Bangkok Baptism

Hello Friends,

This will be a quick email; we have two much longer team emails coming later today. But we wanted to let you know about something very exciting happening today and to ask you to pray.

At 1:15pm Bangkok time, our wonderful friend Si is going to be baptised. Some of us met her for the first time in October of last year. She has been living at Home for New Beginnings after leaving prostitution and her work in beer bars here in Bangkok. She has been on an amazing journey, and next month will begin taking classes at a bible college. Si came to Bonita and told her she wanted to be baptised so that "Satan would know that she doesn't belong to him anymore".

We are so thrilled that we have the honor of being witness to this sacred day in her journey. Please pray for Si and for her life, that God will continue to bring healing and freedom to her, will redeem all the parts of her life and use them for His glory.

As I'm typing this, Jen just came to tell me that our friend Kwan Ji who was here in October and then left the Home against the encouragement of the staff here, is moving back in today!! She called to speak to Anne and Bonita yesterday saying that she wanted to come back but felt ashamed for making the mistake of leaving. Please pray for her, pray shame off her and grace on her so that she will feel like the prodigal daughter coming home, feeling embraced and welcomed and loved, and will feel much celebration at the fact that she has returned.

Thanks, we miss you all but are continuing to have an amazing time here. Much more later!

Sue
