 I
thank God for always leading my life. I come from a Christian family
with 5 children. I have 2 older brothers and 2 older sisters. We
were all very happy, until tragedy struck and my father died in
a car accident. Soon after that my oldest sister died because of
a dangerous illness. When we lost the leader of the family, everyone
in the family faced a difficult situation. My mother had to carry
all the burdens. Mom had to work so hard in order to pay for our
school fees and all other expenses. I hoped that when I grew up,
I would study hard, earn lots of money and give it all to my mom.
So when I finished Grade 12, I decided to go to Bangkok to study
at a seminary. I graduated after 4 years and continue to serve God
in a local church. I was working with children while I studied.
After that I worked for Compassion, first as an information officer,
and then was promoted to the project manager 8 years later. During
this time, I met my husband to be and we married. My husband is
a pastor who loves God very much. We were always co-partners in
serving God. One day, I found out that I had a growth in my uterus
so I had to quit working and have an operation. After that I went
home to Chiang-rai for on-going recuperation. During this time God
gave me a burden in my heart to work with children, it was the same
time my husband’s term with the church was coming to an end.
We were free to pursue God’s will and pioneer a new work with
the church in a new location that God planned for us.
One day, I saw in my dream a picture of a woman calling me to serve
her. And here in Chiang Rai, I heard about YWAM’s Project
LIFE Foundation, and their Child
Sponsorship Program
that was looking for another member of staff to help Amarin a dedicated
woman who has worked for the project for 2 years on her own. It
was the perfect chance to work with the local children. Without
any hesitation, I applied and I was given the opportunity to work
with the program in November 2005. I love to work with children
just because they would normally be neglected by society. So the
opportunity to serve God through this ministry is such a great and
wonderful experience for me. It also allows me to be a witness to
the children. We do creative activities every Saturday and Sunday
in order to help them to learn more about God’s love and to
use spare-time effectively. They also learn some music, singing
worship songs, playing guitar and fun games.
My husband has pioneered a new church. It’s not too far from
my office, so the church can support the out-reach work with the
children. My husband and I started all the work by faith, we started
with nothing at all, we believe that God will look after our family
as we begin this new church plant in this area. One thing that God
has given us in order to encourage us is our new baby who is still
in my womb. I am now 5 months into pregnancy and I am sure he/she
would like to take part in our new work, too.
I thank God that my family is a part of his plan and we are willing
and happy to commit to serve Him in this children’s ministry..
