Just came out of BYT for a couple of days for new brakes and new tires, and could not resist to urge to send you 2 videos that Jonathan Hill made while visiting BYT with the media truck last December during our evangelistic campaign.
The drone captured beautiful bird’s eye views of our village, clinic/house, and surrounding jungle mountains.
In other news, the poor, the sick, the elephants, the snakes, and difficult pathways are always with us. Now in the dry season the dust lies 6-8 inches deep, covering the rocks and roots making the motorbike rides very difficult and hard to breath even with a mask.
Church attendance is still very good. It is absolutely wonderful to see the young people and adults taking part leading out in Sabbath school, mission story, special songs, prayers and testimonies.
We have invited a pastor to come and do a communion service this Sabbath. (It’s been over a year since our last communion)! I was able to preach about the deeper significance of the Lord’s Supper this Sabbath, ending with the lovely scene in heaven when Jesus sits down with us again to partake of the marriage supper of the Lamb pleading with them to make things right with Jesus. Oh please pray these people will be there!
“Even in the most difficult fields..Everyone is to hear the last call to the marriage supper of the Lamb.” EV 21
Just 3 days ago a man in GeGhah village went hunting in the jungle during the evening hours. He met an elephant that charged him. He fled for his life and barely made it to a rocky section where he dove down in between 2 large rocks. The elephant stood watch over him trapping him in all night long and into the morning. Finally he was able to pry himself out and make it home. In LaGlah village 2 wild elephants have been coming every evening and morning. They have partially destroyed one poor person’s hut and many of their garden crops. I am constantly praying for the safety of my terrified people.
Our water supply has stopped up several times only producing thick mud, however there is amazing news! The government of Thailand is very good. They are planning to do 3 things for our village:
1. Put in a huge water system for BYT!
2. Bring in electricity via hydro power! (Already starting with huge pipes)
3. Internet is also predicted for all of BYT by the end of May!
4. The news is also circulating that they plan to make solid roads to 3 villages that have horribly difficult access. GeGhah, NyaLeGwee, and CoDeJo.
So incredible way out here! Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
