Bangkok Flooding and Blessing Home Graduates Answer the Call to Ministry

Bangkok Flooding

There has been terrible floods in Bangkok and other provinces in Thailand and this has had horrible impact on the poorest of the poor, who live in the lowest lying places where flooding hits the hardest. The poorest of the poor usually have no furniture and no shelving, so there is no way for them to lift their belongings up high above the flood waters. They have lost everything to the filthy sewage flood water, their bed mats, their clothes, the bags of rice and other foodstuffs. They have had to huddle in whatever place they can find that is dry.

Blessing Home Minburi in Bangkok had to shut down for 2 weeks because of the flooding. The church and Blessing Home center was not flooded, but the homes of the Blessing Home kids were flooded and they could not make it to the center. Now the floods have subsided, and it is time for people to help those in need. We have sent extra funding to Pastor Wassana, director of Blessing Home Minburi, to help people to get food, blankets, sleeping mats, and clothing. We thank everyone for your faithful giving that allows us to have emergency funds on hand to respond quickly to crises like these.

Blessing Home Isan Graduates Answer the Call to Ministry

Blessing Home Isan Teens and Graduates have been working with Pastor Corn to plant Pioneer Pastor churches in three locations: Ban Rat, Satakhian, and Sukpaiboon. Three of the Blessing Home graduates have been vital in this church planting effort and now the Lord has called them to train for ministry.

Pastor Corn, Director of Blessing Home Isan and Pastor of Grace Church in Nonsomboon contacted us to recommend Kaimook, Red, and Oum to receive seminary scholarships. Once again, we want to thank you for your faithful giving, that has made it possible for us to have funds on hand to give them an immediate and enthusiastic answer of "YES!". Kaimook, the young woman in the picture below, will be entering studies in the Bachelor of Ministry degree program.

Red, the Thai young man in the picture above, and his fiancé Oum, have begun studies in the Master of Divinity degree program.

Matthew 9:37-38
“The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.”

Please pray for many other to answer the call to ministry to plant Pioneer Pastor churches, so that every county in Thailand will have at least one thriving church, because EVERYBODY NEEDS JESUS!!!

This past Sunday, my father, Mike Morrissey Sr., passed away. For the past few years, each time we have travelled to serve overseas, I have been concerned that I may not see my Dad again. My Dad's health has been in deep decline, and he has had to be admitted to the hospital frequently. My Dad has taken a few falls in the last few weeks, but this past one on Saturday was real bad. He had a brain bleed that did severe damage. Although I am grieving, I praise the Lord that I was in the States at the time to be with him right up until the end. Even though I grieve, I praise the Lord that my father is not suffering with the pain that he had been bearing for the past few years.

I looked in past blogs, and I found this picture from 2014 when my Dad visited us in Thailand. In this picture, he is praying blessings on a new Pioneer Pastor Church Plant with Pastors Jennifer, Peter, Apple, Nuch, and a lay member of God is Good Church in Chonburi. Back then, Dad was strong and robust in body and spirit.

The other blessing that Sherri and I have is that we have a great support system. We have been humbled by the showering of words of sympathy and prayers of comfort. God is good and so are His people!

Dad was a faithful supporter of the Blessing Home Centers, which save and protect children and teens from the child sex and drug trades. When he first started supporting this ministry, we had one center with ten children. Now we have expanded to five centers and provide services to over 150 children.

A Blessing Home scholarship costs $600 annually, and helps provide school uniforms, food, transportation to school, afterschool classes, Bible clubs, and medical and dental care to give these kids a different trajectory in life, a new life of hope built upon Jesus.

If you, or your Sunday School class, or small group would like to support a Blessing Home child, you can designate your donation.

If you are sending a check, put BLESSING HOME in the memo section of the check and mail to: Thailand NOW, P.O. Box 56, Mannsville, KY 42758

If you are giving online, you can select BLESSING HOME has your designation. You can give online through our website >> https://thailandnow.org/donate-2/

Thank you for your faithful prayers and generous donations that make this mission possible.

Blessings in Christ,

Mike Morrissey Jr.

Meet two of our Blessing Home University and College Graduates

It is a great victory when our Blessing Home move on to go to University or Technical College, and it is an absolute life changing event for the whole family when they graduate and move on to their careers.

You all have been very faithful and generous in your support, and we hope you are blessed reading the stories of these two graduates.

Pleng Pleng is the daughter of Pastors Sila and Wassana, who lead the Thailand Wesley Church Organization (a Thai independent Wesleyan denomination). Her mother Wassana is the Director of Blessing Home Minburi, located in Bangkok.

Pleng Pleng has always been a indispensable worker at Blessing Home Minburi, teaching English to the children and teens (English proficiency is a valuable skill, since it is the language of international commerce). Pleng Pleng also serves at Prasiri Wesley Church as Worship Team Leader and leads in ministry to children and teens at her church.

Pleng Pleng has now graduated at Assumption University in Bangkok with a B.A. in Marketing. And she is now working at Far East Broadcasting Company (FEBC), a Christian ministry that provides local Christian radio and media broadcasting in 50 countries in over 152 languages.

We are very proud of Pleng Pleng, whose work with FEBC is helping to bring the gospel of Jesus to Thai people. Pleng Pleng has to spend 4 hours per day going to work and back home on public transportation, so her work days are quite long.

Our second graduate is Kai Mook, who is a graduate of Blessing Home Isan. Kai Mook and her older sister Yok (also a Blessing Home Isan graduate) are fervent workers and leaders at Blessing Home Isan and Grace Methodist Church in Nonsomboon.

Kai Mook and Yok are Sunday School teachers for the children at Grace Methodist Church. They also serve on the Worship Team. Kai Mook is a key leader in the Church Multiplication team being led by Pastor Corn, who is the Director of Blessing Home Isan. This Church Multiplication team is planting Pioneer Pastor Churches in three unreached counties in their region. We are amazed at the fruitfulness of Kai Mook's ministry. She is an effective evangelist and disciple-maker!

Kai Mook earned her Associates Degree in Business Computer Applications and now works at a Christian company in the city of Nakhon Ratchasima that makes signs. And she travels home on the weekends so she can serve with Grace Methodist Church and Blessing Home Isan.

We praise the Lord for both Pleng Pleng and Kai Mook. They have been blessed greatly and now they are a great blessing to the Thai people. God is good!
