I just returned to Bangkok after participating in a ten day training on healing ministry. It was an awesome experience in every way. I learned so much more about healing and deliverance ministry as well as receiving personal ministry from the ELLEL team from Singapore. ELLEL is the organization that sponsored the training.
One of the highlights of the conference was that for the first time a group of Chinese Christians had been allowed to leave China and attend a conference like this. Over a third of the participants were Chinese members of the "underground church." So, the teaching was in English with Chinese interpretation. All the worship songs were sung in English and Chinese. It was really special! I loved listening to these brothers and sisters from China sing. They worshipped with such fervor and complete abandonment. Perhaps this is because they were finally free to do so!
One of the friends I made is shown in the picture teaching Annie how to read and write some of the Chinese figures. Annie is always curious about other languages. Her name is Christine and she is a teacher in Yunan province, very near the earthquake area. She came to visit us at NightLight before going back to China which was wonderful.
The other pictures are of my small group (quite a diverse and interesting mix) and a pastor and a prophetess from Jaipur who work with the desperately poor people in the slums. I hope to visit them in the near future. I will always cherish the friendships I made with people from throughout Asia who were at this training.
Thank you to those who prayed for me this Sunday. The service went very well. It was a small congregation and I think almost everyone stayed for prayer ministry after it was over. What a blessing to experience God's healing presence in that small little church somewhere in the backstreets of Bangkok!
