Soul Winning Missionary

Saint and Chow after the service
This past weekend we had Missionary Saint Jomhong with us from the Longview Baptist Temple. Bro. Saint is a Missionary to the Kingdom of Thailand. He did an excellent job while he spent the weekend with us. He went soul winning all day Saturday and preached and presented his work on Sunday evening. In fact there is an interesting story I will tell you about involving Saint...

Chow getting baptized!
Saint met a Vietnamese man named Chow while he was out soul winning on Saturday. He was unable to led the man to the Lord because the man told him he was a Buddhist. However, the man told Saint he would come to church on Sunday. Interestingly enough, Chow had been witnessed to by my son and Bro. Zawlatt about a month earlier. They too could not lead him to Christ because he said he was Buddhist. Then Sunday morning came and the regular bus route went by to pick up Chow, but he was not home. However, I was running my Karen route and saw a man walking down the street in  a different area from where Chow lives. (I did not know Chow, yet.) My wife was at a door getting some people and I yelled over to the man and asked him to come to church. He was hesitant, but then decided to come. Once at the church we discovered this was the man Saint had invited.

After Sunday school Saint decided to speak to Chow about his salvation. Saint presented the Gospel to Chow and he then made a decision to trust Christ as his personal Saviour! Praise God! We then conducted the morning service and at the invitation time Chow came forward and decided to follow the Lord in believer's baptism. Thank God for the work of many soul winners to get this Buddhist man saved. This would be our first Buddhist that has gotten baptized at our church. Praise God!

This week was the first week of our campaign called "Christ is Our Mission." The theme has a missions emphasis being placed on it. Total we had 64 souls saved for the week with two following the Lord in believer's baptism. One of our men Bro. Looper has been taking Spanish classes and was able on Saturday to led his first soul to Christ completely in the Spanish language. Praise God for a great start to our campaign.
