“For NEU to be filled with the knowledge of the Glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea

February 2012Update

2012-02-06T22:45:00.000-08:00

Highlights ministry Kade, Ice, and Kana: These are 3 girls in our leadership group. We have a bible study together, and they have been involved with ministry. These girls had a chance to do ministry with us staff girls and the Australian CCP (Cross Cultural Project). I am so thankful for them. They have a heart for their friends to know God, and it’s exciting to see a young generation who seeks to spread the Good News.

Praise God! 2 students, one girl (First) and one guy (Tdui), who professed their faith in Christ recently.

Gospel retreat @ Koa-Yai Mountain: We shared the Gospel many times and did lots of fun activities. My favorite thing about this retreat was being able to spend lots of time together and growing closer with the girls who went with us. Also, three Christians students, Kana, Tdong, and Ice, shared their testimonies. God has used their lives to impact those who listened – after the retreat, the non-Christian students whom I talked to were questioning what they really believe. Most of the questions that they asked can be summed up in this thought: “They do believe in God who created the world but still do not understand how can Jesus save all people and all nations. He is only one person but since the beginning there have been tons of sinners!!!!!! How can his life pay for everyone?

There are 3 girls (Ping Pong, Luck, and Iwe from picture below last 3 girls from your left ) from the retreat who I challenged to have a bible study. They all said yes, but we have not gotten to meet yet. Please pray for them, that God would work in their hearts to lead them to him.

Low light of ministry , Well, I am not sure what to say or if this is a low light, but I’m thinking about and still in the process of learning to understand life and seeing God in the real world.
I am learning to trust in Him and keep praying for these girls.

I meet with Josh, the girl who has struggled with her family. She said her dad is always checking on her to see what is she doing. But her need is in Jesus. I am not really sure what she means, and I am encouraging her to read the bible and pray if she still believes. Please be praying for her.
Am, one of my disciples, is in an unhealthy relationship with a non-Christian. Last time we met she said that whatever makes me happy, she will do. She believes she is Christian. Please be praying for her, that she will understand the real meaning of the Gospel, repent in her heart, and surrender to God.

How am I doing? I am doing very well and am really enjoying life with Him. God is teaching me to be satisfied in Him alone -“Depend on God” is my theme for this year. Through situations, friends, disciples, and scripture, I have heard God saying, “Come here, Come to Me, Seek Me, Walk with Me, Depend on Me, Don’t depend on your thoughts, your ways, or yourself.”
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him,and he will make straight your paths. Proverb 3:5-6

Trust in the Lord, my friends. He is trustworthy.
Thank you for your prayers and support .

November update

2011-11-09T22:53:00.001-08:00

How is my life?

Psalm 32: 8 “I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you ” And Psalm 86 : 10-11 “ For you are Great and do marvelous deeds; you alone are God . Teach me your way, O Lord, and I will walk in your truth; give me an undivided heart that I may fear your name ”

These scriptures explain how my life is and what I have been learning. Recently, I have read a book about the Character of God. He alone is God just continues to impact my heart - walking with Him and helping student to know Him are very difficult without truth that God reveals to us from His word. I mean, it is impossible to know Him if God does not allow us to know himself. Praise and thank God for the grace He has shown us!!!

How is ministry?

There is sad news and good news. Since August, Honey and I have had the chance to share the gospel and have bible study with many girls. God has been working in 5 girls, leading them to know Him. Praise God for what He has done! But at this time, one of my disciples (Josh) is struggling to commit to bible study due to family pressure. When her family found out about her interest in God, they became angry about her believing in Christ. Because she does not want to have conflict with her family, she will not commit to study the Bible with me but says she still believes in God , Please be Praying for her.

How is this semester? And Please be praying for

1) Leader group bible study: we have 5 girls who are our keys students (Am, Kade, Ice, Kana and Nam). We have the desire to help them learn how to be leaders - in the concept of both leading themselves and leading others spiritually. Please pray for them, specifically that God will give them a heart desire to be leaders in His way, that they will grow up in this area.

2) Body of Christ trip on November 28th: focusing on building the body of Christ. We have 13 Christian students and are longing to help 5 key students to respond to and lead this activity. Please pray for us from these scriptures: John 17:20-21 “ My prayer is not for them alone. I pray for those who believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you . May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. ”

3) CCP team is coming November 25th: there are 9 of them from Australia, and they will stay here for 2 months. Please pray for us to reach students at NEU so they might know God.

4) Please pray for Honey, my teammate and my roommate: She has had LUPUS for years and, it's been getting worse since last month. Now, she needs to take 10 pills a day, and those pills have such a negative side effect because they contain steroids in them.

Thank you for your prayers and support. When you think of me, please be praying for me through those scriptures at the beginning of this page.
Love in Christ

“A nationalized Laborer Producing Movement ”

2011-06-09T23:37:00.000-07:00

Dear Friends :) It’s been 2 months since the Thai Summer Project . After the TSP, the students had a summer break and all of the Staff a two week long retreat focused on being renewed, refreshed, refocused and revived. I had a very good time with the staff team during that time. While studying the Bible over the past two months, God has taught me that He calls us to be loved by Him and that those who trust in Him will never be disappointed. It hit my heart how important I am in God’s heart. I have learned to trust Him, not my job or people in my life (Jeremiah 17:7-8).

The new school year for 2011 begins this week. The Cross Cultural Project, a team of college students Campus outreach Lexington, arrived here on June 3rd. There are 8 students and 2 staff to “carry on” Jesus at NEU (“Carry on” is their theme this summer ) . The stage of ministry that I am in is very challenging because I am splitting my time between establishing my disciples (50%), equipping my disciples (20%), and evangelizing (30%). Please join me in praying:

1) For God’s wisdom and strength to serve Him for the purpose of leading students to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.
2) That God would allow me to help these students grow in their faith and understanding of the Gospel. ( Students - Am , Kade , Ice, Noon , Josh and Omm)
3) That the students and I would walk with God daily.

Please take time to pray for these three things right now. I really need your prayers!

Friends, thank you for your prayers and support!

In Christ

TSP 2011 Update

2011-04-15T03:15:00.000-07:00

I am very thankful for the time before the TSP. -We raised money for the TSP (a 3 week retreat called Thai Summer Project) by selling second hand things at a Lake as well as baking cookies and cake to sell around campus. -We did a Bible study and invited students to join our summer project to learn about God Who He is. I am very thankful for the Thai Summer Project in Pattaya Thailand . There were about 70 students and staff from KKU and NEU. There was 1 guy, Tdong, and 10 girls from NEU (9 Christians and 1 non-Christian). Most of my disciples, when I asked them what they learned at TSP, answered that they have learned how to surrender to God and have more faith in Him. One girl decided to give up her Big Sin that she could not give up this past year. She said that if she walks in that way she will not grow and she wants to grow and for God help her to fight sin. God amazingly led 9 students to know Him at TSP including one girl (Josh ) from NEU who just wanted to go because she wanted to see the beach. She professed her faith in Christ in an amazing way. She told me one night that she wanted to know God. In my mind I thought there was NO WAY and that she was just kidding me so I did not really pay attention to her. I told her how to pray on her own because I was so tired from a stomach problem, but she did not pray. I told Honey that Josh wanted to know God and Honey asked her questions to see if she understood the Gospel. She said that she really understood the Gospel and that she wanted to know Christ. So Honey led her to pray that night. After the TSP, she went home and showed respect to her parents by telling them politely that she became a Christian and they responded to her well. God has done great things at the TSP. He is working in students’ lives. He taught me about surrendering before Him through the TSP. When we give our heart to God, we will see blessings from Him. Thank you for your prayers and support. Glory to God, Sano

Desert becomes dessert ???

2010-11-09T23:53:00.000-08:00

“Suffering burn away the false selves created by cynicism or pride or lust . You stop caring about what people think of you . The desert is God ’s best hope for the creation of an authentic self . Desert life sanctifies you . You have no idea you are changing . You simply notice after you have been in the desert for awhile you are different . Things that use to be important no longer matter .The desert becomes a window to the heart of God . He finally gets your attention because he’s the only game in town ” : A Praying life by Paul E. Miller

This is one thing I have learn through students who I and Honey have taught them . They have been learning through suffering in their life with their family and they seek God through their suffer time. This touch my heart and I have seen God working in their life is such a beautiful and amazing How beautiful that God is working here . I have been learning more about faith in 2 Cor 5:7 we walk by faith not by sight . As I disciple students they didn’t seem to grow (in my eye) but yet It long term ministry it’s long life living with God and More than anything God is working here NEU for His Glory .
I am thankful that while I am helping people here to know about God , He is shaping me to be like Christ show me how weakness I am and how needy I need Jesus everyday , I have God to help me , well how can I say I do but God is in me work through me, Again Glory is to God .

Prayer Request
1. Pray for me in Col 4 : 2-4 “Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should.

2. Pray for my disciple there are Jane , Ice Kade Am and Omm : They will love the word of God , They will love God more than this world . God will work in their heart bring them to Him .

3. Pray for my financial support that God will give the rest of monthly(about 20%) . if who are interested to support please click here http://vimeo.com/16621789 or contact snow@campusoutreach.org

Moving Forward 2

2010-08-11T20:11:00.000-07:00

It’s been 2 months since my last update was sent, telling my friends that I had a chance to introduce myself to the first year students on orientation day. There have been many students who joined our CO Club and Friends forever retreat with the CCP (students from the USA). There are about 20 new girls who I can follow up with in order to share the gospel with them. There is one new girl who professed her faith in Christ whose name is Omm . We have studied the Bible together 2 times since then. As everyone know, from the last summer project, God blessed 4 girls to become His daughters and I have been doing bible study with them. They are learning different things about their lives as a Christian and 4 of them are still (FAT) faithful, available and teachable. I am thankful that God continues to work in their lives. They are being baptized on August 22nd and this is making them start telling their families that they are Christians. In Thai custom, it is not easy to tell your family that you have become something that isn’t normal for them. Their family may not understand what becoming Christian means. They may be angry with them, ignore them, or have no reaction. Thankfully Jane already told her mom and she said “OK” but still worries when she goes back home that people may ignore her. Am also told her family and they are OK with her as long as she is a good person. But Ice and Kade have not told their families yet. I have been learning how to lead these girls wisely which is not easy for me as sinner who has weaknesses. But one thing I am sure of is that I am leading them to God and not myself. Please keep me in your prayers. I need them!

-What’s next and what are my prayer requests?

I am going to follow up students who I have met the last 2 months and I am moving forward to lead 5 girls (Am, Jane , Ice , Kade, and Omm) closer to our God and to grow more in their relationship with me and other Christians.

1. Wisdom to follow-up about 20 girls in order to get to know them and to lead them join CO-Club activities.

2. Noon, Ploy, Ning and Im; they are interested to know more about God and I will meet them one on one to read and discuss a book called “Does religion really help humans?” and also watch the HOPE DVD with them .

3. Jane , Ice,Kade, Am : their relationship with God would grow and they would grow in terms of FAT (Faithful , Available, Teachable )

4. Kade and Ice in telling their families that they are Christians.

5. Pray that God will give me 100% financial support. I have about $460 in monthly commitments now and I need $190 more monthly support. (If you are interested in being my supporter or if you have friends who might be interested, please contact me on Facebook ( Sano Buasorn) or through email at snow@campusouterach.org )

Thank you for your prayer and support me .

C. Principle that I will not forget in order to focus on these goal and dreams.

John 15:16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will last.

2Corinthians 5:18-20 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God.

News Letter Jan 2010

2010-01-25T00:57:00.000-08:00

Dear My Friends

I hope everyone doing good .I am doing good, but pretty sad that all the CCP went back to AU already. I really enjoyed the time with them. We had a great time laboring together and doing activities together. Everything went well over the past couple months and I am so thankful for them. We started the CCP with a Girls’s retreat to the mountains and there were a lot of students who joined us. We spent 2 nights there and I had my first chance to teach in big group. One of the girls who joined us prayed to receive Christ (her name is Sine or Zine) . We ended last year with a Christmas party and then I had a great time with the Lewis family on Christmas. I really enjoyed a Fish Spa we visited @ Central Plaza, the new Mall in KK. After that, I went to visit a student’s hometown, Jane. She is very close to knowing Christ but her relationship with her boyfriend makes it difficult for her to follow Him. Finally, we had the Friends Forever retreat @ Ubonrat dam. It was an amazing retreat and the retreat made it simple and easy to start a Bible study with students afterwards because some students at the retreat shared their experience in a Bible study with P Brian. The day after we came back from retreat we had farewell party for girls who went to retreat with us . We had our first bible study in a big group and one of the CCP shared her testimony. It was amazing to me and I will never forget that day. I really want to see this happen again and again and I hope that this is just the beginning.
God has blessed me a lot over the last 2 months and I feel very encouraged by Him. Whenever I feel weak, I can see his power in me. During the past week I had no plan to share about him, but every time I met students I had a chance to share my testimony and answer questions that they asked me .

My prayer requests:
1. Pray that I would focus on God’s LOVE and Faithfulness and that I would Hope in Him
2. Am , Jane , Im , Ice, and Ning ; Please pray that they will join TSP this summer .
3. Please pray specifically for Jane, who is very close to knowing Christ as I mentioned before, that God will open her heart and lead her to Him.
4. Am and Ice still do not talk to each other but I had a chance to talk with them one on one and encourage them to restore their relationship. Please pray for both of them and I hope they will go to TSP .
5. Thai Summer Project is coming March 8, so please pray for us about this project.

Thank you for your prayer and support me .
Love in Christ
Sano

Let's go Forward

2009-10-29T21:13:00.000-07:00

Highlights:
1. I spent great time with about 8 girls and one group of students.
2. Bible study with Pui and Janny was great. We went deeper in our relationship.
3. I had a Birthday Party which about 40 students joined.
4. Looknam received Christ with Am, my roommate.
Lowlights:
1. Preaw, one of the girls who received Christ last term, does not walk with God because her family does not like it.
2. My Relationship with Am and Ice has grown far apart because of many reasons and we do not have bible study now.
Please pray that God would bless me and my team and help us go forward in the things below:
1. Let’s go forward in Personal time with God focusing on His love and Faithfulness and praying for students.

2. Let’s go forward in Wisdom and clearly sharing Gospel with Im, Ning, Milk, Lookenam , Noo , Sherry, Som-O, kung and Nicky.

3. Let’s go forward in Building Relationships with girls I met last term and growing closer and closer to them.

4. Let’s go forward in Team Ministry- CO-Club meeting, retreat with Australia CCP, and the next summer project. Pray that the project would have many NEU students to join.

5. Please pray especially for Janny, one of the girls I had bible study last term, that God will open her heart to bring her to his Kingdom. She opened up with me about very deep things which only God can help and heal in her life.
6. Please pray for Am and Ice. They used to be good friends, but they had conflict and I am not sure how to help them now. Only God can really help them. Pray that God will work in their hearts and draw them to Himself. We do not study the Bible now, but I still spend time with them.

7. Please pray for Bui that she would continue to grow in her relationship with God .

8. Pray that God will give me 100% financial support. I have about $360 in monthly commitments now and I need $290 more monthly support. (If you are interested in being my supporter or if you have friends who might be interested, please contact me on Facebook ( Sano Buasorn) or through email at snow@campusouterach.org )

Update june 2009

2009-06-01T20:17:00.000-07:00

Dear Friends

How have you been? I hope you are doing well. I am doing very good. Last month our staff team had a “Summer of Renewal” retreat near the beach in Ch-Am, Thailand. It is very beautiful place. It was a great time to rest and refuel. I am so thankful for that time and also for our supporters who made it possible. One of the key verses that I want to remember is Colossians 1:19 “For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him ”. We have Christ in us so we have everything in Him. After the retreat our staff participated in the 7th Congress on Evangelism in Bangkok. It was so encouraging to see around 4000 Christians worshiping God together.

Since the staff renewal time I have spent a lot of time planning ministry for this year on the campus. My Grand Theme that I will focus on this year is in Habakkuk 2: 14 “For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea”. My prayer for the ministry this year is that “NEU will be filled with the knowledge of the Glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea”. I am dreaming and trusting God to do many things:

1. See NEU students give honor and glory to God.
2. See NEU students worship God at our Church.
3. See NEU students have Bible study, prayer groups, and ministry groups on their own.
4. See NEU students join in our TSP retreat, Friends Forever retreat, and other activities.
5. See students sent out from NEU to become missionaries in Khonkaen, Northeastern Thailand, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and to the ends of the world.

Prayer Request
This is my dream and I am praying for God to bless the NEU students. As I plan and set goals I am asking God to use me and work through me by His power. I am specifically praying that…

1. I would develop relationships with more than 100 students. (especially 1st year students of the 4 year program)
2. I would like boldly share the gospel with at least 12 new friends.
3. I would see at least 5 girls go to the Friends Forever retreat and join in TSP retreat next summer.
4. I would challenge at least 5 girls to study the Bible together in the next year.

My dear brothers and Sisters in Christ, when I think about those things I cannot do it on my own. It is not my ministry. By the power of God I am just a jar of clay. To see His Glory fill NEU, I urge you to pray along with me:
: That God would give me strength and wisdom as I grow deeper in my relationship with Him.
: That God will bless all 4 things above and cause them to happen by His power.
: For the next 2 months as we host the CCP (12 American students helping us for the summer). Please pray that we will work as a team, help each other grow in Christ and have many relationships with students.
: For my monthly support. I have about 60% committed and continue to trust God for the additional 40% needed .

I miss you and thank you for being a part of my life. Thanks for praying for me and supporting me. May our Lord bless you even as I pray this for you from Colossians: “I ask God to fill you with the knowledge of His will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding; and I pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience.”

Love in Christ
Snow

“For NEU to be filled with the knowledge of the Glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea … For from Him and Through Him and to Him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen. ”

Thai Summer Project “More Than Enough ” @ Sin Siam Resort Rayong

Dear, Friends

We returned from the TSP beach retreat last week and now we have begun our summer training at church which includes about 10 students . At the beach there were about 40 students and half of them are not Christian. We focused on the theme “More Than Enough”. Many students said that they got to learn more about how our God is More Than Enough for all things. One girl (AM) said that “when I surrender my life to God then He blesses me more than I can imagine”. She is really growing in her faith which is very encouraging to me. One of the non-Christian students on the retreat said “I am so confused because I have never asked such questions as: Who am I?, Who made me?, Why do I sin?etc…”. I am so glad to hear how they responded so that I can continue answering their questions and helping them take steps forward in knowing our Lord. From this retreat I learned one thing which will impact the way I share the gospel. John 6:44 says, “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day.” I now understand more that knowledge alone cannot change people. God must do a work in their heart if they are going to come to know Him. I don’t have to worry so much about having all the right answers (but I try my best.) I know and trust that God will lead them on His way.

Please pray for :

· Keawwan and Wi; that God will open their hearts if it is His will. (Both girls went on the retreat and have many questions about knowing God.)
· All the students participating in our training over the next 4 weeks; that God will teach and help them to get to know Him more.
· Summer of Renewal staff retreat on 20th April – 14th May 09 .

Love in Christ

The Highlight

Ministry Highlight

1. My birthday Party a great opportunity to be witness : There were 24 girls who came celebrate ,I ‘d got a chance to give them Flier about gift from God also I gave birthday gift to someone who has birthday close to me .

2. Kaoyai-Trip a great time to see how amazing of our Lord : There were 19 person who went with us , I am so thankful for P ying’s first time that she drove for a long way , raining and very dark night J and we saved !!!! . Thankful for the weather at mountain no rain while we were there but when we came back to KK there were crazy rain and flood .

3. I am so thankful for My new ministry partner “ Am”, and Team work ; she has a desire to her friends on campus also she want to growth in a part of sharing gospel , It is very encouraging me when we go on campus hangout with students planning and pray together. I can see a team work through the time we spent with students or even sometime Nampeung(the other staff girl J) came to joy with students who I follow up.

My Roommate:)

4. Helping 3 students made a decision to know Christ ; I shared gospel by watching The Hope DVD with 3 girls (Zine , Jume , Bell) they made a decision to know about God more but do not make The decision to receive Him yet .

Jume ,Snow and Zine

Nampeung,Bell and Snow

5. Deepening relationship with students ; three are about 10 girls(all of them are in the list of my last update ) who I know more about them and shared my testimony with them . I also know 7 news girls most of them are first year only one is second year .
6. My mom was sick the way that God allowed me to share with my family ; she had a problem about asthma last month I went home to take care of her , took her to hospital , during that time I got to share about God with Mom and Dad but they just did not want to know , anti what I try to say well I am so glad that God gave me a chance to be witness with them I hope I will get to share more not only by what I will say also act it out J.Oh!! my mom is doing good , her health is better and better , she is happy now J Praise the Lord!!.
7. Flood ; There were raining after we came back from kao-yai trip because of that NEU and some part of KK was flood , school break for one week , students who live in the dorm of NEU could not go out from their dorm they needed to have a boat to bring them out to the other place . I needed to live in a house all that week so thankful for Tdong the guy who by bought food and took it to a home for us (Snow , Nampeung and Am)

My Personal time with God; What phrase should I use for my relationship with God…. He teach me in many way I am so thankful for His faithfulness ,patient , never give up working in my life , show me my sin and clean me in His way , Praise My Lord , My savior J
1. God teach me about my weakness as I ask for one of my pray request An Emotion ; the important thing that I see is how dangerous if we let an emotion lead our action its effect what I thought , people around me , it revealed what I believe in the deepest of my heart . I never realized that we can control it just say “well I feel this I will act it out I don’t want to fake I know I have sin I will confess if I’m not act it out it’s mean I am a liar ” but It’s not about what I say the truth is that we have fruit spirit “self-control ” we can control it causes it was created from our Father He rules everything also my emotion and We have his holy spirit too !! I realized now let an emotion lead is dangerous , no self-control which is fruit of Spirit , people around me get hurt , It is sin, God wants to change me , the truth will set me free, I don’t want to see my friends have sin causes my emotion , Thanks God for open my eyes to see my sin , It is very clearly and how dangerous if I still not seek Him about my weakness . Seeking God this topic God shown me something in this way most of my personal time with Him my attitude is that I want to know him and ask him to help me as he is my savior , many time I ask him to help me , to make me happy to give me what I want to be with me to…. Blaa blaa blaa . But what about He is my Lord !! I am not mine , I am His … My attitude that He is my Lord was gone somewhere and now He shown me what was wrong and I come back , surrender to God who is my savior and my Lord too!! .

2. Job 36:26 “Behold , God is great , and we know him not; the number of his year is unsearchable” As we learned theology about Unconditional election I was so confuse the way of our Lord and do not understand Him but I pray and seek Him more to understand Him and He said to me through that verse , I will not know him anything we want to cause He is great we are dust but as much as we know Him this is enough He is love , truth , life … Praise Him all I know and humble myself to His great . It is very encouraging me to seek Him more and more as much as I can know Him through His verses ,pray and praise Him what I know about Him also what I do not know He is incomprehensible. I have more faith , want to fight for my faith as in Philippians 2:12-13 “… work out your own salvation with fear and trembling for it is God who works in you , both to will and to works for his good pleasure ”

What’s next and prayer request??

1. On going raising supporter ; hope I will have 100 % in this year.

There are 3 girls who wants to know more about Christ as I told you in the beginning Please pray for my wisdom to lead them I don’t have any idea yet only hangout and give them a book to read. Second focusing on getting to know news students especially first year students please pray for the time to know news girls keep contact with them .
