God’s Call to the Nations
The Beautiful Feet
“And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” - Romans 10:15
Home Sweet Home
Being married for almost 4 months is as much exciting as going to a new mission field. Building our new family keeps us more in love with our Master and to one another. Nearly two months past when we transfer to our new little rented house. Blessed to call it a home. We planted different kinds of vegetables around it and keeping every single moment we have to bless our new neighbors. “Home Sweet Home”.

School Administrators’ ASEAN Conference
The Hosanna Language and Music School under the Compassionate Hope Foundation—Thailand was invited to conduct a seminar about the awareness to ASEAN 2015 with the Phayao Area 2 Elementary Schools’ Directors on March 30 to 31, 2013 Black Saturday and Easter Sunday. The team was given a day (March 31st) to execute all the sessions and activities which were divided into three parts. The first and second sessions were held in the morning and the last session which is all about the ASEAN 2015 in the afternoon. All the one hundred and forty school principals were grateful and challenged at the same time about the upcoming ASEAN Economic Community in the year 2015. Some of them come personally to talk to the CHF-Thailand Director on how we (the CHF-Thailand) could be a help to their schools.
This experience is a challenge and inspiration to us to continue serving the Lord through the people and community in the northern part of Thailand.
One Year Visa Granted
Tuesday, 26th of March 2013 our one year visa (the Filipinas) arrived from Bangkok to Chiangrai Immigration Office with its official approval from the country’s department of for-eign affairs. We had our passports stamped from March 26, 2013 to February 24, 2014. The Lord has been so faithful in all our transactions for the documents and its processing since we started applying in the 4th quarter of 2012. We’ve built relationship with the people we were working with especially with the chief immigration officer in Chiangrai.

miracle
My wound from the surgery (hemmorroidectomy) was painful last Thursday as well as my stomach while I am teaching. My students saw my face expressing the pain... suddenly a student said... "Excuse me teacher, can I pray for you?" I said, "Yes". Then she came and laid her hands on me (the whole class also prayed)... after their prayer I felt the healing! there's no pain at all! Glory to GOD!!! :) Today my bowel movement is beginning to normalize and I don't experience bleeding anymore...God is truly amazing HE healed me indeed!!! Have faith like these little children!!! ♥ ♥ ♥

A New year Prayer by Rifkah
I am re-posting this to my blog 'cause I want you to be bless just as I am blessed!!! enjoy reading! Happy New Year!
A HEBREW SAGE MIGHT SAY. . .
Peace is not the absence of pain. Peace is not the absence of pressure. Peace is confidence that the ALMIGHTY CREATOR knows what HE is doing and allowing HIM to reign and guide your life.
Sha'alu (Pray) for the Shalom (Peace) of Jerusalem and all of Israel!
We cover you continually in our prayers and carry you in our hearts as we enter another year. Our prayer: "FATHER, we ask YOU to bless our friends and family as we enter another year of service to YOU, the CHAMPION DEFENDER of our faith. We humbly ask YOU to minister to their spirit. Where there is pain, give them YOUR peace and mercy. Where there is self-doubting, release a renewed confidence in YOUR ability to work through them. Those who are tired and exhausted, we ask YOU to give them understanding, patience and strength as they learn submission to YOUR leading. Where there is spiritual stagnation, we ask YOU, LORD GOD to reveal YOUR nearness, drawing them into a greater intimacy with YOU. Where there is fear, reveal YOUR love and release to them YOUR boldness and courage. Where there is a sin blocking that intimate relationship with YOU, reveal it and break its hold over our loved one's life. Bless their finances, give them greater vision and raise up leaders and more friends to support and encourage them. Give each of our cherished ones discernment to recognize the evil forces around them and reveal to them the mighty power they have in YOU to defeat the foes. This we ask of YOU in the precious name of JESUS, the MESSIAH & KING." "Now to HIM WHO is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the PRESENCE OF HIS GLORY with exceeding joy, to GOD our SAVIOR WHO alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever, Amen!" [Jude 25] May the LORD YESHUA dwell in your heart and keep you rooted and grounded in love and fill you with all the glorious blessings from GOD MOST HIGH.

A NEW YEAR PRAYER
O LORD, open my lips, and my mouth shall declare YOUR praises. YOU are blessed, O LORD our GOD and GOD of our fathers, GOD of Abraham, GOD of Isaac, and GOD of Jacob, the great, mighty and revered GOD, the MOST HIGH GOD, WHO bestows loving-kindness, and possesses all things, who remembers the pious deeds of the patriarchs, and in love will bring the REDEEMER to their children’s children for YOUR REVERED NAME’Ssake.
Remember us unto life, O KING, WHO delights in life, and inscribe us in the BOOK OFLIFE, for YOUR OWN sake, O LIVING GOD. O KING, HELPER, SAVIOR & SHIELD. Blessed are YOU, O LORD, the SHIELD of Abraham. YOU, O LORD, are mighty forever; YOUquicken the dead, YOU are mighty to save.
LORD, YOU sustain the living with lovingkindness, quicken the dead with great mercy, support the falling, heal the sick, loose the bound, and keep YOUR faithfulness to them that sleep in the dust. Who is like YOU, LORD of mighty acts, and who resembles YOU, O KING, WHO kills and quickens, and causes salvation to spring forth?
Who is like YOU, FATHER OF MERCY, WHO in mercy remembers YOUR creatures unto life? Yes! faithful are YOU to quicken the dead. Blessed are YOU, O LORD, WHO quickens the dead. YOU are holy and YOUR NAME is "HOLY" and holy beings praise YOU daily. —Selah
Now, therefore, O LORD GOD, CAPTAIN OF THE HOST OF THE LORD, impose YOUR awe upon all YOUR works, and YOUR dread upon all that YOU have created, that all works may fear YOU and all creatures prostrate themselves before YOU that they may all form a single band to do YOUR will with a perfect heart, even as we know, O LORD our GOD, that dominion is YOURS, strength is in YOUR hand, and might in YOUR right hand, and that YOUR NAME is to be feared above all that YOU have created.
Give then glory, O LORD, unto YOUR people, praise to them that fear YOU, hope to them that seek YOU, and free speech to them that wait for YOU, joy to YOUR land, gladness to YOUR City, a flourishing horn to David YOUR servant, and a clear shining light to the SONof Jesse, YOUR ANOINTED, speedily and in our days.
Then shall the just also see and be glad, and the upright shall exult, and the pious triumphantly rejoice, while iniquity shall close her mouth, and all wickedness shall be wholly consumed like smoke, when YOU, my EVERLASTING PRAISE, make the dominion of arrogance to pass away from the earth.
And YOU, O LORD, shall reign, YOU alone over all YOUR works on Mount Zion, the dwelling place of YOUR wondrous splendor, and in Jerusalem, YOUR Holy City, as it is written in YOUR HOLY WORDS, "The LORD shall reign forever, your GOD, O Zion, unto all generations. HalleluYAH." [Psalms (Tehillym) 146. 10 Tanakh, Kethuvim]
LORD GOD, YOU are holy, and dreaded is YOUR NAME, and there is no god beside YOU, as it is written— "And the LORD OF HOSTS is exalted by judgment, the HOLY GOD OFCREATION is sanctified in righteousness, proved holy by justice." [Isaiah (Yeshayah) 5. 16 Tanakh, Nevi'im] Blessed are YOU, O LORD, the GLORIOUS HOLY KING.
YOU have chosen us from all peoples, YOU have loved us and taken pleasure in us, and have exalted us above all tongues; YOU have sanctified us by YOUR commandments, and brought us near unto YOUR services, O our KING, and have called us by YOUR GREAT &HALLOWED NAME. Blessed be the MAGNIFICENT NAME OF OUR LORD. Amen

The Update
Ministry Report May to July 2011
May 14, 2011 12:40 a.m. when the airplane takes off from the ground of Thailand airport I burst into tears realizing that I am leaving the place which I called a land of promise – The Land of Smiles.
Ever since I left that nation I still hold on to the hope of going back there. The ministry that God has entrusted me there was so remarkable. It is written in the history of Thailand, Philippines, mankind and most of all in the heaven.
There were no regrets leaving that nation because when my plane landed in the Pearl of the Orient Seas – Philippines the Lord of the universe has ordained things to be accomplish at my presence. After two weeks of being with my family in Liliw, Laguna God directed me to the ministry of IFL or Institute for Foundational Learning Inc. in Cabuyao, Laguna which is two hours away from my hometown.
This ministry is under the leadership of Rev. Patricia Capwell who is my spiritual mother. IFL is faithfully supporting me and partnering with me in the mission field. This time the Lord instructed me to work in the school as full time volunteer teacher.
I am now handling Grade 1 teaching all 4 major subjects and 2 minors (Math, English, Filipino, Social Studies, Science and Values Education). The Grade 1 class is composed of 19 pupils with different back ground. In my 11th years of teaching this class is so far the most special. The students have different back ground, different stories, and different hurts. Some of them are orphans, from a broken family, street children, bothered and abandoned kids.
Here is our class picture taken during my birthday - July 7. Everyday these kids raise my temper but increase my love and understanding and bring me to the mother instinct that a woman and a teacher have. Their Pre-school teacher told me that this class is commendably special. I never start my class without worshiping God every morning with these children. If you will personally hear their stories you will cry and you’ll see yourself extremely favored.
I am currently finishing my Units in Bachelor of Secondary Education. This is my second degree. I graduated in Bachelor of Arts major in English in 1998 and took the first 12 units of Education in 2001 to pursue my career as a teacher but during that time I choose to quit my studies because I need to support my family. So now after 10 years I came back to school and during my 11th years of teaching I am now a teacher and a student again. After my studies this semester I will be preparing myself to take the Licensure for Teacher‘s Examination.
God is filling my heart with extra ordinary joy. Being here in the Philippines in this season is indeed a great call from Him. All I thought was this year will be a Sabbath year for me that’s why I am coming back home but then God has showed me that this year is a great year of harvest for HIM.
Please do include me in your prayers. Here are some of my prayer requests:
1. 1. I am a volunteer teacher in this foundation and receiving nothing for my living but IFL paid for my tuition fee in the University pray that God would continue to supply all my needs and my family’s needs.
2. 2. I am making more adjustments now in my studies. Last week I got sick due to so much work but praise God I am now healed. Please pray for God’s continues protection and strength as well as wisdom and knowledge for my studies.
3. 3. Pray for my grandmother and my aunt who are both sick.
4. 4. I desire to attend the International Prayer Gathering or Empower 21 in Indonesia on October 2011, let’s pray for God’s mighty provision.
5. 5. And lastly please pray with me for all my students in Grade 1 and for Tina my special student.
Thank you so much for your continues support and for partnering with me in this ministry, indeed your prayers are the backbones of God’s works. I am always thanking God for you.
May our dear Lord continue to shower you with great favor and bless you all with more wisdom and strength as you serve HIM. Please give me feedback regarding this update so that I may know and be encouraged that every time I send out my updates in the ministry there are people who can read and touched or blessed by what God is doing. Thank you so much again and may God bless you all.
I Love You.

Pray for Us :)
Dear Brethren,
Tonight I am seated at Suvarnabhumi Airport waiting for the JREV Outreach Team from the Philippines. Exactly nineteen days from now I will be seated here again waiting for my boarding time going back to the Philippines. This makes me feel so excited to be home in less than a month. It thrills me to see myself waiting for my departure.
While I am waiting for my time to go home I am going to spend the rest of my days here in Thailand doing the mission works with the team. Tomorrow we are going up to Chiang Kham Payao at 7:00 a.m. for two weeks to teach English in the Thung Khruay Village (Banana Field Village – a Mhong Hill Tribe near the border of Laos). And then on May 7 we will be back here in Bangkok to help in the Streams of Blessings Church.
My last 19 days in Thailand will be very fruitful, full of fun, memories and works for the kingdom of God. After this I will be home for my Sabbatical year in doing missions to Thailand. It is very hard for me to leave this country after seven years of mission works (4 years short term missions and 3 years long term mission).
I believe that God will bring me back again to Thailand after my Sabbatical year. With this I would like to ask for your prayers for me and the JREV Outreach Team from the Philippines (4 Pilipinos) and Changmai (20 Thais) as we do the 3 weeks outreach here in Thailand. Pray for God’s wisdom, protection, strength physically and spiritually and also financial provisions.
Also I would like to ask for your prayer for me personally. This is my first time to lead a big team (24 people) from two different culture and nation but one in Christ also pray for me in the area of my finances while I am leading the team in this outreach and God’s mighty provision as I go back to the Philippines. I have been staying in Nontaburi for three weeks since I left Ubonratchatani and last week I went up to Payao to visit the place where we are going to do the outreach. My finances have been very tight as I am not getting any means this time. It is by God’s faithfulness that I am moving right now!
Here is the schedules of our team please keep us in prayers and if possible please send me a reply so I may know who are interceding for us… God bless you all! I love you with the love of the Lord!
