Chris' talks for Thailand

My desire is to equip the Lahu women to reach out to their neighbours with the Gospel.

In my first talk I want the women to get a better picture of who Jesus is. Jesus loves these women just the way they are and wants them to be a world changer.

In the second talk I want to show them how to rely upon the power of the Holy Spirit. We can not see God use us in a mighty way if we insist on relying on our own power. I want them to understand the concept of "spiritual breathing": exhaling by confessing our sins and inhaling by asking the Holy Spirit to control us again.

In the third talk I want to show practical ways of reaching out with the Gospel in both actions and words. I will ask women to share about the practical needs they see in their community and what they think they can do to meet these needs.

In the fourth session I want them to see how to use a bi-lingual Gospel tract. I will have two people role-model this in front of the whole group. We will also practise four questions you can ask after any event:

  1. What did you think of the event?
  2. Did it make sense to you?
  3. Have you ever asked Jesus to come into your life?
  4. Would you like to?

In my last talk I want to hear the vision the women have caught. Yes, I will be sharing my vision for Women's ministry, but the most important thing is what this group says.

I would appreciate your prayers. There may be as many as 4,000 people there and I have never spoken to such a large group.
