Reaching Hands

YWAM Ratchaburi

God loves the broken in spirit. He reaches out to them. He uses people to reach out to them. So often the poor are downtrodden- barely noticed by other people in society. They are looked down on and very often they are in need of healing. They need to know that they also belong. They belong to Jesus.

In the slums and small villages of Ratchaburi, there are so many people who are hungry for God. Many of them are living in the mistakes that they made that they never seemed to be able to solve. Some of them are living in the mistakes of their parents and grandparents.

In one particular area that we minister in, this is not the case. For them they are doing the best that they can to give their children the best life that they can. They come from the ‘Mon’ tribe in Myanmar. In Myanmar they are looked down on. In Thailand they are looked down on. But at least in Thailand, they can live happily with their families without their lives being endangered. Many of the young adults have barely even been back to Myanmar and most of the children of school going age were born in Thailand and have never set foot in Myanmar.

We are running a Bible study with a group of the young adults and a children’s church with almost 20 children from the community. Although they cannot go with us to church as they have to work seven days a week just to make enough money to get by, they happily give up their evenings to learn more about Jesus.

Many of the older generation persecute the younger men for joining in the Bible study and have asked them on more than one occasion to choose between Jesus and their family. We believe that God is making them stronger through this persecution – please pray for them.
