We would like to ask special prayer for Pastor Lawan and her children’s home in Thailand. This ministry produces some of the best disciples for Christ that we have seen in Thailand. Pastor Lawan has the only churches in her area. In Thailand the percentage of the population that is Christian is small.
Pastor Lawan gets the children from the mountains where they would be locked into a life of poverty if they didn’t get the education Pastor Lawan provides for them. There are worship services every morning and every evening. The children come to Christ within the first 30 days of being in the home. Then they are trained to be leaders. The high school students have started a number of churches, and they go every Sunday afternoon to lead the services. It’s an amazing work. 
But this year the US$ dropped by about 15 percent, fuel prices have increased, food prices doubled, and rice prices have nearly tripled. This has left Pastor Lawan in debt. The food vendors are giving her credit to buy food for the children, but this won’t last long if she can’t start paying down some of her debt. We are asking that you would pray:
1) That the Lord would provide for her debts to be paid off.
2) That new monthly sponsors would step forward to help pay the extra costs of inflation.
3) That work would proceed quicker to help the children’s home become self sufficient; a. Making pens for animals that will provide food; b. Developing a plot of land for gardening; 
c. Build a building so they can have their own school. This will decrease their budget by not having school fees, plus students from nearby villages can attend a Christian school and learn about Christ. In the public schools, the Children are forced to bow in worship to idols. If the Christian kids don’t bow, they are ostracized by both teachers and students, and some have been beaten up after school.
