Ministry Explosion

Hello again everyone, we’ve had a busy month with several Xtreme outreaches & a new VBCI launch – exciting times!

We want to say a special thank you to all those who gave towards the Philippines trip, we’ve raised around $550 towards the trip. If you’d still like to sow towards this ministry please see our giving details below, as we are still a bit short of our total.
In October we launch a new season of Continuum TV on 5 networks, and Sawang will also be heading to India with Dr. Al and some others from our ministry team to encourage one of our bible school graduates in his new ministry.

We are also planning a city-wide outreach called, “Hell House” to attract the youth and tell them the gospel of Jesus Christ. This is a major undertaking and we’re taking over the entire ministry building to show different scenes of sin, heaven, hell, and the salvation of Jesus.

Walking by Faith

Season 8 of Continuum TV has come to an end, and with hardly a break, we are gearing up for Season 9 of Continuum, which will launch on October 1st, 2011. We're also launching a new interactive website to help you connect with us and with your own Great Commission destiny as you read articles, watch TV and receive daily doses of encouragement and vision from our ministry team here in Asia.

One of the first things on the agenda for Sawang & I this fall is our trip to the Philippines at the end of September. Sawang and I have always lived by faith for our finances and after my home church closed its doors in 2009, we have had to lean on our faith in God more than ever before, as well as on the generosity of countless friends and family who sow into our ministry through donations or monthly support.

During this Philippines trip, we will gather Great Commission reports for Continuum TV, and will also bring some of our Xtreme youth to one of the most thriving ministries in Asia, the Victory Fairview Church in Manila, for an international youth gathering. We believe this will be a major step forward for the youth and will help transform their thinking as they witness young people from across Asia worshipping God with abandon, and hear challenging messages from the pulpit.
This mission trip will cost approximately $1500 CDN for the team and we ask you to please pray and seek God about sowing financially into this event. Your generosity enables us to minister the good news of the gospel in Asia—not just for this event but you are sowing seed for the next generation of Christianity in Thailand. Your gift will make an eternal difference, so contact us today!






In the last two month we have been seeing an increase in the youth ministry. We have seen many youth give their life to the Lord and are exciting to know Him more. We also have been giving free music lesson and we also sees many youth come out for that too. We also see that the free music lesson have been very effective in bring the youth to our programs on friday night.
Also on our thursday night discipleship class been doing very well we seen more and more youth are coming out to it.

Prayer Needs: Please pray for some of our youth that are beginning to grasp hold of what it means to give their lives to Jesus Christ. Pray for Ex, Tailor, Aim, Em, Tum and Tun that we can disciple them properly, and pray for us leaders for wisdom in discipleship, as well as new ideas for more outreach.

Our day off at the beach

XTREME DISCIPLESHIP, INTERNATIONAL TRIPS AND MORE!

During my trip to the UK one of our partners donated an Andrew Wommack discipleship course, which we have decided to use for our Xtreme youth. As many of you know, most of our youth are either very new Christians or have not yet made a decision for Christ. We are currently in our third week of the course, which Sawang translates into Thai, and we have 4 guys coming steadily. Last week 2 more guys came but we’re not sure if they’re committed so we’ll see.

It’s a 16-week course, upon which we’ll have a great big party and give certificates of completion for each member. In September we’ll also be going to the Philippines first international Youth Conference and taking those guys who have completed the course and who aren’t in school at that time.

In Continuum news, we’ve just added LightSource as a new network that airs Continuum TV. This is a web network that includes Christianity Today, CrossWalk, God Tube and dozens of other Christian Web ministries, all of which will be advertising Continuum. We are really excited with this development, and are now praying for more support to cover the costs of airtime. LightSource is our 5th network that airs Continuum, and the first that will be actively promoting our ministry across Christian Social Networking. We’re believing God helps us break through and more people will connect with their Great Commission destiny as they tune in to Continuum TV.

We’ll be launching our new season of Continuum TV at the end of September and Sawang and I are being called on to go into more nations this year with Dr. Al and other missionaries. We’re hoping to go to India in November, Burma in the new year, and Pakistan as well as our Philippines trip in September which was mentioned above. There are so many things happening in the nations, and with 5 netwoks now airing Continuum, we are challenged to begin making a 52-episode season!


Many of our VBCI students from this past year have finished their studies and are launching new ministries across Asia, and we want to be as supportive and helpful as we can, which includes going and preaching in whatever capacity they need.
For the month of June, our Xtreme team is fasting and praying together once a week for Xtrreme, as well as each leader taking a day to fast and pray for the ministry. We’ve hit a wall, and are almost at 50 youth, but we sense God wanting to take youth deeper in Him, which is one reason why we started the discipleship course. But we also need wisdom from God on how we can expand the ministry and reach more youth.

This summer we’re doing a massive outreach with Xtreme into our city and beyond by going into schools with an exciting program geared to connect with new youth. Dramas, games and a short gospel message is on the agenda and we believe we have immense favor with schools around us because God wants us to advertise Xtreme here. But as God brings increase, He needs also to help us raise up leaders since we can’t lead all these youth on our own. We’re believing for 70 youth by the end of the year, so please pray for wisdom from God for our team.

In yet more Xtreme news, we’ve started some music classes and Sawang currently has 20 guys coming to
these classes. He needs more helpers so please pray with us that more leaders will rise up and help (if you feel led to come on a short-term mission to help with Xtreme please contact us!! WE NEED YOU!!)




Suddenly last week 10 girls showed up at Xtreme saying they wanted to start an all-girl band so we had some classes for them last Thursday, and 10 of them came. Unfortunately they didn’t come back to Xtreme on Friday but one of the conditions of giving free music lessons is that Xtreme attendance is mandatory. All of the guys we teach now come each week, and we’ll just keep pressing these new girls to come to Xtreme.

We’re also starting a two-month dance course (not Sawang and I, one of our leaders from Philippines who has committed to being part of our Xtreme team) for youth as well, with Xtreme attendance also being mandatory.
Once these conditions are given we’ve seen that the youth have no problem following through and we’re seeing our youth connecting one by one to Jesus as they come to Xtreme week after week.

In closing, we are always looking for new partners to help us finance trips and ministry outreaches.
Together in Christ, Sawang & Lee-Anne

Making Disciple

Two weeks ago the manager of the mall in our city gave us a called and asked us if we would preform on the stage as an open for a Thai pop star (Pang). One hour and a half on the stage are ours to fulfill. It's a miracle! Since the last concert we did at the mall the manager was quite upset at me.
We put together a worship band from our ministry and also a band from Xtreme youth. We been told that the crowd would be from 500 to 2000. That made the youth very excited. It's would be one of the biggest concert for them.

It was on sunday the 1st of may 2011 at noon the ministry band started playing some secular music and ended with worship songs and by the time our youth coming up the hall in the mall was pack to the back. They rock out to the max, enjoy their time as a rock star on the stage. Then by 3 o'clock the pop star came out and finish off with his concert.

We are working with the youth in Thailand, trying to reach them with the love of God. Disciple of Jesus Christ are needed to be made. We had many concert and let the youth play not to make a rock star out of them but to make a disciple of Jesus Christ. But we also want to see their gifting that God give them be used.

PRAYER REQUEST!

Hi friends & family, Sawang just wanted to send a praise report & ask you to continue in prayer for our guys in Xtreme.

This week is Music camp, and we sponsored 7 guys to go to it, several of them have just recently started coming to Xtreme, and during the camp, one of our regulars, Bon, told Sawang that three guys wanted to become Christians. So Sawang went to talk to them and they wanted more of Jesus but said their parents would never let them come to church, so he laid out some things about salvation foe them and said they can just keep coming to xtreme and other stuff we have and they can still grow in God until their parents let them come to church.

We are so excited to see these guys give their lives to the Lord, please pray for Tan, Beer, Em & Bon, the one who brought these guys to Sawang. He says he thinks he's a Christian so we just want God to really work on these guy's hearts as they turn to Him. Please pray for us too, that we can disciple them in wisdom.

Blessings, Sawang & Lee-Anne

Flooding in south & Youth Camp!

Major floods wash away plans for Xtreme youth camp but God has other ways of connecting!


Even though major flooding in Southern Thailand caused our “Transformed” youth camp to be cancelled, we instead took term break to connect with the youth in simpler ways. Now a pastor friend invited us and our youth to attend their youth camp for free, and we’ll be having a music training week as well! The youth are pumped and God is also stirring us to take new steps in the discipleship process. Please pray for us as we begin 3-month training courses with them, a crash course in Christianity and developing a servant’s heart 101. This will help us to give them responsibility in a safe environment, and provide new volunteers for evangelistic thrusts into the community!




This month on the 13th-14th is also Thai new year, People celebrate it by splashing water to each other. Our youth also take parts of it. We scramble any kind of bucket that we can find and gather in front of Xtreme. The water flight start with each other first until we are all soak and wet then we start splashing the vehicle and any living things that past by Xtreme center. The water flight last about 6 hours. Soon the sun is setting and we are all exhausted from being wet and cold. Finally it's ended for a day.
It's continue for 2 days for long hours but that it's for our Xtreme new year but other people still continue to splashing water and it will continue like this for another week.
