By TEAM Isaan, an Alliance church-planting team in Thailand
We have seen God do some amazing things in the lives of the Isaan people in northeast Thailand. We pray that this would be a taste of great things to come.
Prayers were answered with the work that God has done among the women in the Sawang Daen Din (SDD) prison. During a recent meeting, nine of the inmates prayed to receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Pray for them as they are discipled and formed into a church.
TEAM Isaan also started its first meeting in the Nong Khai women’s prison with more than 20 women attending and many more listening in from outside the classroom. This is the fourth group that is currently meeting. The women were excited to be there and eager to learn more about God. We will be meeting with them on alternate Fridays. Please keep praying for this group.
The men at SDD have started their second group. Those who are part of the new church there invited 12 friends to hear the gospel stories. Pray for us as we figure out all the logistics of these meetings. Also, pray for those who received Christ as they help to teach and witness to those in the new group. We are looking forward to the day when the message will reach outside the prison walls and we would see villages impacted by the love of Jesus.
