"I've Heard These Stories Before"
by "Molly," Thailand
14 May 2008
listening to Bible stories
Yai Tem, right, listens to a Bible story.

When we began telling Bible stories in one Thai community, the villagers told us that they had heard the stories before, when they were very young. All those who could tell the stories have passed on now, and those who last heard them are in their final season of life.

One of these, is Yai Tem, an 80 year-old woman. She remembers how God created man and that pairs of animals went onto the ark and thus survived the flood. These stories had been passed down from the lineage of Noah to her ancestors. She says she knows the stories of the Bible are true because she heard them from her relatives when she was very young.

Yai Tem is the sole reliable care provider of Noi, her granddaughter, a four year-old orphan. She worries about Noi’s future, especially when she is no longer alive to care for her.

Pray

  • for God to provide for Yai Tem's physical needs, and give her strength to care for her granddaughter.
  • for Yai Tem to embrace a relationship with her Creator God.
  • for Noi to be well cared for until she is an adult.
  • for the continuing outreach in this village to draw many people to their Creator.
