July 8 -July 16

As Sarah told you in the last update, Pastor K, a champion for the persecuted church, passed away on Saturday night. He was 47 years old. Many of our friends here traveled with him from the hospital in Ubon back to his country so he could die with his family there. Before he went to be with Jesus, everyone gathered around him and Chansamone read the last chapters of the book of Revelation. Then they prayed together and Pastor K waved goodbye and went to his eternal home. And in that moment what was read to him became reality. It was a very sad week here but in the sadness is joy. Joy in knowing that after all Pastor K’s hardship and imprisonments for the name of Jesus he finally saw the face of his Savior. Pastor K was a major spiritual leader in the Christian community in his country. Over 700 people attended him funeral. Each of them representing a life touched by Jesus through Pastor K. Please continue to pray for the persecuted church and the furthering of the Gospel despite the oppression.

On Sunday morning, John and I taught a class at Mekong Church Posai. We had a great time and the Lord definitely blessed our time there. Its hard to believe that considering John and I’s past that anyone would let us get up in front of a group and say anything much less actually talk about Jesus. It was such a privilege to teach others what God has taught us. On Monday I got pink eye and it was pretty difficult to find someone to take me to the doctor because all of the English speakers had gone to Lao. I first got taken to a temple to see someone that they told me was a doctor but I don’t think she was because there was a dog running around in there. But I did finally get to a real doctor and I’m using some drops but its now spread to the other eye. The rest of the week we continued teaching at school and John did some construction. It was a slow week but it gave of plenty of time to spend with the Lord. On Saturday, we all went to Ubon with Suay to do some shopping. It was a much needed reconnection with civilization! We got to eat at KFC for lunch and it was great! On Sunday, John attended Mekong Church Natan and Sarah and I went to Mekong Church Nonprassert. As I sat there I just looked around the room at all the faces of God’s children. I love worshiping with them. I usually have no idea what anyone is saying but I know whom they are singing to and speaking about. On Monday, a friend of ours went to the hospital to have her baby. We were able to visit with her before she delivered and to pray for her. While we were there we met a 13-year-old girl who had been raped and was in labor. Please pray for her and her salvation. She is giving away her daughter so please pray that the baby will be adopted into a Christian home.

As we begin our last week serving in Nonprassert, I don’t think that its really hit me that we are leaving yet. The time of ministry that I’ve had here has been great and I have learned so much. It’s gone much farther than the two week mission trip. We’ve learned what its like to be missionaries. Not every situation has been ideal or glamorous but its been real. We’ve seen the daily hardships of these people and we have seen their faith in action. We’ve seen them trust God when they don’t know how they are going to pay the bills. We’ve seen them display the comfort and peace that their Savior gives during the loss of a dear friend. We’ve seen them confident of God’s call and commission of their lives in the face of their oppressors. The Lord has shown me that its great to go a remote place and sacrifice my time and comfort for two weeks or even two months, but He’s shown me that he requires much more of me than this. The Lord has used us here but what can really be accomplished in two months? What will really impact eternity? It’s a life used by God. Not just two weeks or two months of my life, but the whole thing. Please continue to pray for the persecuted church and for the family of Pastor K. Please pray that God would continue to reveal himself to the nations.

July 1st-July 7th

Thank you to everyone who has been praying for us and for the people we are ministering alongside. John, Erin and I started off our week by attending church at Non Prassert. We prayed that we would be able to worship and somehow understand what was going on even though there was a language barrier. The Lord answered our prayers by having Suay and Pon translate for us.
This week Erin and I taught in the schools and John did construction. John helped Tom build a baptistry in his church. The children in the schools are having mid-terms soon so Erin and I are trying to get get them ready for that (keyword trying). Friday, we went with Jay, his wife and a few other people to pass out Bibles in three villages around Jay's church. Most of the people we gave Bibles to had never heard of Jesus. Jay said we were truly reaching to the ends of the earth that day. It is hard to wrap my brain around that considering I live in the "Bible-Belt" and I have more than one Bible in my room and live around stores that sell them as well. I am learning just how blessed I am and how I have turned that blessing into a curse and taken it for granted. I think that is what we are all learning. How selfish we are, how much we get and how little we give, not just of our money but our time and our lives. That became even more clear on Saturday when we received the news that a pastor from another country was moments from passing away, we later learned that he did in fact pass away. This man has known persectution and what it means to stand in the gap for people. He lived his life as a bond-servant for Jesus and suffered in His name. His faith is now sight. I started thinking of this man's life and what we had heard about it from other people and I started thinking about suffering. I have no idea what that means. I don't suffer for Jesus. I live in a country where I don't fear for my life because of what I believe, at the most someone might not like me. Most people don't care that you believe in Jesus, it's okay if that's what you believe. Around here it isn't like that. Spending a summer without hot water, or air conditioning isn't suffering for Jesus. Risking your life for the cause of Christ so just one person can hear about Jesus, standing up for the persecuted church in your country, this is suffering. That is what this man did. His life was a testimony of the grace of God in his life and will continue to be until this age is over. All three of us have been challenged by the Lord in different ways. We are so thankful to be here and learn from such great men and women of God. Continue to pray for us and for everyone here.

Until He Comes....Sarah

June 24th- June 30th

Thank you all for the prayers that you have lifted up for us this past week. We are so grateful for your commitment to prayer and to us. This week has been a fun time of learning for us. On Sunday, Sarah and I worshipped at Mekong Church Nonprassert and John went with the team from Lighthouse to Mekong Church Natan. It was my first time to meet with the Ladies Sunday School Class that I got to teach when I was here last year. Even though we don't speak the same language we are bonding together as sisters in Christ and the LORD let us enjoy our kinship that morning. Two ladies from the class, Weepa and Lumiai are expecting. Weepa's due date is in 2 weeks and Lumiai's is this week so please keep them in your prayers. At the worship service, Sarah and I had know idea what anyone was talking about but we know that the LORD does. It is an amazing thing to see God from their eyes... He is so much bigger than we tend to give Him credit for. On Monday, Sarah and I taught at school in the morning and that afternoon we worked with the team from Lighthouse. We were able to pass out Bibles in a village and share our testimonies with some of the people that we met. John and I got to speak to a man who had previously read some literature about Jesus. He told us that he held to two religions, Christianity and Buddhism. Jay(pastor of Mekong Church Posai) shared with him from the New Testament and he tried to show him as best he could that no one can serve to masters. As John and I stood there it was obvious to us that you cannot serve buddha and Jesus but the Lord reminded me to not think to highly of myself because how often am I just like this man. I don't bow my knee to buddha but I am too often found kneeling to the world. Idols are easily hidden in America and that day I was reminded to search out the idols in my life and destroy them. Please keep this man in your prayers; please pray that God would break down the lies that are built up in his mind and that the LORD would give us all an undivided heart. Sarah also met a buddhist woman named Pren-Jit. She was able to spend some time with her and the lady really bonded to her. We are suppose to go visit her again this week so please keep her salvation in your prayers also. That afternoon, we planted a field of rice. Its harder than it sounds. Knee deep mud, no shoes, bent over for hours... that pretty sums it up. We had a blast! On Tuesday, we took a trip aross the river to the country next to us. We went to take some books to our friends. I have to admit all of us were a little apprehensive at first but God is the one who walks with us and is our protector. The backpacks were heavy and the sun was hot. But God blessed us that day and 221 books made it safely to a land where people need hope. We would have to say that the major difference between Thailand and this country is that the people there don't smile. They are in desperate need of hope and unfailing Love. Please pray for our friends in this country; pray that the eyes of their oppressors would be blinded when the need to be blinded and that they would see when they need to see; pray for the presecuted; pray for living conditions that they have to endure; pray for the spread of real Hope and that salvation would spring up from the ground. On Wednesday, we woke up to take the first hot shower in about a month in our hotel. So praise the LORD! We continued our time across the river. We visited some more groups of our friends and played with some of the children. We also got to see a breathtaking waterfall. In the afternoon we crossed back into Thailand and drove back to Nonprassert. On Thursday the Lighthouse team had to go back to America. :( it was a sad afternoon. We really miss their sweet spirit and we miss having some more english speakers around. That afternoon we got to go to the Lotus and eat at KFC! It was a little comfort from home that we needed. Friday was a day to get back to normal, we returned to school and construction work. Today, Saturday, was a day of relaxation. There was a birthday party tonight for Ethan, Jay's son, who turned 4, and there was also a cookout for the radio station. We had a great time playing with all the kids and spending time with our new friends. It's at times like these that we really feel like we are a part of the family here. Thank you so much for taking the time to read our blogs and to pray for us. Your prayers will have eternal impact for the Kingdom and we are so thankful for them. Sarah and I will be updating every Saturday night so please check back next week. We love you all!

Until He comes...

Our First Week June 17th-23rd

This was our first week without the team being here. Sunday we went to Mekong Church Natan. This is Tom's church and Neville was preaching a series so we decided to go so we could hear a sermon in english. Tom asked if one of us would share our testimony so we decided that I would do it. Monday, Erin and I taught in the school while John did construction. We didn't realize that we would be real teachers with papers to grade but that is what we are doing. It gets easier everyday and if nothing else we are having fun with the kids. John has been helping Tom with some work around his church. Tuesday night, Neville and Christine asked us to come and have dinner with them at their house. We enjoyed it so much! It was a great time of encouragement for us. Christine made some chicken macaroni that was so good. We loved eating something besides thai food. They also played Days of Elijah for us and it reminded us of Longview. Wednesday, John did more construction and Muai asked Erin and myself to go with her to Ubon to pick up a team that was coming in from Nashville. They are from Lighthouse Church, where Tom and Chan are from. Thursday, we taught in the schools and John did more work. We taught the team some songs that we did in Khao Lak so they could do them with us on Friday. Friday, we went to a school about 30 minutes away from Non Prassert to promote the radio station around here and to help in the schools, we split up into 3 rooms. Some of us went into the Bible room and shared the Gospel, some of the group did music and then the rest of us went into an english room. It was a lot of fun and the kids had a great time. We have had some down time which has been very refreshing. There is a library on the compound that has a lot of christian books. We have spent a lot of time reading and meditating on the word. It has been so nice to spend so much time with the Lord and to re-focus. We are getting used to the food, heat, insects and cold showers. Continue to pray for us as we minister alongside the families that live here. We are so thankful to be here. Until He Comes...Sarah

Sunday Ministry

Today we awoke in Ubon after a late night of church planting and a 2 hour drive. We headed to Non-Prassert. Non Prassert is were the ministry of the Mercy Foundation and Mekong Evangelical Church (Baptist) are located. The service began at 10am and we arrived sharply at 10:10. We walked in to a room of about 200 believers (of less then 5 years) worshiping with nothing being held back. It was an awesome service. We shared the drama, sang, and preached. They fed us a great spread of food (mostly identifiable but all good).

Sunday afternnoon we loaded the bus and headed for another village Don-He. This is a village that actually had a church about five years ago but the leadership left and the church all but folded. There was one family that continued to pray for God to bring a church to their village. They even had a church building that had been built years ago. We set a huge stage up and had a blowout service. This village has about 700 homes and the largest Buddha Statue you have ever seen. There has been a guy in training at the seminary here at Mekong Bible Seminary that has been discipled over the last 4 years and will be Pastoring the plant. We had a massive turnout with a similar service clearly storying through God's plan of creation, the fall, crucifixion, and restoration of man. Each person who came got there first Bible.

Saturday Nights Ministry

Wow! the last two days have been a whirl-wind of ministry. The ministry in the Non-Jik was incredible. This village has several 100 homes. We had a meal for the community and then a service. During the service our team participated in several fun songs to get people involved and give them a chance to laugh at the funny farong (Americans/foreigners). Our team shared the drama once again and then after the scene of the crucifixion David preached with Chansamone translating. After sharing with them the good news of a Creator God who has made a way for us to be restored to Him through Jesus. the drama team ended the service with the resurrection and restoration scenes. The service was very effective at laying a foundation for future evangelism and giving the believers a starting point to begin sharing Christ with their friends and neighbors. One lady said, "we have NEVER had anyone come to our village and talk about God." After the service we laid hands on the planting team and prayed for them as they begin this venture. The implications of this ministry are huge as they are just a few miles from the Cambodia border.
One funny note is that we Farong we quite mesmerized by the giant geckos devouring the bugs on the illuminated wall behind the stage. We are talking 10-12 inches long and heads 2 inches wide.

Ministry in Ubon Ratchachani

We arrived in Ubon Ratchachani via Bangkok yesterday (friday). Ubon is a province in Northeast Thailand. The ministry here is a amazing. This morning we awoke early ate breakfast and headed over to a property recently purchased for Mekong Church Ubon. The church was begun about ten years ago. Chansamone was teaching English at Ubon University and launched the church with University students. The first Convert was Pu who is now the Pastor of the Church. They are in the process of building a 300 seat worship building and we had the privledge of helping to pour 7 of the foundational columns.

This afternoon and evening we will be working in a village called Non Jik to help launch a new church. There are atleast 1000 people living in this village. There has never been a Church in this village. This is the home village of Pu (the pastor of the Ubon Church). Pu's father became a Cristian and then other families followed. They have been traveling back to Ubon 2 hours for the last 2 yrs. Since Pu followed Christ 10 years ago several Non Jik families have also believed and the time is ripe for a church plant. We will be doing a Drama depicting creation, the fall of man, the crucifiction of Jesus, and resurection and salvation of man. David will be preaching and we will be singing.

Sunday we will worship in Non Prasert, were the mother Church is located. Directly after church we will drive to another village in the Lueng Nokta District (another 2 hours away).

tsunami orphans

The last several days we traveled to a local school where we met with orphans who have been adopted by relatives/friends after the tsunami. We sang songs, played frisbee, and blew bubbles. Dave shared the gospel to the orphans and their families. He explained the importance of the bondage that sin brings as well as repentance, which brings so much freedom and life. Tom, Suwanne, Suay, and Muay have been insturmental in the rebuilding of lives, and houses after the devastating wave. We are learning some Thai words and also getting used to the heat! We took a ferry ride today to go and see some of the houses that Mercy Foundation built after the tsunami. So far this has been a great trip. We have enjoyed getting to know Tom and the others.

Sunday @ Khao Lak

We arrived in Bangkok on saturday with all but 4 bags (which have been returned, save 1). Caught a connecting flight on AirAsia to Phuket. Dinner and some shopping for supplies at the Lotus (walmart + foodcourt= thai mall). We finished our journey of about 40 hours in Khao lak. This is the sight of much of the Tsunami damage. As we drove into town we desended from a hill with a resort from much many of the videos that captured the devestating wave were taken.
Today (sunday), we had breakfast and worshiped the King of the Universe. We are presently getting ready to visit with 60 Tsunami Orphans to share with them the love and hope of Jesus.
We are also prayful for our church home Longview as it is 1:42pm here and 1:42am in MS. As you awaken this morning we attest and affirm that the Lord's Mercies are new every morning. We pray for the service at Longview that Jesus is lifted high.
David

all together

We are finally all together (except for Levi who is already in Bangkok). We are about to board the plane for Bangkok. We'll check in soon.

Arrival in Hong Kong

We are in Hong Kong. Well.......atleast 9 of us. 4 of us got bumped in LA and put on a later flight about 1.5 hours. Don't weep for them too quick, they got first class on their flight. We should all meet back up in Hong Kong and be together on our flight from Hong Kong to Bangkok. Other exciting events included Sarah losing her boarding pass from gate screening to the gate (like 200 steps). And Ashley leaving her bag at the screening check point (causing some sprinting by the gate agent to recover the bag). Overall God has been gracious to us and worked out the challenges. Keep Praying for His Sovereign hand to guide us.

Reflections

(Cumulative Timmies = 52ish)

Hi!!

We're the Deffett twins! (Erica and Aaron - 17 years old as of today) Guess a number? ...JUST KIDDING!!

This is Erica, the oldest of the two, and is fortunate enough to be writing this blog for many of reasons. My mother's friend, Jariane, had told her about The Journey Church many years ago and as of a few months ago I have become an active member...and I just love it! Over the last few months I have been blessed to meet soo many wonderful Christ followers who have truly impacted my life. In July 2006, LHBC Youth's Missions Team had visited Toronto, Canada where they brought their love and passion for God for the others of the GTA to witness. Once they had left to go back home, did I realize how much they touched my life and I thank each one of them for that. A few months ago, I gave myself to Christ and it was due to my church's love for Christ and the relationships of those from the trip that lead me to this decision. I am soo thankful for the Journey Church because without them our paths would not have crossed. I am looking forward to this summer coming! :)

This is Aaron, the youngest of the two, but the biggest. I have had the great pleasure to have started my Journey with Christ this year, with the Journey Church. I started my journey before I knew I was on one. My mom kept bothering me to come to this, "church", and being a Catholic I was kind of sick of the whole "Church" rituals and routines, so I brushed her off for about a few months. Then last Mother's Day, I didn't get my mother a gift, and I said if I come with you today to church, will that be good enough, and obviously she said yes! So I went and just loved what I was learning, each week,I learned that being a believer was about relationships rather then rituals and I loved that and I was excited to go every Sunday, something that surprised me more then ever. Then June 26 I believe, there was a BBQ at Sam and Kelley's house, current members of the Journey Church. That night I met a kid named Tyler, from Georgia, who lead me to Christ on the front porch and my life has changed for the better ever since. A couple weeks after accepting Christ into my life, a group from LHBC came up and all of them taught me more about being a follower of Christ, quiet times, how to represent God to others and since then, with some ups and downs and a few challenges, I've learned to trust God more and more and my relationship with him has grown stronger. Along the way, I was proud to see my sister and mother grow and accept Christ into their hearts as well and my life is so much more joyful with the support of both my families, my church family and my immediate family.

Early this morning at around 9:00 a.m. we departed the Adam's house and headed up to Barrie for some snow tubing. We had a lot of laughs and grew even closer together. After a few runs, we all headed up to the chalet where we ate lunch. The morning was soo much fun that we were ready to hit the hills once again. While in line, some of us were able to spark a few conversations about the Journey Church and were able to hand out a few tracts.

It has been a wonderful experience and have grown in our relationship with Christ by being in fellowship with our brothers and sisters.

Day 5 - R.A.K.

Hello,

Today was the day for random acts of kindness. While that's what I'm going to talk about (pronounced "a boat" up here) at some point, it's hard not to recap the whole week thus far.

Some high points are:

Sunday - Leading worship for the journey church, meeting the people from Ghana, France, England, Ireland, Canada, etc. The food fellowship was most definitely Baptistic, wow, these ladies can cook. We met the twins and got to know them (new believers that God has planted in the journey church). "Do you want some gum?"

Monday - Our group rode the Go Train into downtown Toronto and worked with a local university. This was awesome.

Tuesday - Chris H. and I surveyed a local neighborhood for spiritual interest. Chris climbed the porch stairs on at least 30+ houses and rang the door bell even though it took a lot out of him physically. This was definitely my high for the day.

Which brings us to Wednesday.

Today we were entrusted with money and had to decide 1) in what use will the money be most impactful in touching individuals for Christ and 2) how can we maxmize the money we have been given to reach the most people in that way. We split into two groups. My group decided to minister to the needs of parents with children. We made gift bags to give to children along with water bottles and snacks for both children and parents. The overwhelming majority gladly accepted the gifts given in the name of God's love for them as a representation of the greatest gift they can ever have, that is Jesus Christ. People are very receptive to God's love, but Brampton is an area of over 420,000 people and 50% are immigrants. The journey church website had several new visitors in the hours after our ministry work.

This evening, the Langley family came over to the Adams' house and we were able to encourage them and love on their four sons, all under the age of 7 (one 4 mos.). Jeremy Langley is the only IMB college pastor in Ontario and has worked over the past several years trying to reach the Ontario university student population (over half a million students). God recently called his family to plant their lives in Southeast Asia. Talk about few laborers. Pray for his family as well as the students here.

May _your_ light shine among men that they may see _your_ good works and glorify _your_ Father in heaven.

-D. Windham

Day 4- More Surveys!!!!

(Timmy Count- 7)
Today started out a little more mellow compared to the rest of the week. We had a "Sanctuary House" from around 9:30am till around 10:15am; where we got to have our time alone with God and really pray diligently about the days we still have ahead of us. We ate an early lunch at The Mandarin, a great oriental restaurant in town (awesome Sushi!!!). Then after a group picture or 10 we headed back to the house. But it doesnt end there. After getting back to the house, We got together in our groups and got ready to go door to door in a nearby neighborhood. At first we were all really excited to go out and do it again, but after the 4th house telling us that they didnt have time we got a little discouraged. The Lord gave Clint and I a reassurance that he was with us when he led us to Sonny. Sonny was outside washing his car when we approached him and at first he thought we were sketchy, after finding that we were trying to share a little Jesus with him he lightened up and informed us that he was attending a baptist church in another part of town but that he would love more information and that he was 100% supportive of what we were doing. The team was able to make several great contacts with new people in the area with a variety of responses. We met back at the house at 4 ish and had a short break before eating an early dinner. We headed out of the Adam's house to make room for 8 women to meet together with the Kristie for a Women's Bible Study. We joined up with the Journey Youth for a fellowship of Laser tag (connected with several youth prospects also).

Day 3 - monday : : Toronto

(Timmie Count= 5)

Today we jumped on the GO Train to run around Toronto. We spread out on the GO train to look for opportnities to talk with people commuting to Toronto about the Lord. The highlight of our time downtown was a visit to Ryerson University to do some "Spiritual Interest" surveys. The University is right in the middle of downtown and has a student population over around 70,000. We offered $2 Tim Horton's gift certificates in exchange for the survey info. It was very interesting and inspiring to see the way the people responded to some of the questions. For example, one of the questions was, "Which area of your life are you most concerned with?" The multiple choices were: a)physical, b)emotional, c)spiritual, or d)intellectual. Most of the answers to this particular question were emotional and intellectual. Seeing how emotionally drained and wrecked the people were without having a relationship and dependency upon the Lord was heartbreaking. God was moving upon hearts today and bringing conviction, and it is really amazing to see Him reaching out to them and how much He loves them. Overall we got between 45-50 contacts with Ryerson students. 14 of them indicated openess to learning more about being a follower of Christ. About the same number indicated they would be interested in coming to a church plant or Bible Study geared for College students if it was offered.

Day 2 (Tim count 2 trips)

With this day being Sunday, we had the privilege of participating in worship with the Journey Church; this year, there were more there than usual in several different ways. First of all, there were about 35 people present at worship. Because we were anticipating more than usual for worship and lunch, we had to shift our place of worship from the Adams' house to the Brown's house. Second, the worship today was very multinational; some of the countries represented were France, Ghana, and the United Kingdom. Thirdly, with some of the different nationalities came different religions and cults including Ba'hai and Mormonism. However, even with this variety on many different levels, something occurred that rarely happens on any given Sunday in eastern Canada-- the preaching, teaching, and worshiping of Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, this church in Canada does not grow as fast as some churches in the U.S. However, it is still amazing to hear some of the stories of the people who are now involved and associated with the Journey Church; it is an absolute God thing how some of these people and families have made it here, where, last year, these people were not even on the radar. God is definitely testing our patience. We must continue to trust His guidance. Please continue to pray for us as we head out on Monday to get our hands and feet involved in serving Jesus. --Jonathon

saturday :: the journey to toronto

The day started off very very early (5am). Mark Cantrell took us to the airport and dropped us off. We got through to the terminal with no problems and saw Jessica Renfrow at the airport as she was heading to Hilton Head. We had a good flight to Dallas and ate lunch at TGI Fridays. After lunch it was time to get on our second plane which brought us to Canada. We mostly slept on the plane rides. We finally made it in to Toronto, Canada about 3p.m. While going through customs Britt realized that he left his passport on the plane. So he got interrogated by the Canadian custom officers. Also, Clay was so nervous that he wouldn't get in the country for some reason that he caught the attention of border patrol and they gave him an extra round of intimidating questions, but every thing turned out just fine. Then Britt finally got out of his interrogation and was able to join us. We got our vans (Clint is now ready to be the soccer dad that he has dreamed of driving a "pimped out" maroon [Go STATE!] Dodge Caravan)and drove to the Adam's house. Of course we had to stop by Tim Horton's before getting to the house. We all needed the caffeine!!! The Adam's family welcomed us with open arms and opened hearts. I was told the Adam's girls were little, but they are almost teenagers. We all got settled and then headed out to dinner. We ate dinner at Swiss Chalet and had great fellowship. After dinner we all went back to the house and crashed.
