It has been a while since you have seen this subject on an email. Please forgive me.

Monday evening I had the opportunity to give the Gospel to a "General" in the police force. He is in charge of the police academy. Another missionary, Wayne Snyder, set up the meeting, and we had dinner together. Before I could even start, he was asking questions about Christ. I ate very little (believe it or not) because I was explaining about the Bible, God's Holiness, Love, and Justness. Please pray for General Chantol and his associate Reaksa. They both showed great interest. Pray for them both to have their eyes opened, be convicted of sin, and repent (turn from idols to the true and living God). Pray also for them to be open to listening to more of God's Word and even come to church.

Also, please pray for our relationship with the government. We have a new head of the Ministry of Religious Affairs, Mun Kun, and he is changing everything. He is requiring more reporting from the missionaries and the churches, but he is also making the religious policies more clear. This clarity could help prevent individual local officials from oppressing churches based on their own prejudice. This clarity could also go the other way and cause more oppression country wide. It is still too early to tell. Please pray for this situation and for Baptist missionaries here to be wise as serpents and gentle as doves.
