The First of May, we welcomed 6 new students (three boys, three girls) and their guardians in Hope House. We emphasized the value of education and their responsibility as parents/guardians of each children. We told them the commitment of Hope House to these under privileged children. These students come from Buddhist-Animist background and villages that does not have basic education. It is our goal to bring these family at the feet of Jesus.
While with us, we take this opportunity that the students and their family will know the Lord. WE thank the Lord for another year of opportunity to reach out to these families.
Prayer Requests
1. Pray for the adjustments of the new students in Hope House. Spiritual battle is real at this time especially to the new students. Pray for covering and protection for each child.
2. Pray that the right worker/ helper in Hope House will come as we look after the 20 children there.
2. Smooth registration of Hope House Foundation.
3. Provision for the monthly needs of the Youth Hostel in Maerim and other admin cost of the foundation.
4. JOY will be in the Kindergarden by August. We need provision for his placement in school (35,000 Baht) due this May.
Thank you for praying with us. The prayer of a righteous man avails much.
