Who would have believed that at this time he would be sitting in a New Tribes Chronological Teaching time for two months?  Who would have believed he was one of  God's chosen people?  Who would have believed he would still be alive today?  Certainly, not many of the Black Tai people in his village.

Proverbs 19:21- Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the LORD that will be established.

God had His eye on Uncle P long ago.  However in His providence, it took nearly 60 years and much sickness to get him into His Kingdom!  The Lord is so patient with us! 

 

Uncle P had been weak and not able to work for most of his life.  His trips to the hospital and/or doctor are too numerous to count, and in the end, this sickness was going to take his life.  The doctors had told him to go home and get his affairs in order.  However in this last surgery, Uncle had a visit from another Christian man, who prayed for him.  Uncle P was humbled and desiring anything to "hold" on to.  At what point Uncle was saved by God is anyone's guess, but he began to grow in  faith. 

 

A few days after the surgery, he sat up and started to get ready to go home.  The  doctor asked him where he was going.  Uncle said, "Home. I feel better and stronger than I have in many years!"  The doctor said, "No, you don't have the strength!"  Again Uncle said, "I have more strength today than I have had for over 10 years!"  The doctor did some tests and was amazed to see the healing that had happened in Uncle's body!  God has done a miracle!!!

Last February, it was a privilege to be a part of Uncle's and his wife's baptism.  He has answered many questions as best he could about his new faith and miraculous healing, but he wanted to know his Savior better.  So he is now doing a 2 month Bible study course at a training school. This time of study and ministry for this 60 year old is quite a chore, but he is truly grateful to have this chance.  Most of the folks at the training school are young, so everyone is very blessed by Uncle's life and testimony.  God is up to great things in this place.  We just need the eyes of faith to see it.

• Pray that Uncle P and his wife would learn all they can.  He has a hard time trying to remember, due to all the medication he has had to take over the years! 
• Pray also that he would understand what God is calling him to, once he returns home in a month.
• Praise God for His love and faithfulness.
