(Kate) Rammasoon
Name:

Born: December 2, 1981
Home Town: Phang Nga, Southern Thailand
Therefore,
if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone,
the new has come!
(2 Corinthians 5:17)
My family background (1981 - 2000)
I was born in
Phangnga, the South of Thailand, and I was raised by my dad and
my step mom. I have 2 older sisters who have the same dad and mom
like me, and I have another 2 younger sisters who were born from
my step mom. My oldest sister left home with my real mom when I
was very young, so I didn’t really know them. My older sister and
I grew up among the hatred of my dad’s relatives because they didn’t
like my real mom at all. I believed in many lies about myself and
my family, and I often looked for a chance to run away from home
because it seemed like only way to be free.
I
didn’t have any good relationship with my dad and my step mom, for
I had such a low self esteem, and I didn’t feel I’m belonged to
the family. I responded in arrogant and aggressive way to everyone
who didn’t treat me nicely, and I was resentful to my step relatives.
One day I spent my scholarship to attend the English camp which
was held by the YWAM DTS Montana team, when I was 13 years old.
I heard about God and the darkness for the 1st time, and there was
one girl who danced freely in worshiping God, and it inspired me
to want to dance like her. Four years later I met with a couple
who taught English to my class. They are missionary, and they built
relationship with me, and they took me to the Church. I didn’t believe
in God, but I kept going back to Church, studying Bible and hanging
out with Christian. Also, I was in my darkest time because I completely
had nobody stands for me, most of people that I related to they
turned against me with different issues, and I attempted to suicide,
but it didn’t succeed. One day my step mom found out she was pregnant,
and she wasn’t healthy at all, so she had to stay in hospital several
time since she was bleeding so much. I was afraid that I won’t be
able to move to Bangkok to study if my step die, and I was hopeless.
When I went to church again, I asked people in the church pray for
me and my step mom, and finally I knew God is real when he did miracle
to my youngest sister’s birth. My step mom is alive, and my youngest
sister is healthy.
Growing up as a Christian (2000-2005)
Then
I moved to study in Bangkok, by that time I was a new believer.
God led me to stay in House of One Heart, a Campus Ministry under
YWAM Thailand. I was disciplined through all of House of One Heart
programs, and in my third year of university, I wanted to know God
more. I took off from University to do DTS, Disciple Training School.
Then I came back to serve with the National Office in YWAM Thailand,
and through these couple year of serving, God prepared me to see
my real vision. I have a heart to for redemption of Thai culture,
and I was involved with Performing Arts and Worship ministry. After
I graduated from the University, I moved up to ChiangRai to take
dance classes with Jackie Robinson, for I had applied for School
Of Dance Studies in YWAM Montana base.
DTS Staff in ChiangRai (2005-2006)
I didn’t get to go to school in the year of 2006, and I found out
that God wanted to train me as a DTS staff. I had such a wonderful
experience of being DTS staff in ChiangRai. I had seen my faith,
truth, and my passion for Thailand growth. I had inner healing through
the DTS classes about my family and my personal respond to my own
crisis. Then in September 2006 I was in America to do a dance school.
School Of Dance Studies experiences (2006)
I
learned difference kinds of dance technique there, and I’ve seen
God is with me all the time, for I had less of experience in dancing
technique, but God allowed me to learn about my own body and the
dance that would fit me very well. I took Ballet, Jazz, and Modern
dance from the school, and I like Modern dance the most. This school
took 6 months long, and I went to HongKong and China for the school
performance tour. I enjoyed every moment in the school, but sometimes
there were tough time to learn in my second language with lots of
assignments to handle in, and because of the program I learned so
much about dance.
Serving in Thailand (2007)
I graduated from the school on the 23rd March 2007, and now I’m
back in Thailand to serve under The National Office as Thai Administrator
Assistant. Also, I’m dance trainer for students who live in House
of One Heart, and I’m a Performing Arts staff. I love to dance and
worship God, and in the same time I want to serve God and serve
ministries, and people in Thailand by working in the National office.
