them and I know that everyone is too. It was a big celebration, over 400 people show up and I just knew that this couple is really blessed, just by seeing how people would travel 8-9 hours to just attend the wedding. So a huge warm congratulation for Pi Little and Dough!! Now besides the wedding, there are major change happening with my ministry here. I found out last week that the person who is in charge for a lot of things in the church have resigned. It is for a good reason, I believe and I know that God is working everything for our good. So there is some major transition happens right now in our church, and I am taking more and more responsibility...

Sometimes I wonder if that if we should love our neighbors literally. Like loving the person who's house is next to us, whom their dogs keeps you up at night, the one who gossip about you and things like that. Well, I think it can be taken to an extend, just love people. Well, love isn't something you just say or feel, it is an action. So here we are acting out that love to our neighbor. Most of you probably have heard about the big flood that hit Chiang Mai last week. And one of the lady from our church got it really bad. The water was probably a meter high in her house and she lost a lot of things. And I know there are a lot of families in our church who got flooded as well. So last Sunday we split up into 4-5 groups and we went and help different houses clean the mud and the dirt from the flood. As you can see from the picture below how bad the water get into the house. We went as a youth group to help cleaning up the mess. When we reached her house, the wat...
