Sad Turn of Events Stirs Us Into Action

Last week we decided to support another youth ministry we were once close with, in neighboring Pattaya.
Sawang & I and other Xtreme leaders took a bunch of our youth, many of them brand new Christians, to a skate ministry in the Sin City of Pattaya, to support them in a new relaunch of their once thriving ministry.
What we saw shocked and saddened us.
Many of the young leaders that were once on fire for God, had changed, and even as they attempted to reach out to their community, they smoked and got drunk along with everyone else.
Some years ago, the ministry had disconnected with us, who were their home church, because they felt they were strong enough to be an independent ministry. Our ministry team in Sriracha had done what we could to encourage the leaders there but they refused our council and accountability and
came out from under the protection of our apostolic ministry.
To say the least, Sawang and I were incredibly embarrassed to have brought our youth there, and tried our best to explain this was not acceptable Christian behavior.
Our prayer for them is that they would again come under leadership where they can be further trained and discipled.
But this has really stirred our hearts to make sure we are discipling the young people that are beginning to connect with Xtreme.
At our quarterly meeting with our overseers, we decided that each Xtreme Leader would pick at least one person to begin one-on-one discipleship. More than just on Friday nights, we will spend some serious time with those who are showing real hunger for more of God.

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Leading the “7 W eeks in Asia” team to this multi-cultural nation

This month Sawang & Lee-Anne led the Malaysia leg of the 7 Weeks in Asia trip. We brought nine young people to beautiful Kuala Lumpur, where for two weeks we evangelized to the lost and ministered to our Victory church members in this heavily oppressed nation. Three separate religions: Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism blind the minds of the precious people here. We came to help Victory Malaysia step out of their own comfort zone and do some major outreaches. On Saturday night we saw 15 young people come to the Lord through
our Youth Gig, and over a dozen people gave their hearts to the Lord during culture night and the Sunday night service. WHAT A BREAKTHROUGH!
The church in KL was also encouraged to rise up and be a light in this oppressed nation, to not be afraid to evangelize to their Hindu, Muslim, and Buddhist neighbors. The 7 Weeks team papered the community with fliers advertising the church and salvation through Jesus Christ, and were excited to share their testimonies of faith.


Although we were leading this team of young people to be a blessing to the Malaysian people, Sawang & I also ministered to and challenged team members during daily devotions.
Spirit and spoke in tongues for the first time!
It has been amazing to watch the team members grow and change, and rise up in their giftings as well. Most didn’t know they could preach or lead worship or pray
One team member realized she was not yet born again, and we led her in the salvation prayer. A few people needed healing and deliverance and we ministered to them by the Word of God and by the laying on of hands. One power, but the “7 Weeks” trip has been the vehicle to morning several of the girls got filled with the Holy connect them with the destiny God has for each of them.

ON THE MOVE IN ASIA...

This week we are welcoming the new “7 Weeks in Asia” missions team; youth who come from across North America and the UK to travel to three nations in Asia.We will be putting every step of it on our Continuum TV show and on the web, which means we will be working 24/7 to bring the weekly updates.
Sawang will be traveling with the team on most of the trips, and I’ll be going on one trip too, so we ask for your prayers during this time.

Sawang and I are currently looking after the El Shaddai 2 kids (15 of them) while their parents are fundraising in Canada! We are having a blast with them even though we will only be with them for 3 weeks. Please continue to pray for parents Dave & Terry Wharf as they fundraise, and also pray for them all as a family!

Some urgent things to pray for would be for Pastor Peter Jamshed and his ministry in Pakistan, which has been
under heavy pressure from Muslims to close their doors. An entire village where one of our Victory churches is located, was attacked this week by Muslim extremists. Log onto www.continuummedia.com/news next week for the full story.
We’d like to say thanks to those of you who have made donations in the past couple months, most of that money will be going towards the 7 Weeks in Asia trip. Your money will be spreading the gospel to Vietnam, Cambodia, and the jungle regions of Thailand, and God will reward the seed you have sowed!
We want to thank our partners who are helping us advance God’s kingdom in Asia! BUT WE ASK YOU TO PARTNER with us in reaching the world with the gospel. Please prayerfully consider financial partnership; we need your help! We are looking for people to partner with us $10, $20, $30, or whatever God wants you to give.

Who is My Neighbour?

Who is My Neighbour?

As I stepped onto the sidewalk, I noticed him. Lying there, lifeless, as passersby passed him by without a second look, he remained helpless. Sawang went right over to him to see if he was...alive, and discovered, yes, the man was just unconscious and reaked of whiskey.
Sawang phoned the police and we waited over an hour for someone to come and collect the man. Even though Sawang had not mentioned the man smelled of alcohol, that's what everyone who saw him figured, and refused to help us.
A police truck finally made it's way slowly up the road toward us, but took one look at the man on the side of the road and just kept on driving.
This reminds me of that famous account of the Good Samaritan in the bible.
“A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, who stripped him of his clothing, wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. Now by chance a certain priest came down that road. And when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. Likewise a Levite, when he arrived at the place, came and looked, and passed by on the other side. But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was. And when he saw him, he had compassion. So he went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; and he set him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I come again, I will repay you.’ So which of these three do you think was neighbor to him who fell among the thieves?” And he said, “He who showed mercy on him.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”
That man had been abused, and still stirred no compassion in others. This present day victim's wounds were self-inflicted, yet he, too, needs someone to reach out to him with compassion.

A Lifestyle
I believe this biblical account is not only an example of how we should be in general, but also of how God views missions. He moved on the heart of the Samaritan to minister to a foreigner, when his own people had no compassion for him.
The Good Samaritan is how God views missions. It is our responsibility and priviledge to minister to the lost who are not of our tribe, language, culture. Notice the Samaritan was in a foreign land himself, and saw his responsibility laid out before him. That is how I see my calling, and I want you too see your role in being a Good Samaritan, and partner with us to minister to those whose own people have forsaken them.
Together in Christ, Sawang & Lee-Anne Treetippitak

We are hearing all sorts of reports but the reality is simple:

Victory Xtreme is a youth outreach we launched last month, but have we stepped out too quickly? We need leaders, and fast! Please pray for us as we seek God’s will on how to serve the youth already coming on Friday nights.

Continuum is branching out and is now airing in stations across Canada and the US. We are believing for
men and women across nine nations in Asia!

MISSION: ASIAFebruary Report from the Front Lines

Children’s Day, VCA Conference, & More!
Sawang just got back from the Philippines; boy are things hopping out there! Him & his dad got some footage of the latest church plant, over 500 people showed up on the first Sunday! We’ll be airing the show on Continuum TV THIS WEEK so check it out on our site, www.continuummedia.com! (it’s not quite ready yet so if you go and it’s not there, just give us a couple days!)

We also had a massive outreach opportunity on Children’s Day, we were face painting and some of the El Shaddai I family gave their testimony of Jesus’ saving them and bringing them into the family! Great time to get our ministry known in the community.

This week Drs. George and Hazel Hill from Victory Churches International are here for a Victory Asia conference! Sawang & I are hosting four pastors from Pakistan in our home for this exciting time of refreshing and building up of all the churches in Asia.
Upcoming trips: Cambodia, Burma, and Pakistan in March. If you’d like to help with tickets, we can go with Dr. Al to encourage the saints in these precious nations.

We have a new girl who is handling finances in our ministry office, and there have been some mixups in donations. If you have begun partnering monthly, or given a one-time donation, please email us and we can verify with her. There are a couple people who have promised to give and we want to make sure those finances are going where you meant them to!
