Dorothy Uhlig's Report from Thailand

Faithful to Christ

20 March 2007

Sometimes the Lord pulls back the curtain and we are privileged to see what He Is doing in the life of His children. Sunday 1 had that

privilege as I attended the Mong church at Development Village.

During the time for testimonies a little old granny came fonward and

said that her daughter and son-in-law had gone back to serve the demons, but she was following Christ and wanted nothing to do with
the demons. She asked if the Christians would help her build a little

house just big enough to sleep in. She would still eat with the family,
but be free to believe as she wanted.

One of the Christians asked me, "Do you have any old metal roofing

that she could use? She would be willing to pay for it out of what the

government gives her monthly for assistance (about $8.00)." "No, sorry, how about grass roofing? Is any available?" "No, there's none." The church Is looking into ways and means. My lesson that
morning was on the Three Men In the Fiery Furnace. It rather fit with the problem and was an
encouragement to the parents to teach the children and grandchildren about the Lord and for alt to be faithful in following Him.

Some Highlights of what God has done in the last few months:

Michigan came for the dedication of the Home, Dec. 2, 2006. This church provided the funds for the building and has supplied the needs of the boys since shortly after itwas opened in 2003.

The dedication was well attended by Thai

Christians and Mong parents and friends. After

the service a Mong dance was presented by the

Mong girls from the Chiangkam dorm and then a meal was served. The boys bid a fond farewell

Evangelistic Meeting '

All the churches around Chiangkam united together and sponsored an evangelistic meeting. It was
well planned and the local committee worked very hard. They asked to use the facilities here for overnight accommodations since many would be coTTiing from long distances. There were about 150 people staying here. They provided their own food and attended the night sessions. The report is that many believed and some were healed. The last night there were probably 2000 in attendance at
the vocational training school. I was sick for-about 10 days so Vv'as unable to attend. If there is good

follow up on the part of the churches there may be lasting fruit. Pray that the different churches will
follow up those in their area and lead them to faith in and a willinaness to follow the Lord.

Chao, Aaron and Tyler

Chao, my oldest foster son, has been sick for almost 2 months, first with severe recurrent sore throat and fever and then with leg pain, swelling and unable to walk. It was finally diagnosed as gout and proper treatment started. He is able to walk some, but has been told not to go back to work till after April 6th. Pray for his healing and for a new job. The children's school closed March 10th so Nicky, Natee and Chao have come for a 2 week visit. Their mother, Sa-ing was unable to come as she had to work. Summer school starts April 2nd so Chao and the children v/ill return to their home near Bangkok the last of the month. Chao is helping me with the computer while he is here. He has been reading the Bible a lot.

Aaron and Tyler, the two young men living with me and helping with the farm project of Michael
Phillips, are doing well. Aaron has learned quite a lot of Thai and is able to share Christ with

students and workers. Tyler is now helping John Goddard set up an internet site to sell handicraft that the girls at the Chiangkam dorm are making. Tyler and Aaron will be returning to the U.S. in early
June. Pray for them as they seek the Lord's guidance for future schooling and/or work.

Thank you for your prayers, encouragement and support. May the Lord bless each one.

Workers together with Christ,

eport from Thailand

Dear Friends,

November 2007

It is thrilling to see God working in the hearts and

lives of people. He uses different ones at different
times to touch lives and to show His love and

concern. Let me tell you a story that is not yet

finished

A man in Muslim country inherited his family

business. He was a communist and allowed no

religious practices in his home though

Mohammedism was taught in the schools. The

Thailand

oldest son was a spendthrift and addicted to drugs. There were 2 younger daughters. The father legally made his oldest daughter the one with the right of inheritance in order to provide for his wife and

daughters. Both girls finished college and Bakhti, the oldest, taught school for 3 years and cared for the mother while the younger went to college in Thailand to get a Master's
degree. While there the younger daughter heard of Christ and believed in Him. Then she

returned home and let her older sister go to Thailand to get a Master's degree in English.

While Bakhti was in Thailand, her father died and later her mother became very ill. The doctors said there was no hope. However, a Christian woman visited and asked to pray for the mother. The mother improved and was able to return home, though still has high blood pressure and kidney failure for which she has to have dialysis about once a month. She too is on the journey to faith in Christ though the cost is high and any meetings must
be in secret.

In the meantime Bakhti in Thailand was befriended by Christians who shared the gospel with her. During her 2"^^
year she taught in an English camp for students at the

Chiangkam high school where she met Carol Feigleson, a missionary working in a local orphanage. A friendship
developed. Bakhti applied to teach English in the Chiangkham high school and was accepted for the 2"^ term beginning the latter part of October. She finished her Master's program and Carol helped her move to Chiangkam.
Bakhti stayed with me before school opened. (Since the

school provided free housing she moved there a few days

after school opened.) Bakhti

her greatest desire is to know God. Pray for her and for me as we study God's Word together. May it become exceedingly precious to her as the Holy Spirit reveals Christ
to her in all His glory.
Even before I knew about Bakhti, I learned of a website that

seeks to reach Muslims. It presents the Christian teaching and compares with Islamic teaching in a non-threatening
way. Just after she came, a pastor in the States who knew

nothing of Bakhti, mentioned a missionary who was seeking to reach Muslims through radio and the printed
Bakhti and Dorothy word. I contacted him and gave the radio schedule to
Bakhti who phoned her mother and told her about it. The

mother was thrilled to have a chance to listen to Christian teaching. So the Lord is using one here and another there to touch the lives ofmembers of this family. Isn't it neat to watch Him work? You too can have a share in this ministry through your prayers for
the family and the different ones who have contact with them.
