Since a couple of months we’re working in the Baan Faang district . This district has a few Christians, but the majority of the more then 50,000 people are still bound by Buddhism and Animism. God has opened a wonderful door in a small village in the South West of the district. In this village there are 3 women who are Christian. We go and teach them every week! There knowledge of the Bible is very limited, but they’re very open and eager to study the Word. In the sub district where this village is located are 8 other villages. This morning I went together with another Isaan Christian to find out whether there were believers in these other 8 villages. Sadly enough we couldn’t find anybody. We asked one lady: ‘Do you know anybody who beliefs in ‘Phra Yesu’ in this village? Are there any Christians?’. She looked a bit puzzled and answerd most helpful: ‘ I don’t know anybody who’s named Yesu in this village, but I know one lady who’s called Su. Are you looking for her?’ We explained again what we came for, but her answer was pretty straight forward: ‘ I’ve no clue who Phra Yesu is and I don’t know what Christians are either’. It just struck me… Many people clearly didn’t really understand our question and in the end we found no Christians at all. We gave all the people we talked with a little booklet with some explanation. After today it’s clear that this sub district is in need of some evangelistic outreach. At the one hand it’s discouraging not to find any Christian…at the other hand it’s also encouraging to know that we can be the first people who will probably share with them about the hope we have in and through the Lord Jesus.
