Sattha Team 2008Some of you might be interested to know that during our journey we covered six (6) provinces (similar to states in the US) over the course of three weeks. We saw fifteen (15) villages. We played over Twenty (20) games, some more competitive than others but all worthwhile. And as for a fairly conservative estimate, we saw--that is we made real contact with-- just over three thousand (3000) men, women and children; and most (if not all) of these we were able to receive literature, hear song or testimony, see a skit, or in some way have some form of gospel contact. I do not think it fantasy to say that in faith we can trust that the gospel touched 4-5000, just based on word of mouth, passing on of materials, explanations of what happened that day at school and more. The point of course isn't to say, " wow look at the numbers or how many people we were able to reach." The point is to both praise God and to continue to pray along the lines of such passages as Col 4:2-6 and 2Thess 3:1, namely that words would be given, with boldness, and that every opportunity would be seized that we might see the gospel go fourth rapidly and effectively. We pray this and remember that one of Sattha's purposes and goals is to see that Christ honoring, wide-spread evangelism is happening in Central Thailand. More than that we hope to see the masses have opportunity after opportunity to hear the truth of the Lord Jesus that many would repent and know Him as Lord and Savior... and this doesn't happen without first those who will go and speak the word, the Good News for those who do not know.
