Fang!

Fang is a very small town with a lot of wonderful people. We are staying outside the town in a beautiful village with a big, green garden, and too many animals that are singing all night long. We have been here for almost two weeks now, and I thank God every day for sending me here. Every day we are at a Shan school where we are having devotion for the children and English teaching for the children and the staff at the school. We are also helping making food for the children, and of course playing with them, and just loving them. Most of the children are refugees from Burma, they all have a life story we can’t even imagine. All of them are poor. Some of the children don’t have parents, they were killed on their way to Thailand. Others have parents that drinks and beats their children. They are so filled with fear, and all they want is just someone that loves them.

As time goes by the more I realize how blessed I am in everything. I have so much to give, because I have received so much from God. And He is still taking me new steps every day, deeper in His love, making me understand more of who He is, and He is building trust in my heart. Almost every day I have to face situations that force me to either give up, or admit that I am weak, and put my trust in God. And God is really faithful.

In the evenings we are going to house meetings on orange farms or rice fields. There we meet people that loves God and people that doesn’t know Him. We share testimonies of what God has done in our lives, we read from the Bible, give word of encouragements, we worship and pray together and we lift His name on high in that place. Every time we see people receiving Jesus. It is powerful.

Thank you so much for prayers. That really makes a difference. I am now totally healthy (in spite of all bugs, crocodiles and frogs I have eaten), and God uses me so much, even when I am not aware of it. But there is always a battle going on, either, physical, mental or spiritual, there is always a fence to climb. But God gives me the strength I need to take one step at a time. He is everything, I am nothing, He knows me more than I even know myself, and still He loves me more than I can ever imagine, and He, the almighty God, He wants to live in my heart and let His kingdom come down on earth through me... That is the greatest of all things.
