I was moved when I heard about Nah. She is a Hmong girl that I met when I visited my Thai tutor's church, P'Than and P'Anh of The River of Life Church, Chiang Mai. I was told that her family had all been poisoned after eating wild mushrooms. She came home and found them dead.
Without hope, Nah did not know what to do. God opened up the way for her to meet Rachada, my tutor's mother-in-law, who then gave her shelter at their church. Since then, Nah came to personally know the Lord Christ as Savior, had been adopted into a new family [of faith], and played a vital part in serving them and the rest of the community well.
Not long ago, another tragedy struck. Her motorbike, the only prized possession that she has left, was stolen right outside her home! She heard them break the lock on her motorbike and rushed away with it. You can only imagine the devastation she felt. Fortunately, the Lord always shines His marvelous light on these dark situations. In this event, the church and a few friends came together and showered her with love by encouraging her, praying for her, and reassuring her of God's omnipresence and sovereignty. Sure enough, in a matter of weeks, she received enough to obtain another motorbike and had doubly been blessed with those that knew would stick up for her through thick and thin.
Deuteronomy 31:8
The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.
