Holy Spirit in Thailand

„And it shall be in the last days", says God, "that I will pour out my Spirit upon all mankind." (Acts 2:17)
All over the world we are seeing with our eyes what the Apostle Peter prophecied for the days we are living in: Throughout the continents, God's Spirit is moving and working in a greater dimension than ever before, and he is flooding the spiritual drought with his living water. It's happening in the German-speaking countries - Germany, Austria and Switzerland - however, our hearts are deeply moved when we are seeing these things happening in nations where living fatih is far from known and certainly not rooted in the past and in tradition.
Fire Seminar
For many years we have been travelling Thailand. We have hosted quite a number of conferences and have ministered to the poor and needy in the country. We have helped wherever we could. Amongst others we have established a center for drug addicts in Bangkok which has been given into very competent Thai hands a couple of years ago. Only two years ago, a small team set out from Lüdenscheid to Pattaya in order to live in that city longterm and to minister to the people there. This team organized and hosted the Fire for the City conference in a hotel in Pattaya and were supported by local churces.
In the mornings, leaders from the region gathered to sit under the word of God and to experience the Holy Spirit. Every night the house was packed with spiritually hungry people. So many experienced the power of God for the very first time!
Jesus in the Prison
After a short stop at UCC (a befriended church in Bangkok), we flew out to South Thailand. The gatherings took place in a small neat church. At the leaders day, more than 60 leaders gathered - some drove several hundred kilometers just to be there. A highlight was the prison outreach. There, 80 young inmates (all men) payed the sinner's prayer and immediately after they gave testimony of what they experienced with Jesus. We have heard of such moves of God everywhere in the country and were strongly reminded of the word from Acts 2:17.

Thank you for sharing so lovingly in advancing the kingdom of God. And thank you very, very much for the encouraging to our previous newsletter. That's why we are sending these news - they serve as an encouragement of what God is doing in our lives thanks to your prayers and support.
Have a blessed summer season and be filled with the fellowship of the Holy Spirit!
