More precious seed planted in a heart

A few days after moving into my new home, a 13-year-old girl who lives nearby came to ask me, 'Would you help teach me English?' I agreed that she could come twice a week. In our conversation about when I would be available to teach, I explained that I wasn't just an English teacher but here to work with Christians in Pak Phanang. At the end of her second visit she said she was interested in learning a bit about Jesus. I had some Christian short story books for children in Thai/English so she picked out two and took them home. A day later, she returned the books, saying that her parents had told her she was not allowed to become a Christian. But, she then asked if I was free for her to visit on Sunday. I explained that I went to church. She then asked if she could come along too, just to see, without having to do anything, adding her parents would be ok with that. Of course she was welcome to come along and see! So, on Sunday she came to church for the very first time...and asked if she could come along again.

- Please pray for this 13 year old girl, N, that she will experience God's love for her and that she will continue to desire to learn more about Jesus.
- Pray that many individuals will have personal opportunities to meet Christians all over the country to learn more about Jesus - so pray for Spirit-led encounters and for more churches to be planted in communities with no witness for Christ.
