Hello Friends!
Your prayers are powerful! And they are needed around the world in Thailand today.
Our Thai ministry partner, Art, (pictured in the top) will be going to the hospital tomorrow to pray over her sister who in on her death bed, fighting a rare blood and thyroid disease.
Her sister's name is Mot (pronounced moat) and she has been in ICU for a few months now. Every day, Mot's husband goes to the spirit house at the hospital and begs the spirits to save his wife. Their entire family, like most Thai people, is deeply immersed in the folk Buddhism.

For many years, Art's entire family has been closed off to the Gospel message, seeing it as a western-religion and against everything Thai. Art is the youngest in her family, and culturally she has no influence to show the Gospel to her family.
But her family has never been desperate like this. Two nights ago, Art had a dream that her sister told her that her own spirit is unsettled. She is scared, and hopeless. In the dream Art said to her family, "You've tried it your way, it's time to try it my way." She believes this is a sign from the Holy Spirit that she needs to go to the hospital this weekend, help her sister renounce the evil spirits they've held onto, and declare healing in Jesus' name.
Due to COVID, no one has been allowed into her room. We've been showing loving kindness in many ways by reaching out to her, and Brandon had a chance to go give blood that could be sent to her a few weeks ago. This greatly impacted the family and opened a great conversation for her family. But something changed this week and Art is able to go in now!
In the afternoon on Saturday Bangkok time, Art will be going in by herself to push back the gates of hell and declare healing in Jesus name, presenting the Gospel to Mot.
Will you please join us in prayer, especially before you head to bed tonight (Friday) and pray:
1) That Mot would be healed in Jesus name.
2) That Mot and her whole family would renounce the evil spirits.
3) That Mot and her whole family would turn to Jesus.
4) For protection, wisdom, and spirit power for Art.
Your prayers are powerful, and greatly needed.
Thank you all very much!
Brandon and Rachel
