After the women's prison and resting at the clinic for an hour or so, we left to go to an dinner at a restaurant located right on the water's edge in direct view of Elephant Island, the second largest island in Thailand (next in size to Phuket). We had another superb dinner, with three different kinds of crabs (one cooked in sweet curry sauce), a fried oyster dish quite similar to that cooked in Gulanyi Island in Amoy among other very fresh seafood dishes. We then returned to our hotel, tired since it has been a long day, but we paused to do a short group devotion and debrief the day's activities. We thanked the Lord since it was such a fruitful day of harvest and ministry, much beyond what we deserve. Our God is such a good God. It was during this debriefing time that Joseph shared about some of the events at the rehab center on Wednesday morning before we drove down to Trad. When we started singing, there was a table of people who continued to talk loudly through several of our songs, but half way through Nadia's testimony, they stopped talking and listened the rest of the program. During lunch, Joe and Fiona found out the old man at this table was telling fortunes, and so his loud talking we now perceive to be spiritual warfare, but something Nadia said probably blocked the fortune telling. Then several other people in Vision shared how much they felt oppressed and wearied as they sang at the rehab center. We then realized that the blind woman who Wanni led to Christ and wanted to pray until she received her sight could hold a key to a spiritual breakthrough in that place, so we closed our debriefing time by joining in praying for a miracle for the restoration of her sight. Please join us in praying for a breakthrough starting with this miracle which we believe God is waiting to perform. Since tomorrow also requires an early start and is a long day with ministry at the HIV hospital, a concert for the staff at that hospital (Buddhist run), followed by a revival meeting at the Trad church that night, we all retired to our quarters by 9 PM. Especially when we go to the Buddhist hospital, we need to be more prepared for spiritual warfare and not be caught unaware as when we went to the rehab center.
July 10 – After another fine breakfast at Dr. Glome's clinic, we arrived at the hospital for HIV positive patients and immediately took a prayer walk around the place we were going to sing. Alice sensed there was a spirit around the podium area because she said as she walked by there, she felt an obstruction blocking her path. So several of us went and prayed around the podium. Later, she said it had moved to the side of the podium. We prayed some more and then she said it was OK. The meeting was joint program with the BH youths leading a song icebreaker game time with the audience. We sang with Jeremy and Eugene giving their testimonies about trust and hope in God. Dr. Glome then gave her testimony including one time she contracted food poisoning while on a bus back to Trad. Unable to find a hospital on the road, she prayed and in 5 minutes, all the symptoms left her and she slept the rest of the way back to Trad, healthy. Ben with Wanni preached from Romans 12:1,2 challenging the audience to give their life to God. One lady patient and another man stood in response. We then ate lunch at the hospital. From man's eyes, we did not have a very successful meeting, but in the spiritual realm, who knows what seeds were planted; we leave it all to God.
