No-bake cooking night with friends from English class at UniteBKK.
Uarn's story started a few weeks ago. Start here to read from the beginning.
"I believe in God but my dad won't let me." Uarn shared during conversation time after English class. I put down our English worksheet. No amount of English is more important than this.
It just so happened (in a completely God way which means not as a coincidence), that the three people sitting closest to us were Thai Christians who had also com to English class. Uarn knew this was a place she could find out more about this God who loves her. She admitted, however, "It doesn't look like a church."
As she shared her desire to "see" God, Mii opened up a Bible and pointed to a section for Uarn to read. After reading the story to herself, she looked up in awe.
"Have you ever read the story of Zacchaeus before?" One of the others asked.
"No..." Uarn said contemplating what she had read with a smile on her face. Then her smile faded. "My dad won't let me read the Bible. I want to be a Christian. I believe in God, and I love God." Passion streamed through Uarn's young voice.
"If you really believe in your heart, than you are a Christian already. It doesn't matter what your ID card says. God knows your heart." Mii encouraged Uarn. She shared how Jesus sought out Zacchaeus and wanted to spend time with him even though he was a sinner, just like he wants to spend time with Uarn.
We are praying that Uarn can keep coming to English classes and hopefully to church and small group Bible study. How amazing it would be to see this high school student grow in her passion for God and begin planting seeds of the gospel throughout her circles of influence--with her family, friends, neighbors, schoolmates, and teachers.
