Romans 10:14-15

Well Monday was pretty much awesome! A few of us got the chance to share the gospel with some students, and it was amazing! I am pretty sure it was the first time they had heard about Jesus Christ before, so, please just be in prayer that God will work in their hearts that they may ask more questions and stuff. So, the way it happened was pretty cool. On the university we have different stations set up by the faculty, such as english through song and games, english by movie, and english through internet. A few of my team members and myself was in the song and games station. We decided to play hangman, and one of our team members wrote Jesus as the word to guess. One girl in the room guessed it after a few letters because she said she was Catholic. So, after that we decided we could do more words that were about Christ and the gospel. We did salvation in hopes that they would ask questions or something. So, after they guessed all the letters they had no idea what the word meant, and they asked us to define it. This is the cool part; when they asked us to define the word we just laid out the whole gospel right there for them. It was totally amazing how God used us in that moment through such a silly nonsense game! I just pray that God's words will change their hearts, and that they will become more curious about the wonderful God who loves them all! Please pray specifically for these students!

Last night was really cool as well. At about 8:30pm all of the summer mission teams went on the roof of our apartments and just had a time of worship and prayer together. It was really a renewing and refreshing and a time when we gave thanks to God for all that He is for us and has done for us, as well as crying out to Him in prayer for this city and the students we will be hanging out with. We just sang some amazing worship songs and prayed and read scriptures when felt led to. It felt amazing to be able to have a time of worship together as a team to come together as one in Christ to praise the God we all love and to be able to pray for Thailand all together!

So, this week has been really really good so far! :) I look forward to seeing what God has planned for the rest of the week and summer!

Some prayer requests:
-continue to pray for the Thai students who are Christians but their families are not (A and O specifically)
-pray for the P. Lek and his health issues previously mentioned
-pray for the Thai Christians we are working with that God will continue to strengthen them and that He would use us to encourage them as much as they encourage us
-pray that myself and our team will remained focused on God always and that we are obedient to what He is calling us to do
- pray for me personally that if it is God's will He will place a student in my path to build a relationship with over the summer-- if this is not God's will for me while I am here pray that I do not become discouraged and that I remember that God will use me in whatever way He wants and that I will trust Him completely to know that He will guide me always
-also pray for our english camp that is coming up July 4-7 at Pattaya.. this is the weekend where we are going to do the "Everything" skit and share the gospel to everyone hopefully.. please pray that God will lead many students who are seeking Him without even knowing it to attend this camp.. pray that God leads us as a team in preparing for this weekend! :)

I love you all and thanks so much! Miss you!
