Just a quick need for prayer and more to come later...

On Saturday I had a wonderful opportunity to spend time with Marissa
Oliver and to make a long story short we were exploring some tourists
sights and stumbled upon "Monk Chat" which featured question and
answer opportunities with Buddhist monks. To make a long story short,
we encountered a guy our age named Pee who had been studying Buddhism
and sat at our table while we were talking with a monk.
After listening and talking for a while (would never enter a temple
with the slightest motivation to exert my beliefs because I'm sure
many belligerent tourists like to argue with the monks who by nature
will not even enter into a discussion like that and will only wish you
luck on your own path), the monk made his final question evasion by
excusing himself to teach someone else, while Pee starts asking about
the origin of life and the spiritual world which he had found Buddhism
to have no answers for. It was pretty crazy, such a real, honest,
patient conversation about God's truth and not only that but with a
Thai man who had been studying Buddhism but was still so hungry, full
of questions and deeply searching for something more in his life.
I talked with him about prayer, why bad things happen if God is good,
what the Bible says about spirits, and many other questions he had
(God definitely helped my feeble knowledge) and Marissa gave him her
Bible with the Old Testament. He finally shared that he had tried to
pray to God, but he thought he had to pray in English and didn't
understand faith in Jesus.

He has no help from his parents, is trying to pay for school and
thinks he must sell his motorbike in order to do so. He told me on
Saturday that he wanted to pray to God, but asked, "Can God help me?"

Conclusion: I gave him my phone number (if you're weirded out don't
worry, there's no way he knows any other info about me) and since then
he has called me twice. He called today sounding very distressed and
said he was desperate for a miracle of God. I could only tell him that
I know God knows his circumstances and sees him and wants to show
himself even if I didn't know how he will answer his prayer. I shared
with him about having faith in Jesus and it was difficult talking
about it over the phone with a slight communication barrier. I am
going to try to meet him along with one of the guys I work with... and
he said he wants to next Saturday!


Please pray for Pee. This was a rare appointment and this man needs
and wants Jesus. Oh I want to see God do a miracle so badly for Pee!
(I know it's hard not to laugh at his name. That last sentence could
have been my plea for a prostate problem.)
I also need wisdom and words from God. I have never had someone ask me
for so much help and answers and I am incapable of doing what only God
can.

So thankful to be able to send this to you all and know you will pray!!
