As well as receiving completed lessons from the students who study with us, we also get many letters from them. Some ask for prayer for different difficulties they are facing. Others have questions about God and what they are learning, and others have testimonies about what God has done for them, and answers to prayers.

These letters encourage us, and show how God's love can change the hearts and lives of Thai people. Below are some of these testimonies. We share them with you so that you too may be encouraged and that through them God may be glorified.

Natawadee: I had a problem as my family are so very poor. It looked like I must leave school, but I kept praying. God answered me, and He gave me work. All I have to do is help one of the teachers take care of the younger children before school, and after school, and sometimes during school, and I get free meals and accommodation at school. Thank God.

Suchinda: What is my life like now? I want to tell you. As I learned from your lessons, I have come to know God. Now I know what it is to have real peace in my life. When I have problems I pray as Jesus taught us. After praying I feel good. I think that what makes me happy is when I trust God and give the problems to Him.

Somchai: I went to the church you told me about. My first time there, I feel that God is with me and touched me. I felt warm in my heart when I listened to the songs we sang in the church. It is like God was very close to me. Please pray I can go again.

Pakpen: I prayed for Jesus to give me wisdom in my exam, and He answered. I passed, and got 3rd highest marks in the class too. Exciting for me, Thank you Jesus.

Portu: I feel better now that I know Jesus, and I’m doing better at school too. I’ve learnt to pray before exams. Whenever I have problems I pray to God. And things do get better. I’m telling you the truth. Jesus can always help us.

Hassya: Most of my friends have left our village, and I’m feeling lonely, and also anxious about things. But every time I start reading the Bible you sent me, all those fears go and I feel better. Sometimes I cry as I read it, but I also get encouraged. I want to follow Jesus. Can you pray for me.

Wilai: I lost my last lesson, and I couldn’t remember your address. For weeks I’ve prayed I could find your address. And today you sent me the lesson again.

Sunachar: I haven’t done well at school, but after studying with you I learnt that Jesus can help me. So I prayed and this term I passed all my exams.

Wichuda: One day my jeans disappeared. I searched everywhere but couldn’t find them. All my family helped look – nearly all day. But with no success. I remembered finally to pray and ask God’s help. Then immediately we found them. God does care.

Arunya: I used to never think before doing things. I did things wrong, and then realised afterwards. But since I’ve come to know Jesus this has changed. Now before I decide to do anything I pray, as I know its easy for me to make mistakes. And now that I know Jesus I can admit my mistakes and learn from them. That’s really true.

Buhayn: I am the only one at my school who studies with you. I’ve tried to get some of my friends to join me, but no one was interested. So I asked God to make my friends want to know Him. Now there are 6 of my friends who’ve told me they want to get your lessons too. So here are all their names…

Sutarporn: I used to have trouble at school, because I didn’t want to study. So my marks were very low. But now I have God’s Spirit in me, and I feel Him telling me to study. So I’ve started working harder at school, and in our last exams I got over 90%.

Nongrewadee: I don’t do well at school, so I was excited when you said Jesus can help us study. Last month the teacher made me write down what she said in English. I just couldn’t do it, and was totally discouraged. Then I remembered about Jesus, and I’ve been asking Him to help me. Also I started doing extra work for English. Yesterday our teacher made us write English dictation, I understood every word, and got them all right. That helps me be sure that God can help me. Thank you God.

Penapon, mother of Borlune: My daughter received your lessons, but she was still young so I helped her do them. Through them I myself became a Christian. My daughter was born with a serious blood disease. After I became a Christian I started praying for God to heal her. For a year I prayed, and slowly she got better. Now she is totally healed. Now can you pray for my husband to become a Christian too.

Kulnan: I used to get bullied a lot at school. It hurt so much. I didn’t know what to do and I felt very alone. Finally I remembered to pray, and asked Jesus to make the bullying stop. That day after I prayed, the teacher saw them do it and helped me, and they haven’t done it since.

Saiyut: I do enjoy learning about Jesus through your lessons. I still remember when you came to my school. It was fun, and different from anything I’d seen or heard. I still remember that song you taught, “Jesus loves us all”. Even now if I’m feeling discouraged I think of that song, and often sing it. That truth always lifts my spirits.

Wirat: Your lessons have helped me a lot. I’m in the Church, and now I teach the young children so I use your lessons to teach them, and they enjoy them too.

Sangjan: “One day out in our rice field a big poisonous snake came at me. My friend saw it in time and shouted, and the snake and I both fled from each other! I think God helped my friend see it.”

Suparat: One day, I was on the back of my mother’s motorcycle, going to Mae-sai. We turned into a small street and a truck came straight at us. Somehow we escaped. I don’t know how, but I believe that God helped us and He protected us.

Arsamee: Thank you so much for bring me to know God more. I really want to know God forever. I never stop. When I study the God’s story I feel a strength to continue my life’s walk.
