Dear Prayer Partners,
The Psalmist says four times in Psalm 107, "Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men." After one flood in late September, Chiangmai experienced another flood in early October much worse than the previous flood. Two GRNT staff homes were severely flooded. Thank God for helping GRNT staff and friends in the cleanup and drying of things and that we are all safe. Thank God that though the flood waters crept up the road in front of the GRNT office, the water did not come in the front gate and the GRNT office building remained dry, though water flooded the office land behind the office. Praise God that GRNT was a blessing to people in our local community as the GRNT front area parking was a haven for them to park their vehicles till the water at their homes abated. It was great to have daily contact with them as they came in and out of our property.
Praise God for a wonderful children's camp by the sea for Urak Lawoi children last month led by a GRNT team in co-operation with Urak Lawoi Christians. Thank you so much for praying for our daily requests this month. God hears and answers!
