January 2024 Ministry Highlights

Prayer Partners:

Thank you for your steadfast support!

LGBTQ Evangelism:

The Lord periodically leads to visit rural LGBTQ contacts and reiterate the gospel.

This month, I motorbiked up to Varin, a farming village 2+ hours away.

Bunkroit is the village tailor, and his cousin Vira is a barber. Their moms always want to feed me and talk.

They understand my ministry and why I am there. Conversation naturally flows into the gospel of repentance and new life in Christ.

Seed planting takes time and patience. Please pray for salvation for this family.



“I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth.”  1 Corinthians 3:6

3 Saved:

In January, at least 3 people at Castaway Baptist prayed to repent and put their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Praise the Lord!

Illness Used as a Catalyst:

“O” (in below photo with thumbs up) is an American with Catholic roots who has been coming. One evening, he reached out for prayer and advice about an illness. The Lord led to walk him through the gospel message. He prayed to repent and put his faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

At the end of this brief life, he will be thankful for the illness that the Lord used to bring him to salvation. Praise God!



“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.”  Romans 8:28


Evangelism Training:

The Lord has led in steps. For years, we have been sharing the gospel in the village as a group. No problem for many.

Several months ago, the Lord led to send them out 2-by-2. That went well.

Therefore, I assumed everyone was standing for Christ in their schools and workplaces. A few were; many were not. That’s a problem.

First, the Lord led to preach the Great Commission (Matt 28:18-20Mark 16:15-16) – that the Lord REQUIRES EVERY BELIEVER to share the gospel.

Leading by example, I then encouraged by showing recent photos and telling stories of my experiences sharing the gospel.



Called to Suffer Rejection for the Name:

Most daunting in this collectivist “group” society is doing anything ALONE.

Two Sundays ago, the Lord led to call everyone to commit to share the gospel with at least one person on their own – to stand ALONE for Christ and endure ridicule or whatever comes, to suffer for Christ as He suffered to the point of death to save us.

The following Sunday, nearly everyone who promised to do it came back and shared testimony… They did it! Praise the Lord!

So we committed to share the gospel with at least two more people. Nearly all did it! Praise the Lord!

Older youth were encouraged to show bravery that the younger would strive to emulate.

Stepping Up – Jib:

At 15 years old, Jib stepped out to share the gospel with his Dad, Mom and Grandma.

It is much easier to call a stranger to repentance than immediate family. So this is significant. And he began to stand for Christ among his peers at school.

Jib has demonstrated a tremendous amount of Christian growth since he started studying God’s Word in 2019. Praise the Lord!



Stepping Up – Sak:

At 12 years old, Sak blew us away with a testimony of having shared the gospel with his “dyed in the wool” Buddhist grandpa. PRAISE THE LORD!

He had to stand on a chair to see over the pulpit, as shown in the below photo.



Stepping Up – Danoo:

At 11 years old, Danoo is a warrior for Christ. Outside of his school, he encountered an older boy acting like a girl.

Danoo told him God created male and female, not a third sex. He told him that for a boy to act like a girl is sin. He called the boy to repentance and faith (new life) in Christ.

For those who didn’t get that… An 11-year old boy did this… on his own.

We are so proud of our youth’s recent growth. PRAISE THE LORD!

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes…”  Romans 1:16


English Ministry:

Castaway Baptist launched an English Ministry several months ago for the primary purpose of evangelism. Secondary purpose is to provide a service to the faithful.

Teacher Vanchhai has done a great job with the kids. As you can see, they love him.



At the end of each session, he is required to either share the gospel message himself or ask a student volunteer to stand in front of the room and share with their peers.

Pictured Below: Danut (older brother of Danoo) often volunteers to share the gospel.



“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”  Joshua 1:9


The Brave Rewarded:

Those who promised to stand for Christ and kept their promise received an afternoon at a water park. Praise the Lord!

Top service award winners every month receive much-deserved items.

Rewards at Castaway Baptist must be earned. These guys have worked hard.
