God Always Has a Plan

BY JULIA O’CAREY

Saeng (pronounced “sang” as in “sang a song”) looked around his new big classroom in California, eyes wide with fear. His head pounded as he listened to the students and the teacher chatting around him, not understanding a word! This brave eleven-year-old boy in the fourth grade had just arrived from a refugee camp in Thailand. Words such as DIFFICULT, FRUSTRATING, BEWILDERING, FEARFUL, and NEW, could be used to describe those first couple years in America, but they fall terribly short in adequately summing up the experience.

When Saeng turned thirteen, Ko Saelee, a Hmong-Thai pastor moved into the refugee apartment complex he lived in.

Later on, Ko married Terri West, who joined him in ministry.

Saeng immediately noticed something different about these energetic young people. They smiled, warmly welcomed him into their home, and asked, “Do you want to study and learn more English after school in our tutoring center?” On Friday evenings, Saeng observed a different program. They used the Bible as their textbook and sang songs about Jesus. Because of the genuine LOVE Saeng experienced from them, he kept coming. They even picked him up from his home to come to church when he moved to a different part of the city. For the first time in his life, he came in touch with a love that reached down to the depths of his heart, a love that started to heal the trauma that comes from fleeing one’s country and living as a refugee, a love from his new friend Jesus.

One day, Saeng pulled Pastor Ko aside and said, “I think God wants me to be a pastor like you!” Saeng felt a clear call and urgent burden to share Jesus with the thousands of Laotian Buddhists around him (at that time, there were no Laotian Seventh-day Adventist pastors serving in the United States).

Pastor Ko took him seriously and prepared Saeng for Bible studies. Saeng’s baptism was the happiest day of his life!

God did have a plan for Saeng. After his baptism, the Lord helped the Saelees find a sponsor to send Saeng to Weimar Academy. His new faith blossomed in the rich spiritual environment of the school. On graduation day, he smiled outwardly, but a war raged in his mind. God’s call to become a pastor remained crystal clear over the four years at Weimar.

He wanted more than ever to return to that beautiful place and continue working toward his dream, but he also knew that was against his parents’ will. They strongly urged him, “Study medicine or law, Saeng. You need to make a decent living. We are counting on you to provide for us! How could you even consider not accepting the scholarships offered you? It’s crazy to go back to that Christian school where you are indebted to people!” He wanted to honor his parents, but could not bear to think of disappointing his Heavenly Father.

The day came. With fortitude, he approached his parents with the news that he had decided to continue studying to be a pastor at Weimar College. After threats and several attempts at persuading him to change his course, they disowned him.

His mom’s words cut Saeng’s heart like a knife. “I regret the day of your birth. Leave now and never come back! I am no longer your mother.” Realizing that he may never get to see his parents again, Saeng packed his bags sorrowfully. Before he left, however, he felt impressed to go back to thank his mother for all that she had done as his mother for the past eighteen years. It was at that moment that she threw her arms around him with such feeling and began to convulse and vomit. Saeng noticed her medicine bottles spread across the bed and he

remembered her words of a few days earlier, “I would rather die than live to see you bringing shame to the family.” He rushed her to the hospital where she remained for a week. He had saved her life. The family forbade him to see her. However, he prayed each day for them. God worked hard on his parents’ hearts. He made many attempts to contact them and in about three months, they accepted him back. His mother had softened. “Saeng, you can come home. We miss you.” Saeng knew that God had worked a miracle! He longed for the day they would turn from Buddhism to Christianity. He knew that day would come, and eventually it did! His mom, dad, and sister all got baptized in the same baptismal tank where he had given his life to Jesus ten years before!

Saeng made solid Christian friends at school where he found his beautiful, mission-minded wife Mileicy. On the weekends, he spent time church planting among the Lao people in a city one-and-a-half hours away. God was working out His perfect ministry plan in Saeng’s life. The Lord called Saeng

to the Andrews University Theological Seminary. He spent his weekends church planting among his own Lao people in Holland, Michigan. After seminary, he returned to California to serve the Lao people there but because of lack of funding, he decided to move back to Michigan and continue church planting in Holland as a “tent-maker”. The Lord worked through Pastor Saeng’s leadership and others to grow a thriving Seventh-day Adventist Lao ministry called Lao Adventist Mission Projects, which includes DVD evangelism, the first digital Lao Old Testament Bible, and a growing church group of over sixty.

Pastor Saeng recently accepted God’s call to serve as ASAP’s Associate Director. With his background in church planting and love for missions and spreading the Gospel, we think he is just the one God chose. Please pray for him as he transitions to full-time ministry and for his precious family, wife Mileicy and children Danien (8), Milen (6), and Beya (4).

SHARE THIS STORY

Small but Powerful

BY BRENDA KIŠ

In a closed country, more than 1,100 groups of believers are worshipping God each Sabbath! Last year over 500 people were baptized. And these believers are active and alert for every opportunity to share their faith: on holidays when the government isn’t so harsh, through a growing cell phone ministry conducted especially by young people, at weddings and funerals and wherever people are gathered together.

Let me tell you the story of one young woman making a powerful impact by God’s grace.

Suong Nguyen*, a very diligent worker, is quiet by nature and very observant. Working in a province violently opposed to Christianity, the Lord used her to raise up a body of thirteen believers, all of whom love to witness. As her members hand out materials to Sunday keepers, she watches for signs of interest and often quickly begins talking about Revelation 12–14, from which chapters she leads her listeners to Sabbath keeping and other SDA beliefs. She loves going door to door and sharing DVDs even though this activity is illegal. Because of the Holy Spirit, she finds success.

Suong was raised in a family with a mother who first became a believer and then led her husband, a brilliant but uneducated man, to Christ. He was a respected communist to whom local authorities often came for advice.

But the villagers knew of his conversion and pressured the authorities to stop his work. In the meantime, Suong discovered a Bible in her bed one night and began reading out of curiosity. That night she, too, became a believer, and when a Seventh-day Adventist taught the family about the Sabbath, they all finally came under conviction.

Life was challenging for them because the authorities, who really liked Suong’s father, were reluctant to give him up to Christianity. Eventually he passed away, and then family pressures influenced the mother and her daughters to build an ancestral altar in her father’s honor to please the uncles.

But Suong was not at ease with the arrangement and at last the little family of women rose up and burned the altar and everything associated with it. When the uncles came to visit, they were enraged and continued to pressure them to

rebuild the altar. Within six months, both uncles died and so did the police chief’s assistant who had given the family so much trouble. From then on, the persecution slowed down.

Tiny Suong amazes people with her boldness and knowledge. She knows the prophecies and can explain what the Sunday pastors avoid talking about. A few months ago a shaman practicing witchcraft came to her village to sell herbal medicine. There he met Suong and became interested in what she had to say. He has started Bible studies and remains receptive. Even when admitted to the hospital, he has continued the studies. A strong spiritual battle is waging and sometime he feels as if his head will explode, but Suong’s prayers have overcome these terrible headaches and spiritual struggles.

After more deaths occurred among those who have opposed Suong and her work, the villagers now warn each other: “Don’t touch Suong’s family!” May God continue His great work through this little woman. Pray that God will help ASAP workers in closed countries to continue spreading the Gospel no matter what the opposition. Pray also that the Holy Spirit will make you bold and willing to share your faith no matter what your age or size.

Pray that God will help ASAP workers in closed countries to continue spreading the Gospel no matter what the opposition.

PROJECT UPDATE

Make God First

BY ELLAINNA HART

Karen Adventist Academy (KAA) is a K–12 school located in the Mae Ra Moo Refugee Camp on the border of Thailand and Myanmar. After fleeing Myanmar, many families live in this camp waiting to be resettled. KAA was founded to provide these displaced, refugee children with a quality Christian education. “Make God First” is their motto and it is lived out every day by the teachers and the students at KAA. As a result of their week of prayer, fourteen students chose to be baptized. One student named Saw Lah Say had been raised as a Buddhist. After one year of attending KAA, he made his decision to follow the Christian God. However, he fell ill and was unable to be baptized at the time. Finally, this last year, he couldn’t wait any longer. He didn’t care if he was sick; he was going to be baptized! On January 21, 2017, Saw Lah Say, was baptized alongside his friends.

Even though these students have lost everything, they still have a heart to give back. They participate in different community service programs. This year the boys helped with repairs to a nearby road, and the girls cleaned up rubbish along the road as well as near the hospital and church grounds. Many of the students also volunteered for a blood drive to aid the local hospital. Then when KAA needed a new building, the students pitched in to help with the construction as well!

In the words of Gold Ringnaloait, a teacher at KAA, this is a school “that teaches the Bible and practices it. More than that, it encourages every student to become a better person

Help new believers in Asia say NO to false gods And YES to the Living God, Jesus Christ!

Sponsor one to learn how to disciple others — $200

and a responsible citizen…. Thank you for supporting our school…. Pray that one day we all may sing praises to God at His feet in the New Jerusalem!”

You can support Karen Adventist Academy by sponsoring one of the teachers or giving a general gift for operations. It costs about $15,000 a year to run the school.

EXCITING EVANGELISM

Myanmar Convention and More

BY PASTOR LISA ISENSEE

The second North American Division Myanmar Convention was held at North Star Camp, MN, over Labor Day weekend.

It was a beautiful, colorful event with smiling, joyful Christians, many of them in the traditional dress of their various tribes. The leaders spoke, planned, and prayed for God’s wisdom on how to not only reach their own ethnic groups but also other groups within a two-hour radius from each of their churches. Sabbath morning I sat down with three Zomi men from Bowling Green, Kentucky.

The Head Elder of the newly-organized Zomi company shared how they started a Sabbath School in their own language as a small group of five people in the fall of 2014.

They soon realized they needed someone to guide their group. “We decided to just pray. We wouldn’t spend time looking around.” They knew God could impress the person that needed to be there. Pastor Mangpi, a former pastor in Myanmar, started a Sushi business in Miami to provide for his family. But they began to feel that they needed to go where there were manufacturing businesses that could better provide for their eventual retirement. Pastor Mangpi, his wife, and his brother began praying “God, please tell us where we have to go.” For six months they prayed and today he is the full-time pastor of the Zomi church in Bowling Green that also prayed! They are praising the Lord for their 95 members and multiple Bible studies.

again until Sunday. “I have learned a lesson from Israel. God took them from Egypt to Canaan and God fed them with manna. God did not give them manna on Saturday and yet they had enough. One of the blessings for us is that in all the time we have had the restaurant open—in these two years— I’ve never gotten sick. That is a big blessing from God!” Thanglek has a good job at a manufacturing plant. He is also the youth leader of the Bowling Green Zomi SDA group. He is not scheduled to work on Sabbath, but from time to time he is told that he must come in. At that point he works his hardest to get a replacement, but sometimes it is impossible. The company told him he would be fired once he accumulated 8 points because of absence. Thankglek shared with a chuckle, “It’s been more than 10 times that I have not come in on Sabbath. I have more than 20 points, but by the grace of God I have not been fired…YET.” Some of these families live far from the closest Myanmar Christians of any denomination. Their time of fellowship at the convention was noticeably sweet. Please consider how you could help a local refugee or immigrant group with your prayers, your presence and talents, or your financial gifts to sponsor a local ethnic church planter…or the next Myanmar convention!

It can be tempting as a refugee to compromise the Sabbath.

They often work at lower-income jobs and perhaps only one person is providing for a family of 4 or 5 children as well as aging parents or in-laws. The head elder of the church, Kimpu, along with his wife Lam Nu recently opened a restaurant, “Yangon Bistro,” in Bowling Green. Kimpu shared that each Friday at 4:00 p.m. he closes the restaurant and does not open

HELPING HANDS

A New Role with ASAP

BY PASTOR LISA ISENSEE

God knows what He’s doing! Sometimes we’re a little confused or surprised at what He may ask us to do or where He may lead us, but really, He always knows best!

When I was 17 years old, God loudly called me into pastoral ministry. I headed to Andrews University with great uncertainty about that calling, and yet I also knew God and trusted Him. But I do remember a few conversations with God from that time period as I asked, “Lord, please, can’t I do overseas mission work?” That’s what my heart really wanted to do.

When I was 21 and serving in my first pastorate (Worthington, OH), I realized what God knew all along: I would love pastoral ministry. I saw how God had been preparing me for it ever since I was a little girl following my pastor-dad around. Neither of us knew at the time that God was using my dad to mentor me for ministry. Helping to plant a church also shaped my love for God’s work. As in any church plant, there were plenty of opportunities for a teen to learn to better serve our Jesus.

The years since then have been full and good. Most importantly, my dear husband Richard and I have had the privilege during these years of raising and homeschooling our five wonderful children: Anthony (17), Katherine (15), Elizabeth (11), Victoria (8), and Benjamin (4). We believe that raising our children for God is our highest calling and true lifework.

However, I’ve also been blessed to work in youth ministry for other children, direct youth camps in North and South Dakota, plant a church, and help support (as Wisconsin Conference Church Planting Coordinator) many, many more church plants.

Recently I had the opportunity to begin working with ASAP Ministries as Ambassador Director. It struck me that this

ministry, too, was a result of God’s preparation. I believe with all my being that when our members in North America are excited about and supporting overseas missions, that joy will be mirrored in our North American churches by greater spirituality and evangelistic effectiveness. I’ve seen it happen.

So, I look forward to help strengthen the work in Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and elsewhere. But I also look forward to seeing the North American church grow among refugees, immigrants, and the American-born!

Our Lord is so gracious and He gives us such good gifts. He starts with salvation but continues throughout our lives with gifts of family and ministry and a deeper love for Him. And then He sometimes surprises us with our heart’s earliest desires. So today I’m thanking Him for the privilege of working both in the U.S. and in missions for our brothers and sisters in other parts of the world!

‘‘

I want Jesus to come soon. Together let’s work to reach the whole world ASAP.

REACH THE WORLD NEXT DOOR

Daily Miracles

BY SCOTT GRISWOLD

Many miracles are needed when starting a missionary training center by faith. We praise the Lord for the daily miracles we witnessed thus far. First, the miracle of God’s love for the unreached at ASAP Ministries and the Texas Conference. After that God led us to purchase 26 acres on the edge of Houston, the fifth largest metro area in the U.S. and home to many unreached people groups. Then God blessed with the miraculous pulling together of a multinational training staff with experience among Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, and Native Americans.

Next, as we rushed to overhaul the seven aging buildings, God sent help. Jim Christensen, who found the property, stayed on to help work and members from churches where we gave outreach training volunteered their time at work bees to get the property ready.

We needed at least ten confirmed students, but we were almost to August and only five had signed up. We prayed for young people willing to commit to nine months of mission in a new and untested place and program—and God provided five more!

New students meant we had to quickly extend the men’s dorm.

To do that we needed fill dirt. The same morning we realized that, Bill, a friend from the Conroe Church, arrived to grade our driveway, but found he would need to bring in rock first. He asked, “Is there something else I could do?” We told him our need and learned he had a dump truck—and extra dirt on his nearby property. Before the day was up the site was ready to build on. Then as we rushed to be ready and Hurricane Harvey approached, God sent Pastor Saeng, ASAP’s new Associate Director, and Scott S., both with needed building skills, to help for several weeks.

Then when our funds were growing thin, on the last night of ASI, a man came up to Julia and pledged $10,000 more that enabled us to get desks, bed sheets, and other necessities. For the students’ side, though $7,000 is quite low for nine months of training tuition, many were still not sure they could cover it. The staff began to earnestly pray, and God laid it on the heart of another donor to extend $15,000 in matching funds.

Immediately we sent out an appeal and within three days, the match was complete with over $17,000 more given or pledged.

When Hurricane Harvey arrived, rain came in torrents and both Houston airports closed. We postponed the start of classes for a week, and as each student—four from Myanmar (Burma), two from Taiwan, one from Burundi and three American-born— arrived at the beginning of September, we witnessed another miracle. Each had a story of how God had led them to come.

As we met together, we all had one thing on our minds. How could we help in the aftermath of the hurricane? A phone call later, we were in a Cambodian agricultural community that had been hit hard by flooding. The community leaders first put our group to work going door-to-door surveying the needs of the community. The information we collected allowed them to prioritize medical and evacuation needs.

The next day we got up early again and returned to help, first hauling donations in the morning, then cutting out ruined drywall and soggy insulation in the afternoon. At the last house, the worst of all, Rachel, one of our students from Taiwan, took a special interest in the 70-year-old owner, who then opened up to her about his personal tragedies. We found out that we had already met him and ministered to his stressed-out wife the day before! As our time at his house came to a close, I gave him two beautiful Cambodian Christian books, and he hugged them tight to his chest as we prayed together.

This last one was the miracle we‘d been praying for most. A property, a team, finances, and students are necessary, but what we really want is unreached people transformed by the love of Jesus.

Please pray for more of those miracles.

MEET OUR WORKERS

STEPHEN THID*

BY BRENDA KIŠ

Stephen Thid* has been working as a church planter in a new unreached area for only two years but he already has three groups planted with a total of over 30 believers meeting in different villages. He compares his work to that of a doctor in the intensive care unit, available whenever there is a need, even at night. As the only worker in his area, Pastor Thid works solo, but he receives visits from the district pastor about six times a year. He counts on the ASAP training he gets twice a year as well as departmental training from the Laos mission (LAF). More than that, he counts on the work of the Holy Spirit as he visits people, sells health books, does rehab work on paralyzed individuals, and shares God’s love with distant contacts through his phone and Facebook.

Most of Pastor Thid’s converts are new Christians, still learning what it means to be a believer. Many are farmers who are busy in their fields. Finding time for regular Bible study is a challenge for them, so in addition to having regular Bible study on Sabbaths, Pastor Thid invites those who can come to spend a week in his home for intensive studies.

One of his Bible study contacts was a young woman who was miserably married to a wife-beating drug addict. Finally, her parents advised her to divorce him. Shortly afterwards, she delivered a baby boy. But something was wrong! Her baby cried every night all night long. The neighbors told her to take her baby to Pastor Thid who prayed for him. The nightly crying stopped and as a result of this miracle, the young mother began studies and was baptized in May 2017. Now she brings her two sisters to worship each Sabbath.

Praise God for His mighty work through Pastor Thid!

If you would like to sponsor Stephen Thid or another worker, contact ASAP today! (269) 471-3026 10

PROVIDE CAMBODIANS WITH A CHURCH

HELP WORKERS SHARE THE GOSPEL

that Glorifies God

through Evangelism Meetings

We may not be able to change the hostile climate in which many missionaries have to work but we can support them through our funding and prayers. There is a great opportunity to spread the gospel among many in closed countries through satellite evangelism. To do this, gospel workers need help with computers, LCD projectors and evangelistic materials.

$2,700 (NEEDED FOR FIVE AREAS)

The Beng church meets in a very old wooden church building that needs annual major repairs to be functional.

The church is flooded chest-deep each year making repairs impractical. The best solution to the flooding problem is to demolish the wooden church, develop flood-proof landfill and build a new church.

$30,000 NEEDED (ANY AMOUNT IS APPRECIATED).

GO ONLINE TO VIEW MORE PROJECTS

FEED THE SPIRITUALLY HUNGRY

through DVDs

The most common prayer request from missionaries in closed countries is: MORE DVDs! These simple evangelistic tools have a powerful impact! Come alongside courageous missionaries who could get fined or put in prison, but who are willing to risk everything to distribute these DVDs.

$1 (FOUR DVDS) $45 (DVD PLAYER AND SERMON SET)

SHOW COMPASSION with Critters Help ASAP meet its 2017 goal to provide 300 chickens, 50 goats, and 15 cows to poor believers among the hill tribes of Vietnam who have been persecuted by the government and fellow villagers because of their faith. This boost will not only lift the heavy yoke of poverty, but help grow the church.
