Fleur: Are you working tomorrow?
B: Yes, I work everyday.
Fleur: Did you know that God created the world and everything in it in six days then he rested on the seventh day?

Fleur: Yes. And if God took a day for rest, then it is okay for us to rest for a day each week too.

Setting: Thursday evening, teaching business English class
Cast: P, a Thai student learning English, culturally BuddhistJulia, me, the teacher
P: You are very brave for coming to live here all by yourself.
Julia: I believe that God will protect me and take care of me.
P: Do your parents worry about you?
Julia: They also believe that God will take care of me.
The following week P had some more questions...
P: Do you get paid to teach English?
Julia: No. P: Then why do you teach?
Julia: I just like to get to know people.
P: You are very kind.
Julia: Well, I used to be a very selfish person, but my life was changed by Jesus Christ. Can I tell you about it?
After sharing my testimony and the good news of salvation through Christ, P responded with "Thank you, Jesus!" These words are a result of God working in her life, and I pray her desire to know Christ increases every week.
