The Prayer Experience
Mission Study
1991 in Thailand (3)

19.05.1991
We took our breakfast in YWCA restaurant. I thought the breakfast was provided as we were the hotel guest. Francis telephoned Pastor Visanukorn and knew that we had to pay for the breakfast.

A few missionaries came to YWCA and drove use to the different churches. Pastor Tuomo came and brought Seow Hong and me to Grace Lutheran Church. Pastor Tuomo was from Huay Khwang Church. He went to Grace Lutheran Church to help Pastor Pekka as there would be a baptism.

10:00 - 10:30
A short term evangelist Ms Pornthip Saepuang conducted the Bible teaching class. She was very effective and very well-organised.

10:40 - 12:30
One man and two girls were baptised during the Sunday Worship Service. The elder girl, who was working in a hotel, is related to the King's family. Her father was present at the Service.

14:00 - 17:00
We had the prayer meeting after lunch. Pastor Tuomo left and Pastor Tapio with his wife joined us.

We had the healing prayer for two persons.
Wanee who experienced 78 persons being killed in the village 14 year ago, included her family.
Moo who was depressed by Manorah, spirit worshiped by her family. When the children even not yet born, were offered to the Manorah (bird) and they would worship and dance for three days and three nights.

John 8 : 36
If the Son sets you free, then you will be really free.

The Prayer Experience
Before praying for Moo, Pastor Tapio requested us to pray for the vision first. Then members saw the visions and shared in the meeting.
Someone saw a Big Bird.
A member saw a pair of big hands covering me.
Another person said that God advised not to go to the left, it was dangerous.
Two persons, including Moo, felt very warm.
I felt that we were praying on the top of a hill.

After sharing the visions, Pastor Tapio said that I would pray for Moo. The rest of the group would pray for me to ask for God' protection over me.
That was a great and different experience I had for prayer meeting.

After the prayer meeting, we met up with Pastor Chamraeng's wife and daughter who stayed in Grace Lutheran. Pastor Chamraeng who served in Grace Lutheran Church was at the moment in Singapore Thai Good News Centre (TGNC). He went to Singapore in January 1991. He took up a six-month English course. At the same time, he served God in TGNC.

In the evening, we were all back to YWCA. Pastor Visanukorn and Pastor Banjob came to YWCA and brought us to take dinner and durian. We also visited the night market.

At night, we had a devotion led by Brother Joseph.
John 17 : 18   I sent them into the world, just as you sent me into the world.
Isaiah 61   The Year of the Lord's Favour
to serve the Thai
Mark 16 : 15   He said to them, "Go throughout the whole world and preach the Gospel to all mankind."
John 14 : 12   I am telling you the truth: whoever believes in me will do what I do — yes, he will do even greater things, because I am going to the Father.

The prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well;
the Lord will raise him up.

                        James 5 : 15
