Almost 14 years ago, Pam* (name changed) joined my English class at the student centre in Nakhonsawan with two friends from her dorm. They had just finished exams and were waiting for college placements, so they came regularly — even joining one of our evangelistic events. I was thrilled when all three showed genuine interest in learning about the gospel.
Over the next few months, we met for Bible studies and prayed together. The girls often shared how God was answering their prayers, though they still wrestled with fears — especially about how their families might respond if they became Christians. They began attending church, but as time passed, I noticed P pulling away. When she entered nursing college, she gradually drifted out of touch.
Through the years, I kept in contact with the group and was overjoyed when the other two girls came to faith in university. Pam, however, remained distant. She became a nurse, I moved away, and we only heard about each other through friends.
Then, not long ago, Pam reached out to me. To my delight, she told me she had recently accepted Christ. After a difficult season in life, she found herself searching for hope — and remembered the God she had once come so close to trusting. She reached out to one of her old friends, now a mature believer, and prayed to put her faith in Christ.
Pam shared how she has since experienced deep peace and joy — the kind she had never found in success, comfort, or relationships. She even rediscovered a Christian book I had given her years ago and began reading it again. God led her to a small church where she’s now growing in her faith and seeing her prayers answered in beautiful ways.
Hearing her story filled me with gratitude. Often, we don’t know what becomes of the people we meet or how God continues to work in their lives long after we part ways. P’s journey is a powerful reminder that God never stops pursuing hearts — He is always at work, quietly and faithfully, in ways we may not see.

God is at work in Thailand. There are many more like P — people who have heard the gospel but are still searching for truth and hope. Would you pray for Thailand, for more workers to go into the harvest field, and for hearts to be ready to respond? Perhaps God is calling you to be part of His story here.
