We have told you the story of GeeBeeYa, a new follower of Christ that lives at the garbage dump. She is married and has two children. Her husband lives and works about 3 hours away. When GeeBeeYa was saved she immediately started to share with her husband, GoWin, when they spoke on the phone. At first he skeptical, but then started to realize how God had changed his wife. This went on for about a month before GoWin was able to come home for a week long break. He invited us to come to his home and share with him. We did this for several days in a row. NyiNyi even took him fishing and shared with him there. God worked a mighty miracle and GoWin is now a brother in Christ.
As the time came for him to return to his job, he was hesitant to go back. His job requires him to work every day, all day with only one off-day a month. The are are no other Christians where he works and as a new Christian he would have no one to lead him in Bible Study. He also did not want to leave his family. We encouraged him to read his Bible and pray and to know God is in control. We let him know that every time he had an off-day, we would come see him. This week he had his first day off and NyiNyi and I went to see him. When we got there we met the seven other men GoWin works with. We all crowded into their 10’x10′ bedroom and begin our visit. To our joy, the men let us know that GoWin had been sharing his faith with them from the first day he came back. He took Jesus’ command to go and make disciples seriously. The Holy Spirit is at work among these men. They all wanted Bibles and are now reading their way thru John. We hope to be able to go see them weekly. We will have to go later at night and only be able to stay for a short time. Please pray for these men.
GoWin and GeeneBeeYa speak on the phone every night. They study the Bible, pray and sing praise songs together. They are an encouragment to us and hopefully are to you.
Love, Doug
