Dear Churches and Friends, January 2023 Bible Baptist Church started the year with a two-day mountain retreat. Our new year theme for the church is growing in faith. We looked at the importance of faith in relation to God; “without faith it is impossible to please God”. We had time for devotions and prayer as well. There was good food and fellowship with an excellent spirit. All were challenged and encouraged. We also had a good time of ministering this month. A small group of us went to visit Deat and Fang’s lost family members. We were able to sit down and give the gospel to both their grandparents, some cousins, and friends as well. There was one man, named Ttee, that accepted Jesus as his personal Saviour. Many seeds were sown, and it was a great opportunity for our young men and women to present the gospel. In addition, we had four visitors this month – Baun, Diau, Jo, Net. All are not saved. We thank the Lord for many opportunities this month to give the gospel, and also to grow men and women for our Lord. We also thank you for your prayers and support.

Dear Churches and Friends, September 2022 This month 3 of our men and I went to visit and minister to the family of Daet. He is a young man that has been growing in the Lord, and is doing some of the preaching. His mother and grandmother were saved in the last 2 years, a true miracle. Both followed and female goddess and spiritism. They live quit far from us in another province. Our group had an excellent visit and were able to minister to their church group. They have a small group that meets on Saturdays and just started meeting on Sundays. We were very encouraged to see this. We had morning devotions, Bible study, and sang songs in the evening. Daet was able to lead his uncle, named Chang, to the Lord earlier this year. Chang and his family live next to Daet’s mother. However, Chang’s wife and son, named Boat, are not saved yet. We spend time with Chang’s wife and son telling them about Jesus and salvation. Neither made a decision, but the seeds have been sown. We also were able to witness to several others and gave out tracts. It was an excellent time for our men (SingToe, Burt, Daet). They are really growing in the Lord and have a heart to minister. In addition, we visited a young man named Forhd. He was saved with us about 4 years ago, but has been out of church for a couple of years. This year he was in a motorcycle accident and was paralyzed from the waist down. He taught me a great spiritual lesson. He said that his legs were the cost he had to pay to Satan, for walking in Satan’s way. I was very surprised at his spiritual insight. He did say he was glad of one thing: he now sees Jesus in a whole new light. He shows no bitterness or anger – amazing. Thanks for prayers and support.

Dear Churches and Friends, July 2022 Bible Baptist Church is continuing to go forward with outreach. We have an ongoing print ministry that has translated and printed several small pamphlets. One of our pamphlets is about the dangers of alcohol, drugs, and gambling. All three are prevalent here. We also print tracts on a continual basis. Our tracts include several Chick tracts and a few others that we have translated ourselves. In addition to pamphlets and tracts we occasionally translate books. This year we just finished translating the Autobiography of George Muller into Thai. We post the book on a Thai Bible website for others to download and read as well. It will be a blessing to the other churches. This month we were able to visit a young man that was recently in a motorcycle accident. He was thrown from his motorcycle into a pole and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Our group went and sang a couple songs and had a devotion with him. He is already a Christian. We also went to the nearby university, where some of our members have graduated, and handed out tracts. Some of our young men will sit down with other students to explain the gospel and answer questions. We thank you for your faithfulness, prayers and support.

Jeff Gross #1451 PO Box 9 Harrison, TN 37341 May June 2022 Dear Churches and Friends, This year the Lord has opened up many opportunities for us to present the gospel to the lost, and we have seen several saved. A high school boy named Guy was invited to church. He stayed with us for about three weeks during school break. Our young men witnessed to him, and after about one week he accepted Jesus Christ as his Saviour. He showed much interest in learning the Bible as well. He is now living in a home for students and going to high school. He has already expressed a desire to come and study with us. Two of his friends, Chai and Pong, are living with us and going to high school while learning the Bible. We also went to another province and visited some family of two of our members, Deat and Fang. We were able to spend some time with Fang’s grandparents and present them the good news of Jesus Christ. We also spent time with Deat’s aunt and cousin and were able to talk about the Bible, religions, and salvation. No decisions were made, but seeds were planted. Tradition and ancestry are very important and influencing Thai families. A Thai feels like they are betraying their family if they trust in Jesus. Many believe that good luck comes from ancestors, so there is a fear not to follow in ancestor paths (1Pet 1:18). We thank the Lord for your prayers.
