Report from Nan Province:

To keep you updated on Hmong Ministry in Ban Doi Tiew, Thawanpha District, Ban Pam Kae and Ban Manee Pruke, Thung Chang District, Nan this weekend.

On Saturday I shared the True Living God and had a long discussed with Mr. Chong Ken Saeher, shaman, Ban Doi Tew. He is a shaman for the Her clan there. He admitted he has misled the clan for a long period of time. Now he knows the truth about the True Living God, he will discuss with his clan members and perhaps will confront his clan members to come the Lord soon. He is ready to accept the Lord Jesus Christ to be his own personal savior. He and clan members will set an appointment to meet with me in the near future. He said if he becomes a Christian the clan members would also become Christians. I challenged this shaman and hopely God will encounter him and his clan members.

Secondly, on sunday we have Bible studies and lead fellowship service in Ban Pam Kae and have Bible studies with a Cell group.

Met with a group of animistic people in Ban Manee Pruke. God touched Mr. and Mrs. Zong Kai Saethao and 4 children hearts and saved their souls. This family worshipped the god of the sky (Chaofa) unlike the other Hmong who worship their ancestors. I was able to answer all his questions and presented salvation plan for him. He said, his god must be a small under Jesus Christ. He and his wife made profession faith in Jesus Christ at 5 PM this evening, see the attached photo(children photo not available)

Please pray for Mr. Zong Saethao & family and Mr. Chong Ken Saeher, shaman in Ban Doi Tew, Nan Province. The rice field is ripened but a few workers for harvesting. By the way, please see the enclosed altar attached to the wall. The mark of the god of the sky hangs above the altar with a big capital letter "J"

In Christ,

Report on Border Ministry:

Just to keep you updated on Hmong Border Ministry this weekend at Huai Korn market place and Ban Mai market place, Nan Province:

We met a group of animistic people at Huai Korn and shared the Gospel of Jesus Christ to them. Several people were interested in the Gospel. I took two photos at Huai Korn of a girl carrying a heavy load through the gate and some are selling on the ground.

We met a group of believers and unbelievers at another border in Ban Mai, Nan Province on Sunday for Bible studies and sharing the Gospel. God encountered many people lives. Three sisters made profession of faith in Jesus Christ. Many others were interested in the True Living God. Several people told me that they needed the Lord. They are being held in bondage by evil spirits (ancestors) for a long time. They know that there is a true living God out there, but they just don't have chance get to know the True Living God because no body was telling them.

Now they know the truth, and willing to get rid of the spirits ( ancestors). They saw believers in the their village who were free of power of the evil sporits. They knew that the evil spirits control their lives and causing them sickness, bad dreams, bad luck, family problems. They wish they had known the true living God earlier.

Beside this, they said if the local authorities cooperate many people would become Christians, but due to the local authorities threaten and persecute, many people are afraid. However some people really dedicated their lives to the Lord, doesn't matter what happens to their lives. They are believing in God and will spend eternal life with God in heaven. It took 2 years for spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ to Hmong animistic people around Thai Lao border.

See the attached photos. Three sisters are happy to know the True Living God: Mrs. Choue Xiong, Mrs. Ger Vang, and younger siter Miss Kong Thao, age 16. Please pray for the new family memebers and the people in the village.

In Christ,

HIM Leader, Frontline Servant


Please pray for HIM Leader and the people who come over to receive the Gospel. They are all at great risk.

Dear Fran,

We went to Fucheefa areas for follow up prospects in Ban Thevada, ChiangKham District, Phayao and Ban Xaithong, Vienkaen District, Chiang Rai. We met with Mr. Tou Saeher, shaman and his family clan members. I shared the true Living God and presented salvation plan to them. They told me that they will become Christians. The shaman said, he will discuss with his clan members and will let me know soon. The shaman said if he becomes a Christian, he wants his family clan members to become Christians also. One of his clan members made profession of faith in Jesus Christ today, Mrs. Xia Saeher. (See attached photo)

Please pray for the new family members and the other family members that God will encounter their hearts and save them soon.

In Christ,

Pray for Becca




























Rebecca Story's ongoing heart condition:

The following is a recent report from Becca's mother, Denise. There will be followup reports on her condition.

Dear Friends and prayer partners,

I know each of you over the last 12 years have prayed for Rebecca and her heart condition.

We have just arrived home from our trip to Rochester, MN where we see specialist at the Mayo Clinic that have been monitoring her for many years. We have been blessed with the fact that she has been able to weather her severe condition this long. Unfortunately, the time has come.

With great sadness in my heart, Rebecca will be having Open Heart surgery in May, 2010. As parents, we don't have a lot of choices. If the heart remains, even though she is strong now and doing very well, her right ventricle will eventually collapse under the pressure and leakage from the tricuspid valve. She will eventually die due to right sided heart failure or would need heart transplantation if a donor is found.

This does not paint a pretty picture. So with that said, we will have the surgery. Even though I am so scared and at this time can not imagine the magnitude it will bring, I know that this is the only way we have to go. Her surgery will be performed in Minnesota. We will be there no longer than 2 weeks if all goes well. The surgery is intense and very complicated. It will last at least 4 or more hours. I can begin to describe its magnitude, but I know that God will be there with her and us during it all. If I did not have that hope, I could not go on.

With that said, I want to "thank you" for remembering her over the years and pray that you will continue to remember us during the upcoming months. Pray that I will have strength to deal with this and be strong for her. My heart is heavy now. It was unexpected at this early age, but I am so "Thankful" they can help her.

Love to each one of you. I could not go on without you!

God's Blessings

Denise
