| But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. II Corinthians 4:3-4 Dear Loved Ones In Christ, May/June 2010 We hope this letter finds you all doing well. We write this letter to ask that you lift us up in Prayer. As you have probably seen on the news Thailand is in a war against the government. As many protesters went into the streets and caused a lot of inconvenience here. They were able to close the train station, close shopping centers, and block many roads. Stopping vehicles and checking them. They also went into a hospital and were checking for Army people. So far 26 people have died. Many others have been injured. It is mixed opinions on the politics and the people are turning against each other. They say it could turn into a Civil War before it’s all over. As I write this letter the government is planning to go in with the Army to clear the protesting site. Please Pray for our safety in this situation. (Pray for a hedge of Protection around us.) Meanwhile, we keep in our minds all the souls that need to be saved as we keep going for our Lord. We were not able to get down to 2 of our Churches because of all the situations there in Bangkok. But I am sure it’s all in God’s plan. God has allowed us to add a new Ministry in a different area to teach English and the Bible to those who come. The class is really growing. Also, Bro. Chalome the Pastor in Mae Hong Song was asked to come and teach in the village next to the Church where there is no Christians. They are all Buddhists and spirit worshipers. What a Blessing to get to go there and teach the gospel. The Lord is still opening doors to get the gospel out. We Thank God for one precious soul being saved this month. His name is: Brecha Tongley. We currently have 1,245 people studying the Bible with us through Correspondence Courses. We Praise the Lord for this as it continues to get the gospel in the hands of those who need it. Prayer Request Please pray for the Pastor at the Leper Church down south. They might have to amputate one of his feet from the leprosy. Please remember the situation with Dill, the one handicapped whose Mom took her out of the home to go to do witch doctor stuff on her. She snuck the phone to call one of our workers and said that they were forcing her to do these rituals. But we can not find out the exact village that she’s in because in Thailand there are so many villages and no addresses to them. She asked for everyone to Pray for her. And she really missed living here with us. We also have a very special Prayer request for you. We received word this week from the Government orphanage that Jeremy has been matched with a family in England. We had to do some more test, but they are 85% sure he will go to this family. We are waiting on the final details and paperwork from here and England and than we will know for sure what will happen. While it hurts to see him go we know that we were able to give him love and care while he’s been with us. Coming from being abandoned on the side of the road, to living at an orphanage for the first year of his life, to being with us for a year and a half Jeremy has come a long way. He’s loving and caring. He has a sweet personality and his smile will melt your heart. We are going to miss him when he goes, but we are so Happy to have been a part of his life. We will keep you informed on the status of him as we know more details. It could take a month or several before he goes. But we will continue to Love him and cherish the moments and memories we have until then. We will have pictures in the next Prayer Letter, because of everything going on over here. We hope this letter will get to America. Please continue to pray for us. We Love you all and are Praying for you. Until next time… God Bless! Love In Christ, Mike & Heather Ivey |
