About 30 Thais and a few members of my team walked one by one to the center of the stage at the end of the service at New Vision Church on Sunday.  We each paused holding a card describing our lives before Christ.  After a moment, the card was flipped to reveal how Christ has transformed our life. 

It was awesome to see how God has worked in the lives of these Thai believers and see them proclaim it to all those watching.  I pray this begins new conversations with those who do not yet know Jesus and ignites a desire for them to draw closer to God.
