New Designs and Patterns
Eli is spending time working on some new designs and patterns. Eli  is also accompanying another couple, that returned from the Bible Training Center, doing visits twice a week.  She has also found many doors of opportunity within her own family, for which she is praising God. 

 

One particular aunt is interested in knowing more about God but has some concerns for her daughter.  She has problems with evil spirits and goes to spirit doctors and Buddhist priests to try and deal with the problem.   Eli was able to share that all these are of no value, as only Jesus can take away the authority of the Evil One.  So the auntie responded, “Well then, can I have Jesus in my life and will He then be able to help my daughter?”  Eli replied, "No, each one has to make this decision herself." The aunt then asked, “Well then, can you help her go the Jesus way on the phone??”  What would you say to that question?  We said that for her ongoing life in Christ it is best for to have personal contact with some Christians but she can be led to faith over the phone!  PTL that our God is not one limited by space, time, or communication forms!!  Eli is very excited to see all this spiritual excitement among her family and village. Rejoice with us, that we were able to ship our first shipment of woven items a couple of weeks back.  The feedback is that they are very pleased with the quality and colors of the woven items (these were woven in Thailand).  There will be a show where these items are featured this next week, and we pray it will help publicize more about the Tai Dam.

Our co-workers recently reported that there are now over 100 ladies, that have been trained through their project.
