South Asia
Morris recently met with Das, a man in South Asia whom he had not seen for
15 years. Even though Das’ life has been full of hardship, his faith has remained
strong and he along with his family continue to follow Jesus. Das’ father was
one of the first people to come to faith in the area where Global Interaction
worked in the early 1980’s which had created quite a stir at the time. Das’ dad
chose to remain in his community expressing his new faith in a genuine and
thoughtful way. When he died, hundreds came to his funeral. This family have
been empowered to follow Jesus and in turn are showing The Way for their
community. - Morris

Before they completed their service in South East Asia Luke
and Felicity visited friends from the IS people group to share
goodbye meals. The hospitality and generosity of the people
had been such a blessing throughout their ten years. One
special person was Felicity’s friend Nikki who had lost her baby
and went into a coma after labour. Nikki and Felicity were able
to reflect on that difficult experience. Felicity reiterated how
she had prayed for Nikki in Jesus’ name and how her healing
and recovery had been miraculous. Nikki acknowledged that
Felicity’s God had heard her prayers. God has been working in
the lives of this family and we pray that He may bring other
followers of Jesus into Nikki’s path as Luke and Felicity have
returned to Australia. - Luke and Felicity
Paul travels to villages to spend time with young Thai men who
he first shared the Gospel with when they were studying to
be monks in Chiang Mai. Recently he met with Mr T for a time
of prayer, praise and Scriptural reflection. They talked about
the blessings and challenges that Mr T had experienced as a
faithful witness in his community.
When Paul drove away from Mr T home he took a few wrong
turns. Pulling over at a general store, he stopped to ask
directions. When a couple and their baby pulled up on their
motorbike, Paul heard a familiar voice call out and looked
around to see it was Mr W! Mr W was an ex-monk friend who,
several years earlier in Chiang Mai, had occasionally listened in
on Paul’s discipleship conversations with other monks. Amazed
at the encounter, Paul told Mr W that he had been to the village
to visit Mr T. Mr W replied that he had just moved into a nearby
community with his young family. After getting their photo
together, Mr W asked Paul to put him in touch with Mr T so he
could hear more about the Living God, the God of coincidences!
