New beginnings

This is our city. This is our slogan. This is the first day of this year. This is our first blogpost in english (it might not be the best grammar or spelling... please send us corrections).

This is the view we woke up to this morning. Last night we found a "last minute deal" on a hotel downtown so we could get a good view of the fireworks and the celebrations. We actually managed to keep all our kids awake until midnight (four kids under the age of eight) and they all got up to enjoy a great hotel breakfast. What a great start of 2009!

We love this picture of Bangkok. It speaks of the new face and the new phase of missions among the unreached. (We´ll be back on that subject.) It speaks about the masses in Asia and its mega cities. It also speaks about a new season in this part of the world. A harvest season. The lovely Thai people is among the least reached people groups of the world. But there is something on the horizon. The power of darkness is losing its grip, "the sun of righteousness will rise".

Trust God for your best year ever. We do. We are expecting many people to come to the Lord this year in this city. We are expecting a church, LifeCenter Bangkok, to be born this year.
Please stay tuned, we need your prayers.

Hi Daniel and Paulina,
I am Ron Johnson's wife from Virginia, USA. He always speaks about you with such love, and I look forward to being able to meet you and your family someday. You are in our prayers that God will use you to change Thailand for His Kingdom's sake!
