2nd Village Burmese Refugees

Last post about the weekend outreach! :-) The second village we went to was a Burmese refugee village. Pote (not sure how to spell his name) is one of the house parents in Hope House. He and his wife help take care of the children there. This village is where his mother and father live. They are Thai but they are Christians and felt the Lord call them to this village. So they are living there to reach these people. They asked up to come and minister to them and also to help with food bags for some of the poorest families. I took pictures of the hills I'm not sure now which one is Burma but it's one of the mountains in these pictures. I didn't realize we were that close.




Ning is also one of the workers with PFA she is a Right hand. She takes care of lots of stuff and serves as a translator. She knew this plant could blow bubbles. It was amazing she picked the leaf split the stem and used it as a blower and the juice inside made bubbles it was awesome.

Hope House has a few openings for children. 3 of the children from this village are going to come and live in Hope House. 2 girls and 1 boy. One of the girls mother and father left her at the temple and abandoned her. She was going house to house in the village but had no home. She is only 5 years old. I will post pictures of the new kids when they arrive. :-)







"Look dad a bug"
The other kids from Hope House evangelism team met us at the 2nd village. Deborah taught them a drama. They did an amazing job.

My girls did their dance again. :-)
Some of the kids shared their testimonies. To me that is one of the most powerful things. These kids came from villages like this and here they are sharing how Jesus has changed their lives and leading worship!











Prayer:

We had about 10 people come forward and ask Jesus into their hearts!! Then we had a ministry time for anyone who needed or wanted prayer. Lots of people came forward for that. Tyson prayed for a lady who had really bad arthritis in her hand. Her fingers were in a fist and she couldn't open her hand. Ty and our interpreter prayed for her. She was then able to open 2 of her fingers. Then our interpreter told her to say in the name of Jesus I am healed. She did and she was then able to open all of her fingers in and out. It was really awesome.

There was also another man who was limping he hurt his leg working. After receiving prayer he walked away with no pain. Praise Jesus!!!

This is one of the hutts. In some of these there are 11 or 12 people all living there.
