House of Union News Letter June 2017

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. We thank God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ. We at House of Union thank you so much for continuing to support us and to pray for us. The House of Union children are growing in grace. Everybody advanced to a new class. They are doing so well at HOU and school. This year we have 11 new children come to HOU. In

Greetings to the Church of God Joy Christian Fellowship and to the amazing HOU supporters!

total, we have 35 kids. Most of the new children come from non-Christian families. We praise God that we can share the gospel with them, their families, and villagers. Last week, 10 older children accepted Jesus as their Savior. Please, keep praying for us

Here is an update about children who left HOU last year and before. Some are doing well. God continues to bless and take care of them. They keep doing their school and some are attending university. We still fallow up on our older children, to encourage and help them as the Lord leads.

We are and will see more fruit for Jesus in the lives of the HOU children.

As we love HOU children, we do the best work for them, use your support money wisely, Honestly and maximum benefit to the children as the Lord called us to work with House Of Union children until Jesus return. Amen

Pastor Jalae and his wife, Rija, moved to do another job. Now we have Moses, my sister, La, and Dan, a missionary, helping

us as part time workers in House of Union. They do

pastoral, advisor, and teach about the gospel and singing

praises to Jesus.

We are proud of Aphisit, one of our oldest boys. After he graduated

high school, he continued to study mechanic and helps us look after the small children. He is a very

good boy.

What we are going to doin year 2017.• Agriculture project in HOU.• Gospel project.• English communication for

kids.• Biblical counseling.• Learn how to swim.• Kids leadership project.• Entertainment project.• Pastoral project.

These are our older HOU kids. Suwat graduated from high school

and continues in university. Nanthida and Awrapan are going to Bible school. Please pray for them. We want to see them finish school and come back to help their village

people.

For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teaches, on teaching; Or he that exhorts, on exhortation: he that gives, let him do it with simplicity; he that rules, with diligence; he that shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

1. What we do for the children:

• Pastoral and Gospel Projects.

- Consultation for children’s future plans. - Encourage and read the Bible with children. - Memorize the Bible verses - Pray with the children and fix any problems.

- Play with the children. - Visit the children’s village and share the gospel.

• Biblical Counseling.- The Thai government commands us to have a counselor psychologist visit in every children

home. Praise God that this year we have Daniel, a missionary, who graduated as a biblical counselor helping us.

• English Communication for Children.- My wife, Nina, and I are teaching English. I am teaching about communication with the older

children and Nina is teaching the younger children. • Learn to Swim.

- The Thai government wants us to teach the children how to swim, because every year many Thai children drown.

• Children Leadership Project.- We teach the children so that the older children look after the younger ones, how to serve

others, how to lead the worship, how to share a testimony, how to pray, how to sing and to tell a story.

• Entertainment Project.- We give the children one hour and half to use hand phone after they finish homework or work.

We show a movie on Friday and Saturday night. • Agriculture Project in HOU.

- In this year, we restart a new method for doing agriculture. We try to raise fish and chicken in different ways. We also rebuilt our vegetable garden to grow vegetable in a better way.
