Prang's mission

Last Wednesday I went with Prang to visit some folks, including Jay.  10 days prior she had been struck by lightning.

The storm came on a Sunday.  It rained very hard, and there were some huge thunder crashes.  Prang said her mom heard the news first that Jay had been hit.  Her mom was hysterical-"She's dead for sure!"

"No she isn't," Prang answered calmly.  "She didn't die."  Prang doesn't know how she knew, but she felt right away that it was God's plan.

 Jay, a pretty young Khmer-looking woman with a husband and son, suffered some burns to her face, chest and abdomen.  For Prang it was an opportunity to share that there is a God who is in charge. She prayed with Jay, asking God to heal her quickly and introduce Himself to her.

Later, I talked some more with Prang about her goals.  She loves reaching others, and would like to do that wherever she can, even if it one day means moving to another location.  She'd like to start a church in her village then have someone else take over.

In may she is tentatively scheduled to join Kevin Kane, a longtime friend of mine, and a team of mostly Cambodian Americans on a mission trip to Cambodia. 

By the way, here's a shot of Prang when we met her 3 years ago at Soi Cowboy. You might say we're rather proud of her.

their is a no photo poster behind her, LOL

i live in thailand and i am married to a thai, the problem there is the govermewnt does not support the people , finding Jesus may help some of the people there, but the real problem is the goverment , and their will always be women being used for sex, unless the goverment actualy takes notice and support the people,

Religion is great for those who need it, but it really does not matter on the faith, it is the social Respose ability of the people , and as long as those who are helping , know that they are there for the people not them and not for themselves,
so the church should not preach to these people unless they want to be preached too;

i am all for helping others, but i was raised Catholic, but have been buddhist for a long time now, long before i even started going to Thailand and met my wife,
so instead of spending money on converting people , why dont you just put in for social programs ,

Hey, Jim,
I'm glad you're blogging this stuff. Our men's group at church has been praying for Prang & the new believers in Buriram.

Can't wait to get there :-)

Thanks, I am praying for the converts in Buriram. And for someone to teach them. I have traveled in Nan, Chiang Mai, and Chaing Rai provinces. But I don't have a good map of Thailand. And I don't know where Buriram is. I do know a Bible professor at Kohn Kein......Roy
