150709 Wednesday

N: All right. Today was yet another awesome day. Totally mind-blowing. My mind is so blown that it gonna smash into the screen anytime, for I am super sleepy. Anyways, today was meant to be a 'lighter' day as there was less activities planned and we were supposed to have shopping in the afternoon.

J: Yeah, my entire body is itching now, thanks to all the bites, but the food really is good over here, like the waffles! Shopping was a short one as we all gathered to buy some food for Pastor Eng Kiat's surprise birthday party!

N: Yup. But on to that later. We don't really follow the schedule and stick to the script for our trip, and really fly by the spirit. Rather un-Presbyterian. Oopss. For example, we went to a hairdresser's place for a visitation and ended up doing a deliverance on her customer, who had just came to know Christ just before we reached the house. The spirit is really leading the way and opening paths for us. Awesome. And because of that everything was pushed back. But it really was a eye-opening lesson for us, as WanHsi got us to 'handle' the deliverance, and En Min was the person leading it.

J: It is really hands on, getting to learn more on how to do this entire deliverance thing, and seriously, isn't any fixed formula, apart from learning to listen and seek the Holy Spirit, during the entire process, as to what is going on, what spirits to cast out, and how to pray or going about doing it. It took 2 hours, and really, isn't some speed thing that often a times, one can lose focus or get distracted, and start losing our focus point at the end of 5 minutes, which was what happened.

N: Yeah. We also prayed for the Singburi church, which suffered a recent split due to differences between members. Apparently one group was more 'evangelical and on' while the other group was more subdued and homely. We went to both churches and prayed over them for reconciliation.

J: We stood in proxy for the church, seeking forgiveness for the church members and it did touch one church member who shared what was going on in regards to the split, where we all knelt down and just shook the heavens with our pleads.

Thereafter, we went over to Christina's place, a church member whose family was troubled and parents who are not believers. We prayed blessings and reconciliation and for healing to be upon her, as she was frequently the one who cooked all our meals, it was just really something we could give, out of love :)

N: Ok. Back to Pastor Eng Kiat's B-day celebration. After a particularly fantastic meal for dinner, we surprised Pastor Eng Kiat with a cake we bought from the shopping mall. We then literally washed the feet of Pastor Eng Kiat and his entire family one by one and proclaimed a personal blessing or prophecy into their lives. That was quite an experience, eh?

J: Yeap, how often do we really get to do that, and it really is a culture of honor we are going about, honoring this entire family who have been toiling in Thailand all these years. It was really heart-warming time where we could encourage and spur each other on, in this walk of faith. After that, we had our communion together with the Thais, which was again, a different experience from our usual city lifestyle. Everything's really simple and old school.

N: Yeah, Thais are really an incredible people and Pastor Eng Kiat really cares for them deeply. What a shepherd of souls is he!! Anyway, we ended up returning 'home' super late as usual. Actually, a lot of time is spent travelling in the 'Song-tiao', which is like a supersized tuk-tuk. And we have our very own 'Song-tiao' FM, with Mark and Andrew with our resident DJs along with a backup singing crew of 16 people.

J: And when the "Song Tiao" travels along, it makes a whole lot of noise, that we hope, with our voices raised, will hopefully bless the people along with our singing. But on a cooler discovery, for those who think Covenant Presbyterian church are the only one who fasts a meal every Wednesday, there is hope! Apparently, Tachang church fasts a meal every wednesday too, to pray for breakthrough! So it really encourages!

Yeah.There have been reports of people hearing funky grooves that emanate out from nowhere and are gone in an instant. If you are travelling along the roads of Inburi, be advised that you are not safe from the phenomenum know as the 'Song Tiao' FM!! And if you are reading this, you are the resistance. 'Song-tiao' FM, out!!
