To win the lost for Christ and to nurture believers for lives of Christian service, all to the glory of God. Of the people baptized, some have had little or no contact with us before this week. Most we've known for a long time. All will need our prayers that they continue faithful to the Lord. Many know just the very basic rudiments of the Christian faith.
More teaching is needed.
Paul, MN will try to provide cassette and video tapes of Hmong worship and Bible lessons and clothing from time to time, all of which they'll send from the States. I'll continue my monthly visits. Some of the men from the village will come to Chiangmai for a weekend of further Bible classes with me. Some of those baptized today live in difficult circumstances with many children to care for or with family drug problems or with other difficulties. We need to all pray for and work for the care of all these people.
