For many years, one of the thing that has impressed me (in a good and in a bad way) is the fact that the Christian women among the Tai Dam are the ones who are the most committed to the Lord, who do the most work for Him, and who have a desire to grow. Where are the Tai Dam Christian men?

 

There are quite a few in the US, who are able to lead and teach others. However when it comes to Asia, the numbers shrink to a mere handful. To be more specific, in Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam, there are only 3, with 2 more coming along.

 

Where are the MEN? As a man, one of the things which gives me an unsettled spirit is that I am working almost 100% with WOMEN. The women are the ones that apply the things that they learn. The women are the ones that obey the Scriptures, and the women are the ones who really have settled the issue that Christ is Lord. Where are the MEN?

• Granted, the business that we have started will to be focused on the women, and so I pray - Lord show us what "man" things can we get involved in to draw more men in!! I would ask you to pray that the MEN would see through dreams and the study of the Word, that Christ is Lord and there is no one else. Tai Dam men will need to bow the knee to His Lordship.
• Secondly, with so many women involved in our business, please pray for another woman worker to come and join us in this work. Whether in Thailand, Laos, or Vietnam, women are the ones that we are in contact.

Spirit Doctors
The Taidam village will have one or two spirit doctors. This role is passed from father to son, and the initiate must undergo training in prayers, ritual forms, healing technique, and other kinds of sorcery.
