She Was Healed of Leprosy!

remember, i mentioned that we met with this thai woman named Wan Pen who is a seamstress here and is making thai clothes for julie and me? well, we went today for our final fitting. the outfits are beautiful. the fabrics are gorgeous. more importantly, the woman behind the sewing machine is amazing! today for the first time, i heard her story. we asked her how she learned how to sew so well. we heard that it was from a leprosy hospital. that's what mindy told us. i didn't really get what she meant by that. so we asked mindy more... come to find out, Wan Pen had leprosy when she was much younger. she was sent to a leprosy hospital in Nan and heard about the Lord in the hospital. she was witnessed to there. she decided to believe in Jesus as her savior in the hospital and told the Lord that if He healed her she would commit her life to Him forever. well, God healed her!! can you imagine that she is a lady with leprosy who has been healed like someone in the Bible! this is too cool for me to hear. this is the same lady who is sewing me my special thai outfit. now i have such a ministry to share when i wear it. i will also have a constant reminder to always pray for this woman and her continued faith in God. Anyway, she learned how to sew in the hospital and when she got out and was healed she started the cell group i mentioned to you in bangedi in her home. because of her, all of those kids go to solid rock. through her, God has led other people to Christ in this area. like Dr. Tom's sermon, God does use what seem like bad things for His greater purpose and glory! use this woman as an example.

do you understand how i am totally constantly amazed here? it's just never ending with stories of people's lives that are so amazing and hearing how God uses anything for anyone to be saved.
