The Spirit of Sacrifice



Day 12 of 27

Today in our English Class, we had TALK TIME. 

One of the questions asked for my learners to answer was, 

If someone gave you a million baht, what would you do?

Their answers were:

I would buy a jet. 

I would travel, go shopping and visit friends. 

I would give my Mom a European tour. 

I will buy a house and donate some to the poor. 

I would put all my money in the bank.

How about you?

How do you go about your worldly business?

Yes, we want to provide for family and friends but we must go farther. Our purpose is to please God in all things. 

Yes, we want social justice and diligence but again we have to go farther, we must walk the excellent way for the Kingdom giving God all the glory.

Are you operating in the spirit of the world or the spirit of Christ? If we are to live in Christ, we are to live a sacrificial life, giving up our own will for the will of Christ.

Amen.

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

The Green House Mansion

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.
