From the front lines of the Great Commission in Asia

In our last newsletter we told you of our new steps to reach out to a new group of guys called the B-boys. They're a dance group that our ministry team has used on occasion when we've done outreaches. Xtreme leaders have been visiting them weekly at the park where they practice their dance moves, and a couple of them now weekly come to Xtreme.




But today Sawang and I ask you to lift one in particular up to the Lord in prayer: his name is Tailor (pronounced Tyler) and I have never seen anyone so hungry both for fellowship and God before. Since Tailor connected with Xtreme at New Year's, we can't get rid of him! He comes to Xtreme, and Sunday morning services, International church, Sunday nights, although he doesn't speak english, as well as worship night on Thursdays, and any other meeting we have. Tailor just gave his heart to the Lord this past Sunday, and already people are talking about putting him in leadership. (This goes to show you how desperate we need more workers here). But our prayer is that God would help us to protect Tailor and properly disciple him in the things of the Lord so he can plug in but not get used for his many talents before he is spiritually ready to handle it.

We also want to say a special thanks to the teams from Lethbridge who came for the Women's Conference this month, and the Designed to Worship team who came from Edmonton; both teams ministered to us mightily!

During Designed to Worship's time in Sriracha, their Band, From Love to Forfeit, partnered with our Xtreme ministry in doing some major outreaches in several venues. The first was in a detention centre were over 250 youth were being held. We had concerts, both in Thai and in English and From Love to Forfeit team members gave their personal testimonies. When they offered the salvation message, I didn't see one person who didn't lift their hand to receive Jesus as their Savior, and we gave out New Testament bibles as well as tracts and booklets about Christianity to everyone, with our phone number on it. These were donated by some people from our Thai church, who also came with us.


Our second outreach was at a skate ministry in Pattaya called "The Crossing" and the Canadian team really bonded with the Xtreme youth during this night and were tremendous witnesses as they shared their passion for Jesus Christ. Most of the Xtreme guys are either not saved yet, or very new Christians, and the FLTF band greatly encouraged them to be completely sold out for God.

Our third outreach was at the local park where we had a comedy act, as well as the Xtreme bands and the FLTF band. This was a great experience as well, but the last one, just yesterday was outside of Robinson's Mall in the centre of town. After a 2-hour delay because of technical difficulties, the band played to a great crowd who were silenced when testimonies of salvation and the love of God were given by the FLTF band. It was yet another opportunity for our young people to witness the sold-out passion of this wonderful youth band from Canada, as well as a great way for more youth in the city to connect with Xtreme.

So even though February was CRAZY busy with conferences and meetings, we really sense each team deposited some great things into our ministry here in Thailand, and we are so excited to see what God does from here.

Together in Christ,

Sawang and Lee-Anne

What’s happening in 2011

We’ve blasted full speed ahead into a new year and we’re excited about everything God has put on our hearts to do. We thank God for the things He’s done in 2010, especially as we’ve begun seeing breakthrough in both the Continuum media Sawang and I are involved in, as well as Xtreme, the youth ministry we’ve been heading up since March.
In 2011 we’re pouring out our lives to fulfill God’s Great Commission command to make disciples of all nations: in Xtreme we are raising leaders who are beginning to really get it, and are putting their hand to the plow and make disciples themselves.
One people group we’ve targeted is the “B- Boys,” a dance troupe who gather to do hip hop at the local park. We’re going there three times a week now, and hope to see them coming to Xtreme on a regular basis.
 
  Please pray that we will be able to disciple our team, and encourage them to keep reaching out to new people. Our goal is to get 70 people discipled and plugged in, with a solid ministry team to run things.

Together in Christ, Sawang and Lee-Anne

Be apart of our team!

A month of excitement is launching us into new areas of responsibility!

This month Sawang and I had the honor of traveling south to Goh Pangan, a breathtaking island off the coast of Thailand. We were filming a unique event there for Continuum TV: a young couple who were getting married, were inviting 800 people from the island to their wedding - where they would turn the event into an evangelistic crusade and preach
the gospel!
We were excited to share this event with them, and even though we didn’t get to see the island and had to sleep in tents on the ground, it was still an amazing trip, as many heard about Jesus
for the first time!
Continuum on new network
Our missions TV show, Continuum TV, is beginning to air
on 3 networks this year, and a fourth has contacted us about having Continuum on their network as well. We now air in Canada on Miracle Channel, in USA on Legacy TV, on Vision Heaven in Europe, and the new network airs in California. Please pray God gives us wisdom and creativity for our new season in Continuum as we declare the Works of God all across Asia! Please stand in faith with us also,
for more laborers for Continuum, and that on each network, Continuum TV would be a revenue-producing show and we would see much-needed finances coming into the ministry. We believe God has called us to this ministry and to help produce Continuum and we ask you to stand in prayer with us.
Continuum Breakthrough
Sawang and I have never really asked for much prayer regarding Continuum; I think some people don’t really understand why the show is significant in God’s Great Commission plan, but this TV show, website, and magazine, have been
connecting believers to their destiny for the last 7 years. Now, in our 8th year, we are praying that Continuum would expand into new territory, new homes, a greater audience to watch the show and discover or rediscover what God is challenging each of us as believers to do - be involved in Matthew 28:18’s command, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel...”

Your financial gift goes a long way on the mission field! Please prayerfully consider partnering monthly with us as we share Jesus in Asia

EVENTS REACH HUNDREDS, CONNECTING THEM TO CHRIST

What began as a desire in the hearts of some of the young leaders of our Victory churches in Sriracha has become a full-fledged evangelistic ministry.
Young leaders from Sriracha International Victory Church, One Way Victory, and Sriracha Thai church are working together to present the gospel to youth citiwide in a way that is both unorthodox and extremely entertaining.
A recent Battle of the Bands outreach started as a way to advertise the ministry and let people know Xtreme had something to offer. Fifteen bands registered for the Battle, hoping to snag that B3000 prize ($100), and hundreds came to watch the show.
VBCI students and Xtreme staff worked together to present dramas and dance during band changes, while Xtreme leader Doo Wichaipa and International church Pastor Matt Watson preached powerful evangelistic messages. With the success of the Battle under their belt, Xtreme leaders put a major production into motion, calling it Hell House. Using western ideas as inspiration, Xtreme's Hell House exploited a growing Asian interest in Halloween. More than 30 actors, preachers, costume designers and make-up artists had only three weeks preparation before October 31st.
As Hell House opened its doors, over a hundred people walked in to see the dead in hideous garb. Later, Tour Guides explained the dead were not physically dead, but spiritually dead, and were all headed for hell. The goal was not to spook, but to allow the fear of the Lord to fall
on the audience, that they would identify with the scenes and see their need for a Saviour.

Twenty-four people came forward to surrender their lives to Jesus Christ, and Xtreme members are following up to keep those people connected to the ministry.
Future outreaches include Christmas, New Year's, and a concert in the park in February.
