Nightlight

This morning we left the hotel to go to visit Nightlight where they make the jewelery and house and give work to about 80 women that are now off the streets. We started out sitting in their prayer meeting/worship/devotion time. It was all in Thai and we only recognized one song at the very end....As the Deer. It was precious...these ladies some saved, some not, sang with gusto. Their music was beatiful and as we came up the staircase (typically Baptist late) I heard their voices and it was strong and beautiful, Kim remarked it almost sounded like a choir. Finding out later that some are saved and some are not. The passage the pastor preached from was Jeremiah although we didn't know that until later. The precious girl next to me had a Thai Bible (they all did) but she sat most of the time in the index trying to find Jeremiah. I wished so bad that I knew where to point her. But at this service w/no interprter, it wasn't possible. (not that I could figure her Thai Bible out) It was an amazing God honoring and exhalting time even though we couldn't understand.

After that, we hugged ladies, 2 year olds and babies. I wish I could upload pictures but I'm at another hotel and have no idea how to do that. We sat and heard the rescued testimony of a darling Thai lady, my age, who has had an unspeakable life. But God has redeemed this beautiful lady. So...now it's lunch and I thought I had 1/2 hour to kill and they just said our table is ready....so..I'm holding everyone up. Sweet dreams over there.....

Love ,
