"They WILL be"

We've been having evangelistic meetings every night this week. The number of people that attend our church is quite small, and we have been attempting to increase that number.  Last Saturday we handed out flyers to people on the street, the papers promoted the meetings this week.  Because most of the people here are Buddhist, it's hard to convert them.  The one thing that seems to draw them to Adventism here are the health message.  It also helps that we speak English, and people here are dying to learn it here.

So, our meetings consisted of songs, that helped the people learn English, a health message, and a sermon.  I have never seen so many people in our church before.  It was amazing!!  Leah and I are not singers, if you ever asked to me to sing back home in front of the church I would look at you like you are crazy.  But, that is not the case here.  The people expect us to sing!!  So, I have to humble myself and get up front.  I'm really not a good singer, but they wanted me up

front every night singing for song service.  

I've never been so involved with a worship.  This experience is a good one for me.  The Thai way is to put stuff on you the last minute.  So, when Leah and I arrive at church, we find out a few minutes before that we are expected to do the children's story!!  It really has taken some getting used to.  But, I figure I am here to serve these people, so I have to have more humility and realize that I am not doing these things for myself; I am doing them for

God and His purpose.  

I had a conversation with one of the health speakers.  He is from Bangkok and wanted to know a little about me and Leah, so he started talking with us at the end of the program one night.  He was telling us that he is proud of what we are doing, and that people will go to heaven because of us.  I smiled at him and I said hopefully.  Then, he looked me straight in the eye and said: THEY WILL BE.   All I could think was:  Wow, I hope he is right.
