Recently we had a baptism ceremony in Chiang Khong, Thailand. There was a total of nine people who were baptized including Somboon's father. Many of you may remember seeing the pictures of Somboon's father receiving Christ as his Savior last May on this blog. He was Shaman (witchdoctor) in his village. He has now taken the step in obedience through baptism. The others being baptized were students who lived at the Hmong Foundation Hostel. Some of them received Christ as their Savior this year and others last year. We praise the Lord for His mighty workings among the Hmong people.

Prayer Request!
Recently I talked with the new boy named Xai Xong. He comes from a Christian
family but he said he was not a Christian.
I plan to share the gospel with him. Please pray for him to
open his heart to God.
Everyone here is doing good.
God bless you.

Please pray!
Hello every one. I ask
you help me to pray for this young girl. If God speak to your heart you can help her as you
can.
God
bless you,
Somboon
My name is Seang
La Seachang. I was born in a Christian family. I am the 3rd
child in my family. I have 4 brothers and sisters. My family serves
God in the church in our village church.
I accepted Christ
at a Christian youth camp. Before that I didn’t know God. Before
that, I went to school at a Buddhist school and they taught Buddhism.
Every day I had to wai the Buddha statue. I didn’t understand why we had
to wai (placing both hands together) in the Buddha statue. All of my
friends would wai the Buddha statue. It was just me who didn’t. The
teacher yelled at me. I started to feel scared about these things.
I had many questions in my heart. I didn’t want to go to the
temple. I had bad feelings about going in and I had no peace. One
day, I had major issues with my friends. I was very sad. I didn’t
know what to do. At night, I would go outside and find a quiet place to
pray. I didn’t know if God was really there or not, even though I was
born in a Christian family. But I felt an inner peace every time I would
pray. When I prayed, I had peace. I would hear God’s voice speaking
to me. At that time, when I was very troubled, God told me to read the
Bible and to go study Bible. I didn’t know where that voice came
from. I tried to look for the voice, but I couldn’t find it. At
that time, my friends told me that I was crazy for Jesus, and I didn’t like it
because it made me feel like I was crazy. After these things, I went
home. I was preparing to continue studying. But I had no peace at
all. I prayed about what I should do. God told me for the 2nd
time, to serve God. It was a still small voice that had a lot of power in it.
I cried and I didn’t know what to do. I talked to my father about
it. My father told me to pray again, so I prayed again. I told God
that if He really was calling me and wanted to use me, to speak to me again for
the third time. And God did just that. I prayed and devoted myself
to study Bible. At that second, I believed God with all of my
heart. I really felt God’s love. When I surrendered to Jesus, my
life totally changed. I had a goal in my life. I had peace in my
heart with God every day. God changed this girl from someone who didn’t
know her own worth to someone who knows that she has value in Christ.
After that, many good things came into my life. I still had problems,
though. But one thing that I have never forgotten is that God is always
with me in the middle of these problems. I praise God that He has called
me and He uses me in order to release Hmong people from the power of Satan and
to help Hmong children to walk in the way of God through the power of
God. My life has meaning because I have met the Lord of my life.
The amazing thing is that my younger brother committed his life to the Lord and
wants to serve God also. God is using my family for His work. In
the future, I want to be a servant of God. I want to be a missionary in
Laos. I want to help Hmong women who don’t know God. I want to
share the gospel with them.
Right now I am
currently studying Bible at Bangkok Institute of Christian Theology. I
will be starting my second year in June. Tuition for one year is 36,000
baht. This includes room and board, but not personal spending
money.
God bless you.

Please pray for the Hmong in Vietnam!
Please pray for the Hmong in Vietnam. A book I (Duane) am reading Vietnam's Christians by Reg Reimer states there "some 350,000 Hmong Christians in Vietnam." They see persecution on a daily basis. Read the following article:
