Thai Summer Project Update 

As every year this project has been an instrument to support students growing their faith in Christ. We had 2 weeks training in Khonkaen and 2 weeks at Campus Outreach  Chaingmai Thailand our new franchise. We were able to help COCM investigate ministry there in Chiang Mai. It was great for COCM and students who joined our project as they learned to do ministry. Jelly one of my disciple has grown in her vision. She dreams to see new generation of laborers who continue to build labor on campus. Along with Daow , she is trusting God for her future as she just graduated. After TSP God  affirmed her more that he will take care of her. Right now Jelly and Daow trying to get a part time job to save money for English Camp. They commit to be a part of students ministry for last time before they transition to work in the real workforce. Please pray for  these two daughters of God  for their future.

Short update March 2014

Honey teaching Walk through the bible 

Thai Summer Project  there are about 30 students who invested their time to grow in Christian life. Fone one of my disciples from North Eastern University has joined the project. She is so glad that her family allowed her to join this camp. She enjoys  living  with other students. She loves to study all the subjects in the project. I am so happy for her since I have been able to disciple her for years this is the very first time that she gets to fellowship with family in Christ. I see Fone growing in her faith and knowledge from the scripture. Please give thanks to our God and continue to pray for her to grow in her identity in Christ and be fruitful from her relationship with Christ.

• English Camp God answered our prayers. I asked you to pray for English Camp recruitment that we would have 10 students from my ministry and 50 total. Praise God  there are 55 students who sign up and more than 10 in my own personal ministry that join this camp. Please take a few minutes to Praise God and keep praying for these people. Your Prayers have moved our God's Hands. Let's pray and trust God for their salvation. I am trusting God that he will lead 4 people that I have been working with to come to know Him. Please Praying for more men to join the camp too. In 55 students there are only 15 men. Please pray that more men will show interest in the camp.

• Please take a minute to pray for students in the Thai Summer project that they will see How great is our God. As they see who He is their life will be changed to be like Him by His power. Please pray for laborers.  Pray that  they will grow in the area of being a laborer on the campus. Pray that  God would give the burden for the lost to them especially since they are only 30 students with over 35000 students in KKU. Mathew 9:36 36-38 The harvest is plentiful, but laborers are FEW! Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out his laborers into his harvest.

• I am praying for you in Colossians  1 : 9-14,I have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding  so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God. May you be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy, giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

It been 2 months from y last update. A lot has happened. We had a very good time  during  Christmas. We were able to share the good news with at least 15 students. Please be praying for me to find opportunities to follow up with them.

I have been studying a book called  knowing God with Som  who  is a science major.She is in the middle of picture with Snowman. It's been great to get to know her and share my life with her. She is very sweet friend. Her barrier to becoming a  Christian is  the fear of conflict that might with her family. Please be praying that our God would break that lie.

We had our Christian women's trip a few week ago. It was a blessing for everyone to spend  time together  building each other  up in Christ.

What News ?
 

Since the second semester  started,  we have been  inviting all students to join English Camp  in June and July 2014. It is a evangelical camp  that we will use this year due to the school calendar change. All of the staff are working hard to prepare this new event to reach students. I have been inviting all first and second year students who I have met since the first semester. It is very challenging to ask students to commit to us. I'm trusting God and praying that He will lead  10 students from my ministry of the 60-70 students I minister to.  Please be  praying for  a total of 50 students to join our camp . This is going to be a great camp of life on life ministry and sharing the gospel! I am very excited!

Newsletter December 2013

Last weekend, we had an Evangelical retreat! There were about 15 non-Christian  students who joined us at the Fin Retreat (It is finished Retreat) . We shared the gospel  with them by using  the last  7 words on the cross  that Jesus said," It is finished" . What Jesus has done on the cross for human sinners, including myself,  is finished  on the cross.  This good news  reminds me again that I am A needy sinner. I am so thankful for this good news!

Personal update 

In the last newsletter, I mentioned to you about how tried and emotional I was during the past month. Right now  I feel better after having good time with God and rest from being sick. One thing that I have learned from God is in Philippians 3:7-9:

  "But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ  and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith."

I have a great time meditate on this truth. I have more freedom in living everyday to know God more to live with Him is worth more than anything.  Please for me that I will have a great time with Him everyday. 

Praise!

As I am writing this newsletter, I just received news that one of the students who has been studying the Bible with Liew (a Christian student from our ministry) just professed his faith in Christ ! Praise God!

Support Update 

Over the past 6 months and more, I have experienced some loss in my support.  I am currently $750 short in monthly commitments from being at 100%. Unfortunately, during my time in America, I did not gain many new monthly supporters as I expected, but I know God will provide! So I am asking you for your help!

What can you do?

Please consider helping me in any of the following areas:

1. PRAY: Please pray right now that God would bring in the remaining support by the end of the year!
2. JOIN MY SUPPORT TEAM: Contribute financially every month for any amount - $10, $60, or $300 - Every dollar counts. I am currently in need of $750 in new monthly support. Give now by clicking here.
3. SPECIAL GIFT:  Contribute to my current need of $2500 in one-time in order to bring my support account back up to a healthy place.

Dear  my friend ,
I hope you are doing well. I am doing well physically. I have been having a great time training for a full marathon. It is scheduled for January 2014. Spiritually, I have been feeling tired and have been very emotional. I don't really know what’s happening. One thing I have been thinking, which a fellow staff friend mentioned, is that God is stretching me and growing me in some area of my life.  I do believe that he is growing and teaching me something but I just do not know what it is right now. Please be praying for me that I will get closer to God and hear what truth he has been teaching and telling me. I know he can and believe he will renew me as it says in Isaiah 40: 28-31

 

  

 

Ministry has been going good in building relationship with students. I had a chance to share my testimony with biology students on my birthday before the final exam last month. After exams there was a week and then school started up again just this week. One highlight of the past 2 months is the wedding of Tdong and Am who both graduated from Northeastern University where we worked for 6 years. Seeing them come to know Christ, be discipled, love on each other and now having their own Thai Godly family is so wonderful. Praise God who has done this in their lives. It has been a privilege and a blessing for us to be a part of this. I am excited to see this couple bless other Thai people and multiply their life.

In addition to this couple, the picture below of the ladies in all red dress are the girls from NEU who continue to grow in their Christian life. Some of them may look familiar to you as I have mentioned them in my newsletter and maybe you have prayed for them. Starting from the left is Kage who is now working as a teacher in Christian school in Khonkaen. Kana to her left just the Campus Outreach Thailand expansion team to Chiang Mai. Nong is working as a teacher in Christian school Ice is working as tutor in Kumon company at KKU and involved with campus ministry.

I am so thankful for these girls. Praise our God who worked in their life. I pray that God would continue to grow and multiply their life for His Kingdom. I am so thankful for you too, for being part of our team, both financial support and prayer in order to multiply His kingdom in Thailand. It is such a  privilege that God  allow us to be a part of His Kingdom.

My Prayer request

1) My time with God, I will have an intimacy with Him and He will restore my soul, I will hear His voice as I read , study His word and my life will soak with His love and flow to people who I disciple and share gospel with them.

2 ) We are going to have Evangelistic retreat next month with CCP Australia, please pray for students who we invite that many of them will join us and lead them to salvation.

3) My financial support onetime $ 2500 and monthly $750, I am trusting that God would lead 15 families $50. If you are interest to join financial team or need more information please feel free to contact me through this email  (snow@campusoutreach.org)or facebook.

May God Bless you

Newsletter September 2013 Hope in God

My Beloved friends and supporter , special person in my heart in the state always love and thankful for you all. 

Our trip to the USA in July was great. Overall, I had a great time at the conference. Some things were difficult for me like jet lag and talking lots of English with so many people. I enjoyed many things in America and I was able to experience many things that I could only think about before. 

Since I have returned from the USA, I, along with Christians students, have been spending time with some first year students. I had an opportunity to share the gospel 2 times in an amazing way. Thai people rarely initiate spiritual questions. These 2 girls initiated to me and asked me about God .They asked what I believe and one of them seems really interested about Him and wanted to know more .After sharing gospel with these girls, I prayed that there will be more students coming and asking, I would like to see God do far more than I can think. 

Jelly Birthday Party with biology  students who always come bake with us. 

The night market with Jan , Dow , Jojo , Miw and Fone. 

Equipping and establishing students has been challenging. Each of them are in a spiritual battle for that has been tough and intense everyone. The students started with much excitement to do ministry with CCPs. They met lots of students and tried their best to shine the light of Christ to others. I was and am so encouraged by them. They have been busy the last few weeks with life, studying and home work. It seems their excitement for God and ministry is far away. This season of life and also in my life, has been a season of fighting the good fight and to keep going in ministry even when life is hard. It has been challenging for me to help these girls walk with the truth, have hope and trust God in the middle of this battle. I know that God's grace is abundant. Please be praying for us that we will abide in him everyday and we will grow in knowing Him, we will see God working in and through us far more than we can think of as Paul pray for Ephesians in Chapter 1verses 14-21.

Holly and Baby Raenan one of my Highlight  in NC just realized it is the same shirt with picture before. 

Even with all of this reality, I am doing good and I am so excited to see God do something more than I can think. At the same time, sometimes, I feel hopeless and asking when is the next victory going to happen , I don’t know. God reminds me in His word 1Corinthians 13:9-13 “For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come , then that which is in part will be done away…For now we see in the mirror, dimly but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. And now abide faith, hope , love , these three; but the greatest of this is love.” Hope faith and love , We have it all through God’s word he promises to us. I pray that my heart will keep these three things and to remember that on the cross and in His resurrection, Jesus gives all three for us in order to live and wait for the perfection come.

May Glory be to Our God.

News letter July 2013

Dear My Friends ,

I hope you are doing well. Thank you for praying along with us as we minister at KKU among the Science students. I would like to share what God has been doing in our ministry the past month whic is not on jssano.blogspot.com. We have met and built relationships with first year science students, at least 150 students. Please pray that God would lead us in building deeper relationships with them. Jelly (girl from last newsletter) had an opportunity to share the gospel with one girl, named Poy, who studies physics. Poy is not interested in knowing God or studying about him. Please keep Poy in your prayers.

Jan and Cat First time study Bible 

I have been very busy in the process of transition to KKU. I am learning to adjust myself and to ask God to help me settle down. What God is teaching me now is, “Be still and know I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in the earth.” (Psalm 46:10)  

I am going to the United States this Friday. IT IS SUCH A PRIVILEGE that God gives me this. It is one of my dreams to visit my best friend in the States. Also, Campus Outreach has a global staff conference between July 14-21, 2013 in Florida. Our goals are to refocus, refuel and reconnect with other CO franchises. After the conference, Honey and I are going to visit Summer beach project in Panama City Beach for a few days then we will go to Georgia and North Carolina for about 2 weeks. We will speak with 4 churches about ministry in Thailand. We are going to share our financial need in order to do ministry in Thailand. We hope that churches will partner with us in reaching the Thai people and become a blessing to us and the country of Thailand. Please be praying for us during our time in the States that we will enjoy our time with our friend and that we will be able to refocus, refuel and reconnect in the conference. Also please pray for our sharing with churches, that God will be glorified, that we will communicate clearly His heart for the nations and for the lost and that we will have a heart like Him.

Thai summer Project  3-G 

It’s been 3 months since the end of January when I sent my last newsletter. I have been doing very well. Many things have happened in my life which I would love to share with you.

February:

Our Campus Outreach resource team helped our staff through personal assessment. My personal test showed me to be Extraverted  Sensing  Feeling and Judging which is the profile for a care-giver. This assessment showed us that God has designed me as an extremely gifted initiator, very relational and emphatic. This assessment encourages and affirms me in His calling on my life right now to serve in a Campus staff role.

Serving at Mercy House in Khonkaen 

March:  Thai Summer Project: This year our theme was 3-G: God Centered, Gospel Centered and Great Commission to  the third generation. It was a great project. I really enjoyed teaching our Bible Study Training Class. 

                                     

Khonkaen Worship Concert 

April:

Over our Summer break I went with my youngest brother to see our brothers who work at a factory near the beach. It was fun to see my older brother's family and spend good time with them. I am so thankful.

Exciting News

Campus Outreach Thailand is launching a team to Chaing Mai province led by Gary Alward. They will move their belongings from Khon Kaen this month. There are three families and three single staff who will be going to Chiang Mai.

Rung, one of our administrative staff, is getting married May 25^th. I am so happy for her, she is moving with the CO-Chiang Mai team, her fiancé Bomb lives and works there. Honey is going to work for us in Khon Kaen with our administrative team.                                                                                                                                                                   

After our staff assessment in February and much prayer and evaluation on where I can best serve according to my gifts and design, it is so clear to me that God is leading me to return to Khon Kaen University(KKU). This is where I was born again and grew up in Christ. I long to  see how God is going to use me as his tool for His Kingdom at KKU .

This is the news that I wanted to share with you. At the end of this month I will send you prayer requests to pray along with me!

Thank you for your support!

Love in Christ
