A Missionary's Birthday

Day 21 of 27

But we do not belong to those who shrink back and are destroyed, but to those who have faith and are saved. 

Hebrews 10:39

Happy Birthday, Ate Rhesa! 

Team Phahonyothin 

Pizza birthday! 

Today marks a special Friday as we celebrated Rhesa's birthday. Rhesa is my dearest missionary friend and sister in Christ whom I met at BTC-CGST. It was her consistent and persistent invitation that led me to decide to come to Thailand this month. 

What a joy to celebrate her birthday today with a very simple yet full celebration. We started the day with her blowing candles from a tiny square cake I grabbed from 7-11 last night. After that, we had a prayer meeting at the English center. Together with the team, we had pizza for lunch. Then we went home and got ready for Rhesa's birthday wish: a pictorial session for free at a flower gallery at a nearby mall. 

Rhesa has been in Thailand for almost 7 years now. Her big heart for these Thai unbelievers has grown through the years. She can speak and read Thai. She lives alone but is surrounded with wonderful Thai people and a loving Filipino community. She has also nurtured her baking skills while serving here. She is able to build more friendships with her learners as she bakes and shares her sweet delights to them. 

I lived and stayed with her for the last 21 days and everyday has been a beautiful learning experience. Rhesa serves a sovereign master. Her strength is in God alone. 

Pray for Rhesa and her team.

Pray for faithfulness and consistency among all her partners and supporters.

Pray that they will receive 40-60 English learners next month. 

Amen.

Rhesa with Ate Su

Utterly Grateful

Day 14 of 27 I am utterly grateful and I can keep thanking all my Mission-T blessers everyday!  I work and teach in the Philippines (a looot). In fact, I have worked as a teacher and as an adventurer for the last 19 years but you see I can only afford a trip for a day or 2 around the Philippines. So to come to Thailand for almost a month and volunteer to teach in an English Center as a missionary-teacher-volunteer is totally beyond my comprehension.  So here's the best part, I am completely convinced that I serve a God who majors the impossible.  He perfectly made this mission possible through your gifts and prayers.  Yes, you! ❤️🙏🎁 So, here I am, ready to respond to his sweet and gentle whispers to go wherever he wants me to!  Praying you all embrace the freedom to serve the God who created you all for his glory!  Amen.  ❤️Teacher Jane

Day 1 of 27 Dearest friends, I safely arrived in Bangkok at 10ish pm last night. Amid storm threats and lightning emergencies in Manila, God has brought me here on time.  I am overjoyed to see my missionary-teacher friend and sister in Christ. I am super blessed to be able to serve with her for the next 27 days.  Thank you for joining us as we see God's work continue here in Thailand.  I pray God's blessings of peace, joy and  wisdom for all of you this month of September.  Today, I will have my teacher-volunteer orientation before I meet my Thai students. I am thrilled! But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yea, doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Jesus Christ my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ. Philippians 3:7-8 In His joy and wisdom,  Teacher Jane In God's house are many mansions, indeed! 😊

Wonder. Wander. Weekend.

Day 22 of 27 I have 5 days to go in this Wonderland. I cannot not visit the market, the Carbon-like market in Saphan Mai (but layu ra sa kabarato ug sa kadaghang baligya). Woke up early today to take the train with Rhesa. She planned to cook law-uy (Thai edition) and so she did. I ate joyfully. The rest of my photos were captured from my happy and ever-delighted heart since I stepped here 22 days ago.  Tomorrow is a big day for our center since it is our month-end outreach and fellowship with our English learners. Pray with us for a Jesus-filled time.  Amen.
