this thailand trip increased my hunger for lost souls to be saved... seeing God heal is a true miracle. I've been praying to see a healing miracle, and only got to see it now on my 3rd trip. Thank God for his grace for allowing me to see this. i prayed for an old woman who had knee pain. it was quite a funny encounter - me and a local pastor (ajarn tong) prayed for her, and after the prayer she smiled brightly. Ajarn tong asked her something in thai... she replied something in thai... and Ajarn Tong started shouting and clapping with joy... and i stared at him blur... he just made a gesture saying "no more", with a big big smile on his face. God is indeed a God of healing and wonder.

God's compassion makes grown men weep with softened hearts, makes the blind see, the lame walk. One of the most dramatic healings was this man who had weak legs and was pushed to us on a wheelcart by his wife. he has received jesus earlier, but wanted to receive healing. after prayer, Paul had a revelation from God asking him to tell the man to stand up and go home. and the man DID! leaving behind his walking stick... the villagers and the team stared with amazed looks on their faces. haha!

my faith is revived... full of praise and awe for the mighty god i serve. for the God who is alive in this day and age where people are lost in materialism, pride and sin. the love of God is amazing...
