Tae Kongsanan
 I
can confidently say that God is my saviour since He sent His one
and only son to die on the cross for our sins. I also believe that
nothing can separate us from Him, except by our own choice.
Everyone that believes in God will know
His voice and live their life in relationship with God.
We are challenged with things that we cannot see, and it is like
we are wearing a blindfold and have someone leading us along. To
go on further, we need to follow and trust their guidance. Just
like there are many of us obeying and following God, not knowing
what they will meet along the way. We have hope that one day we
will receive the prize that God has in store for us.
My name is Sirikanya Kongsanan, but I am known by my nickname ‘Tae’.
I am 25 years old and come from a Buddhist family. I am the eldest
child and have one younger brother and one younger sister. I was
born in Nong Khai province in Thailand. Nong Khai lies on the Mae
Khong river, which runs between Thailand and Laos. I lived there
until the year 2001, when I completed High School, after which I
had the opportunity to study International Business at a university
in Bangkok. I was the first one in my family to be able to study
at university. I had the opportunity to stay in a Christian dormitory,
called House of One Heart
(BJD), which is a discipleship house ministering to university
students and ministry of Youth With A Mission (YWAM). I got to stay
there because I followed a friend who went to stay there because
they were Christian and had a relative staying there. Whilst staying
at Baan Jai Diaow, I had to join in the activities run there, which
included bible study, and worship times. I joined in these activities,
but wasn’t really interested in it all.
Then in late 2001, I had the opportunity to join in a Kings Kid’s
camp, which is another ministry of YWAM. At that camp, I saw some
miracles of God. One day, while we were doing some evangelism, one
of the youth had a really sore stomach and was crying a lot. We
didn’t have any medicine with us, so we prayed and asked God
to heal them. In a short time all the pain had gone away. After
seeing that miracle from God, I started to be interested in Him,
and wanted to know more about Him. After that I was able to see
people who really loved God, and see how different they are from
everyone else. They really love other people, they give of themselves
not expecting anything in return and many other things. I also studied
the bible more, and really started to see the love and character
of God, and saw that He is the only one who can fill all the voids
in my life. This is why I opened up my heart and accepted Jesus
into my life, letting Him be Lord in my life. I was able to study
the bible more with some missionaries, and continued to study at
university.
 In
2005 I went to study in a Discipleship
Training School (DTS) which is a course for building disciples
by helping them know God more. In that time I grew and learned a
lot, especially in hearing the voice of God and His calling. In
early 2006, after DTS, I had the opportunity to serve with the YWAM
Thailand National Office in Bangkok, as an accountant and also helping
with the Performing Arts Ministry. This is a volunteer job with
no salary, and thus I rely on God and other people for financial
support. I have committed to serve here for one year, and after
that I would like to study and learn more in the areas of worship,
intercession, dance and music, so I can know the heart of God more.
I would also like to study a School of Biblical Studies to help
me know the word of God more, and to know Him more.
Ways that you can be praying for me:
- Pray that
I will continue to know God more and have more of a heart to
serve Him.
- Please pray
for my family, especially my mother and sister who do not know
God yet.
- Pray for
my finances, that I have enough to help support my family, including
my brother who is currently studying at university, and that I
will have enough for myself too.
- I have a desire to study more about worship, intercession and spiritual warfare, so that I can know God more. I plan to study the School of Worship here in Bangkok this April. Pray for this, and that the finances will be provided for me. I will need about 40,000B (US$1150) for both the lecture and outreach phases.
