I am still weak.
Dear friends,
Becuase my open heart surgery, I am still very tired and week. Please keep me in your prayers. When I am completely recovered, I will do many good jobs for our God. God bless you all.

Statement of Faith
THE GODHEAD:
I believe the Godhead exists in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. These three persons are one God having precisely the same nature, attributes and perfections.
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST:
I believe in (a) His eternal existence as God, (b) His Incarnation and Virgin Birth, (c) His death on the cross as the substitutionary atonement for sin, (d) His literal, bodily resurrection from the dead (e) His present ministry of intercession in heaven, and (f) His personal, future return to earth.
THE HOLY SPIRIT
I believe that Holy Spirit, the third person of the Godhead, convicts men of sin, regenerates, baptizes indwells, seals, and sets apart believers unto a holy life ; that He keeps empowers believers day by day ; that He is the Teacher of the Word of God and the Guide for daily living.
THE SCRIPTURES.
I believe (a) in the plenary verbal inspiration of the Word of God, and (b) that both the Old and New Testaments are inerrant in the original writings and are the supreme and final authority for faith and life.
MAN
I believe that (a) man was created innocent and pure, and (b) Adam fell through the sin of disobedience. Therefore, (c) all men are corrupted in body, soul, and spirit ; and (d) all men need redemption.
SALVATION.
I believe that (a) salvation is by grace, a free gift of God apart from works, (b) salvation requires repentance, a turning from one’s own way to God’s way, (c) salvation is through personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, (d) all who receive Jesus Christ are regenerated by the Holy Spirit and become the children of God, and (e) true salvation will manifested by a changed life.
THE FUTURE
I believe (a) in the personal, visible, bodily return of Jesus Christ to earth, (b) in the bodily resurrection of the just to the eternal abode in the glory of God’s presence, and (c) in the bodily resurrection of the unjust to judgment and everlasting punishment in the lake of fire.

Maesot biblical Training Center Up-date
MBTC was founded June 4, 1994. It is located in Maesot town on Thai-Burma border in Tak province northern west Thailand.
MBTC was started in nine small bamboo houses with grass roofs. As the Lord has provided, we now have 15 acres of land, seven concrete buildings, six houses half concrete and half wooden and one wooden house for a total of fourteen buildings and houses for class rooms, boys and girls dormitories, married housing, cafeteria, and houses for faculty/staff.
The school is producing well-trained evangelists, ministers and leaders of local churches especially for those who do not have high school education. In Thailand, because of poverty level, less than 1% of the modern young people in the village can attend high school. Therefore, this school was established for the people who do not have much education. Many of them can not even read and write in Thai which is the official language of Thailand. We firmly believe that the gospel is not only for the educated. Therefore, we need workers for the Lord from different levels of living standards.
The school motto is “You will be my witnesses to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8.
The students who come to MBTC work really hard in their studies and also proclaim the gospel to people in surrounding villages in every weekend. Most students' life was really changed as they met Christ at MBTC through study the word of God and deep devotions. So, MBTC is becoming a place of dig deep the word of God, a place of changing life, a place of knowing Christ better and a place of going out for the gospel of Jesus our Lord.
The school requires a student to be trained at the school for three years and awards a Diploma of Ministry. The first graduation of MBTC held on February 14, 1998. Fourteen graduated at that time. Nine classes have graduated since then and seventy three graduates are now serving full-time ministry in local churches. Many others are serving in Bible training schools and orphanage centers while others are traveling to villages all over northern Thailand to proclaim the gospel of Jesus our Savior to the people who are lost.
We are expecting more students to come. Please pray for MBTC so that we can send out more laborers for Christ’s harvest field. Many young people and adults want to come, but have no money for tuition. Most students need financial assistance even at only $350 for a year in MBTC. Please pray for these needs. The students want to go out to share the love of God with others who are dying without Christ. Through their efforts many souls are won to the Lord.
