Of what all that we can see it is a car bomb.<br /><br />The car continued out on the playground opposite our house. All its windows, the roof and the right side of the car is all blown out. Please pray for Bangkok.<br /><br />Update: We are all safe and the kids are now sleeping. The people on the street say that it was a bomb aimed at someone in the government. It seems like he miraculously survived, he was taken to the hospital. The first thing our daughter Jemima did was to pray that no one would die.

We are growing as a church. Something has happened to our team! Prayer, fasting and planning, God blesses that. Even though we have seen a few come to the Lord during our time here in Bangkok there has also been a struggle to gather the people. But now more and more discover the value of gathering together. Slowly but surely we are becoming more on the services.<br /><br />On our main service we had Pastor Sawaeng from Prachuab as our guest speaker. He has a special gift of encouraging and praying for people. Many of us was encouraged and served.<br /><br />This Sunday we also started serving coffee...Daniel and Paulina Brolinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02632846915338100557noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332060436103453219.post-78330221429375642622009-09-13T18:52:00.000-07:002009-09-13T19:02:55.585-07:00Beach party with baptism<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs277.snc1/10422_1230881495219_1324579609_653861_7993704_n.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs277.snc1/10422_1230881495219_1324579609_653861_7993704_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>What a weekend we have had! Amazing! This Saturday was our LifeCenter trip to the beach. We were playing in crystal clear water, playing volleyball on the white sand, enjoyed good food in the shadows of the trees.<br /><br />Everyone seemed to have a great time. 39 people had come with us. New friendships were formed and we believe this weekend will effect the rest of this year in a very positive way.<br /><br />The best part was the worship time. Simple worship, some testimonies and a message illustrated in the sand. All wrapped up with a baptism. Powerful day of celebrating Jesus and his church!<br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">You can see more pictures on LifeCenterBKK's page on Facebook.<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=103549&id=126277784787&l=b4952aa5e2">Click here.</a></span>Daniel and Paulina Brolinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02632846915338100557noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332060436103453219.post-78693227131421427702009-09-04T10:38:00.001-07:002009-09-04T10:59:27.241-07:00Toys for my boys<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyNPLbJVEkHUQGhj7ToI2NlDDmMqYWHzcCWoFELrMy3ZHD9x797B9ONOvgupV_RkHV6NxirVQz2hJ5-mOEmep2aDA7Dav7ChZr_icWQlGYVY2gd-mkfUKBde_v5fdVuDexElPtKHURF_i1/s1600-h/shopping.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyNPLbJVEkHUQGhj7ToI2NlDDmMqYWHzcCWoFELrMy3ZHD9x797B9ONOvgupV_RkHV6NxirVQz2hJ5-mOEmep2aDA7Dav7ChZr_icWQlGYVY2gd-mkfUKBde_v5fdVuDexElPtKHURF_i1/s200/shopping.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377668054130433970" border="0" /></a>Today we have been in some parts of this town that we have never been to before... We passed the weapon shops on our way to the Instrument shops. So far in LifeCenter Bangkok we have only used a guitar when we have come together to worship.<br /><br />Today we visited more than ten shops, playing, listening and comparing prices and different models. We had a lot of fun together with the boys of the band:<br />Chaart - worship leader and guitar<br />Pop - guitar, base, keyboards<br />Jean - keyboards<br />Boy - drums, base<br />Nut - guitar, base, drums<br />(What a boy band!)<br /><br />Music has such a power. Music creates atmosphere and life. Just think of what the right soundtrack can do to a movie. The Bible speaks quite a lot about music and intruments. Worship is a mighty weapon.<br /><br />We ended the day on Black Canyon Coffee with a long detailed list of instruments, prices and notes. We want to honour God with our music, then the instruments are important. (We need a base guitar, two amplifiers, one keyboard and a drum set. We have already some money to buy this, but not enough. Totally we need around THB 90 000 ( SEK 20 000, US 2 700). This Sunday we do a special collection for this in LifeCenter. Please let us know if you want to be a part of this but can´t come.

Our friends Wangchuk and Tam made the important decision to be baptised. Jesus is teaching us that "Whoever believes and is baptised will be saved..." When someone starts to believe in Jesus there is a party in Heaven. The Father rejoices over every person that comes to Him. In the baptism we confirm our faith, enter a covenant with God and bury our old life to start living for God and His purposes for our lives.<br /><a href="http://twitpic.com/d9sep">(You can find another picture on this link)</a>Daniel and Paulina Brolinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02632846915338100557noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332060436103453219.post-46699748663156996742009-08-07T09:46:00.000-07:002009-08-10T10:12:14.736-07:00Bringing friends to the Isaan-village<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZWeMVOH5qCuZtlTaPu0MPS3qn1Y-ftgLax0At_Xb5jnlmP2lbdHPF4w8wssjDBb-GllC3KuIP7bcx76tasm_XhLi5ANbe-WkFXqTjpZl10D66L-u0cHStMx_C_q2lsceXT2HsNNITJNGD/s1600-h/village.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZWeMVOH5qCuZtlTaPu0MPS3qn1Y-ftgLax0At_Xb5jnlmP2lbdHPF4w8wssjDBb-GllC3KuIP7bcx76tasm_XhLi5ANbe-WkFXqTjpZl10D66L-u0cHStMx_C_q2lsceXT2HsNNITJNGD/s200/village.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368377520824959922" border="0" /></a>A few days ago we welcomed our friends Inga, Sven and Mathilda from our church in Sweden as they visit us and Thailand for some days. We are so happy that they are here. They love people and to tell other about Jesus. Yesterday we went to visit a village in Isaan part of Thailand. We have been a few times to this village and so far seven people has been baptised. Our hosting family took Inga and Sven to their hearts as they encouraged them in their faith. Our dear friend Jean interpreted.

Have a great day!Daniel and Paulina Brolinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02632846915338100557noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332060436103453219.post-88516528295825902722009-05-10T19:43:00.000-07:002009-05-10T20:30:30.657-07:00Freedom weekend<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxmGv-u7mqpf6SVyKLwvLH-W7BSPfzcfdgfMvIhLgcxtJ76TYsFvXp4W4HzaNtMImg5zXvNIsftjCVmuIi8TcWXD6JIB_E44TH9S2DI2jfVVXemUAzfl0SSNbeRIU910zy92Jz_hNxYzSj/s1600-h/bibelstore.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxmGv-u7mqpf6SVyKLwvLH-W7BSPfzcfdgfMvIhLgcxtJ76TYsFvXp4W4HzaNtMImg5zXvNIsftjCVmuIi8TcWXD6JIB_E44TH9S2DI2jfVVXemUAzfl0SSNbeRIU910zy92Jz_hNxYzSj/s200/bibelstore.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334394156359349298" border="0" /></a>Every day counts! This week some of our new friends asked us if we could do something over the long weekend (this Friday was a red day). So we decided to hold an encounter, a "Freedom weekend" as we call it in LifeCenter. So on Friday morning we started and what a weekend we had! Totally seven people people have been with us. We have had a lot of fun and food and we have been teaching the Word and praying together. This is such a great way to get to know one another and at the same time help these precious people find the liberating life principles in the Bible. (The picture above is from the bookshop when they got their own Bibles.)<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_8dfuhdwKyH9Nd-fqsEE6nfiMRvcFnKcoyOVoAXGb9TXI_Nng5w4SY2UT8Tep8rSIQnVSsDVbzMcWgA7ruHCi0PUnyAowlPDR7cHb8mFj8uF9Elzvk9PLUzUvx7NzjCBHZA_K5irDtFe4/s1600-h/Jaisamarn.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_8dfuhdwKyH9Nd-fqsEE6nfiMRvcFnKcoyOVoAXGb9TXI_Nng5w4SY2UT8Tep8rSIQnVSsDVbzMcWgA7ruHCi0PUnyAowlPDR7cHb8mFj8uF9Elzvk9PLUzUvx7NzjCBHZA_K5irDtFe4/s200/Jaisamarn.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334401445248048946" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnO0BpljaGlVhiyABWvL5EGz9jS685ljjBeJdgNIvyCNOKR7xgJgavj4jlZrayW2e50_x3Nk1zP0-7zjkk3VsaFLVSGm4a7mjXGcLKPHSkXYIXOm1xrk92GY9TQNyhtZJqIGBuuWLVI7RD/s1600-h/royalties.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 218px; height: 160px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnO0BpljaGlVhiyABWvL5EGz9jS685ljjBeJdgNIvyCNOKR7xgJgavj4jlZrayW2e50_x3Nk1zP0-7zjkk3VsaFLVSGm4a7mjXGcLKPHSkXYIXOm1xrk92GY9TQNyhtZJqIGBuuWLVI7RD/s200/royalties.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334402104075208370" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />On Sunday we went together to the Jaisamarn Church at Ramkhamhaeng Soi 68. This is the first Thai church that we visited when we came to Bangkok in 2007. When we, for the first time, saw hundreds of Thai worship Jesus, we had tears in our eyes. This time we had the honor to share the Word. We were treated like royalties but had to leave directly after the service. We had to press through the traffic jam to our own LifeCenter service at one oclock. So far there has been new people every Sunday and we feel like we have got a family of youth in Bangkok.

Together with our two Thai friends we called over a hundred people. It took a few hours than we moved to the "Red Mango" and continued a few more.<br /><br />Today we took the family to the Dynasty Hotel for our second Sunday service. Our kids were so happy for some of their friends would come. They prepared some things for the kids to do during service. They helped out with the flowers and the fruits that we had bought. Then our dearest Jasmine tripped, dropped a glass and fell with her elbow on it. Just a few minutes before the service Paulina had to take her to the hospital. Jasmine was so brave and endured the pain. She got eight stitches.<br /><br />As soon as Jasmine were finished at the hospital she wanted to go back to church. They came back just before we were about to go down to the pool and have a baptism. One girl got saved tonight. Two girls and a boy got baptized. Every heart is so precious in God´s eyes.<br /><br />We weren´t that many today but everyone was in a good mood eventhough we missed the teams that have been here and given so much joy and excitement. We, however, are very happy as we can see who seems to be able to be in the real core group.

These last two weeks 98 people have decided to give their hearts to Jesus.<br /><br />Last night we packed the room and had a great Jesus party. And when we did the altar call people flooded to the front. As we have been praying for the start of HiGH LiFE and the GOD LOVES BANGKOK festival we have been praying for 50 new people. Now we have almost the double and another 50 or so have given us their contact information because they want to know more about the life with Jesus.<br /><br />We thank God for the LifeCenter team and the MissionSOS/MCM team that has been serving, sharing and showing God´s love to the people of Bangkok. Today the MissionSOS/MCM team is leaving. Thank you guys for coming! You have made an eternal impact!<br /><br />As we believed for a supernatural harvest, we now believe for a supernatural way of taking care of all these precious people.

During the day we were out on the campus area inviting people for the HiGH LiFE-event. And the evening was full of creative ways of breaking down barriers and presenting the message about Jesus. There was a lot of laughter, especially when part of the team played air band to a popular radio hit here in Thai (see picture).<br /><br />They also performed a great and hilarious drama called "Give Your Heart to God" before the sermon.

Early in the morning we took a minibus and headed for Ko Samet. For some of our Thai friends it was their first time ever on the beach. It was so fun for all of us. The kids loved it and we had a great team building experience. Just relaxing after a hard working week in the heat and the beat of Bangkok.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPqRhdjNIjlbZKh9up-2Qwgf0zSUFxcBdZWPk05vwAkP85CSOFxnheAlAy0lU-3ZZdP-S0sI0v81TCjNqGSEBWVnrtZFf7oM5dNv5xlkqSxSSo3t5aOdD7YVCQO5yckAtiFcxhhxlvE46S/s1600-h/first+sunday.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPqRhdjNIjlbZKh9up-2Qwgf0zSUFxcBdZWPk05vwAkP85CSOFxnheAlAy0lU-3ZZdP-S0sI0v81TCjNqGSEBWVnrtZFf7oM5dNv5xlkqSxSSo3t5aOdD7YVCQO5yckAtiFcxhhxlvE46S/s200/first+sunday.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329205952714185458" border="0" /></a>Then on Sunday we had a good service with some of our new brothers and sisters in the Lord.

So far we have just had LifeGroups... but now we have started with our gatherings!<br /><br />The LifeCenter team has been on the Ramkhamhaeng Campus the last three days handing out invitations and doing evangelism. What would be the result? Would anyone come to the event? The band that was supposed to play cancelled a few days before and we had just a guitar. Still we had the verse "Be still and know that I am God" ringing in our head. (Jasmine brought it home on a piece of paper in the afternoon.)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCgZeB55ioE4ZbpDtGhbw-qMDWnhBA87HEalArT6555M3d1wG9aONWR1cid-wJYYxU_ZJS98cKYAUAHFf9FGvwUupMhYV7ZRcplScj1_gJJ7z72Sfp6eQEF4VTqOF_UDhXZekO59F_mwi1/s1600-h/before.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCgZeB55ioE4ZbpDtGhbw-qMDWnhBA87HEalArT6555M3d1wG9aONWR1cid-wJYYxU_ZJS98cKYAUAHFf9FGvwUupMhYV7ZRcplScj1_gJJ7z72Sfp6eQEF4VTqOF_UDhXZekO59F_mwi1/s200/before.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328093720269599298" border="0" /></a>The LifeCenter team had taken up postions to help people find their way to the "Upper Room". 6 pm when the event was supposed to start just a handfull of students had come. We tried to serve them some snacks while we were waiting but the atmosphere was rather tensed.

No fun games... just the simple message of God´s love. And that´s all we need. As we preached the atmosphere got easier and easier. Then we handed over the microphone to our Thai friend, Maem, and she shared her powerful story how God changed her life. After that Josef sang another song and then we did the invitation for those who wanted to be saved.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYaziV8lz5ZBFKOCUyFvZk-tuTcIob-Wk0lUZeQhy_7xteMvr-Rz9lCKX1UN04GK7mjfsKDCOLh9uzXiKEtEslgmesm-2V0bVgmcJS6UrnZSeAa2Ew6ecnfvYdihhquaKE_hHbYfA-pM9h/s1600-h/consolidation1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYaziV8lz5ZBFKOCUyFvZk-tuTcIob-Wk0lUZeQhy_7xteMvr-Rz9lCKX1UN04GK7mjfsKDCOLh9uzXiKEtEslgmesm-2V0bVgmcJS6UrnZSeAa2Ew6ecnfvYdihhquaKE_hHbYfA-pM9h/s200/consolidation1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328093489416685746" border="0" /></a>The evening ended with a joyful chaos in the "Consolidation room" where we followed up those who wanted to be saved and those that wanted to know more. 25 people made the decision to give their lives to Jesus for the first time!

Another handful of people wanted to know more.<br /><br />People that we met for the first time and people we have been praying for during nine months went home shining with joy carrying their new Bibles under their arms.

It was a taxi driver that had given us a ride the other day. He just called to say that he now had read the New Testament we gave him and that he had a new telephone number. He has read the whole book in just a week. When we gave it to him, he said that he always wanted to read the Bible but had never seen one in his entire life. He also said he wanted to come to our church to get to know Jesus more.<br /><br />The people of this city are hungry for God and his word. The harvest is ripe. We pray to God for more workers. Tonight 14 heroes from LifeCenter in Västerås is coming. They are going to work hard for a week. Pray for them.<br /><br />A few days ago Paulina gave a NT to a begger at the Skytrain station. Suddenly a man approached her and asked if it was a Bible Paulina had given the begger and if she knew how he could get hold of more. He had been looking for some and had not yet found any. People are desperate for the message of God and his love.

Instead of the partying and water fights of Song Kran (the Thai New Year), there was demonstrations and riots. Last Saturday we happened to be in the middle of the red shirts marching from one site to the other. A bit scary. But otherwise our part of town has been calmer than usual. Now however things have calmed down. Thank you for praying.<br /><br />These days we have had the privilege of having our pastors from our hometown Västerås here with us, Per-Johan and Ulrica Stenstrand. Today we are going to show them one of our favorite places here: Ramkhamhaeng University.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyhO_HKexh9QmBfx1J94FnEyMNQnW3Q77rsU5s8ozLGGVACWSyesbuu_V_wnOuNqhZCoIPdcAP6LVv4AF-Iyrrd8exzx7M6ygetWaehOmw6_Im9fWHkxnIqV8MYzm9bq5XAZV-14tOQdpL/s1600-h/Ram+Uni+Canteen.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyhO_HKexh9QmBfx1J94FnEyMNQnW3Q77rsU5s8ozLGGVACWSyesbuu_V_wnOuNqhZCoIPdcAP6LVv4AF-Iyrrd8exzx7M6ygetWaehOmw6_Im9fWHkxnIqV8MYzm9bq5XAZV-14tOQdpL/s200/Ram+Uni+Canteen.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325477686667375314" border="0" /></a>On Monday our team from LifeCenter Västerås arrives. They will work with the "GOD LOVES BANGKOK"-festival and start up our HiGH LiFE events on Thursday. We believe it will be the starting point for weekly events to present Jesus and God´s lifegiving principles for the students in that area. Please remember us in your prayers the two coming weeks.<br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">HiGH LiFE events: 23rd, 28th & 30th.</span>Daniel and Paulina Brolinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02632846915338100557noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332060436103453219.post-17739915257778750252009-04-10T09:03:00.000-07:002009-04-10T09:16:32.325-07:00Pray for SengidojiA few days ago we got a beautiful gift from the minister of defence of Bhu*tan. We got a belt woven in nice colours - a gift the kings of Bhu*tan usually gives to those they want to show honour. This man is the father of "<a href="http://danielandpaulinabrolin.blogspot.com/2009/02/god-given-friend.html">Our God given friend</a>". This young man was to be baptised on Easter Sunday but now he has to return immideately to Bhu*tan because his father has been in a terrible car accident. The three other men in the car didn't survive.<br /><br />Sengidoji is now in respirator and we want to encourage you to pray for him. God hears prayers. We believe God has great plans for this man and his nation. Pray also for this new believer, our dear brother, Wangchuk, who now travels to be close to his dad. Pray for Sengidoji's healing and that also Wangchuk would be able to share about the forgiveness of sins and God's love in Jesus with his father.Daniel and Paulina Brolinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02632846915338100557noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332060436103453219.post-60925211919338718682009-03-18T22:57:00.000-07:002009-03-18T23:24:06.383-07:00The Upper Room<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMQFbxdG4HXDT33skddmTZb1G2FsOc-yubw8o4m1XnrrxbTbXv5Bf8c9HSGQTmwtHpgVHyNVWIBCUT_EDu7XDaVKHbkk8IgaYvplLahjEiIEuvmHNGvmUWnZzC0g7sSz6S_xNjk4BToAd3/s1600-h/Dynasty1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 142px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMQFbxdG4HXDT33skddmTZb1G2FsOc-yubw8o4m1XnrrxbTbXv5Bf8c9HSGQTmwtHpgVHyNVWIBCUT_EDu7XDaVKHbkk8IgaYvplLahjEiIEuvmHNGvmUWnZzC0g7sSz6S_xNjk4BToAd3/s400/Dynasty1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314778971372839618" border="0" /></a>It´s time to set up LifeCenter Ramkhamhaeng Campus!<br />From the 22th of April we are renting this place, we call it "The Upper Room"... It´s on the 15th floor in the Dynasty Hotel, just opposite of Ramkhamhaeng University. (Soi 35, just behind Major Hollywood theaters). After a few weeks of praying and looking around for the best location yesterday we decided to take this step of faith. We sat down with the hotel manager and when we shared the message of Jesus and that we wanted to use the room for teaching Life principles from the Bible she said she wanted to join us.<br /><br />We asked if we could take some of our friends upstairs to pray in the room. One of the students who where not yet saved was with us as well. As soon as we started praying, our dear friends Jane and Jean lead her to the Lord. She prayed a prayer dedicating her life to the Lord. The church is not about a building or a room, it´s about people finding their purpose in life. So we can´t think of a better way to dedicate this room for Jesus and his church!<br /><br />Please pray with us concerning the rent and the outreach events we are planning the last two weeks of April. <a href="mailto:post@brolins.org">Contact us</a> if you want to be a part of this.Daniel and Paulina Brolinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02632846915338100557noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332060436103453219.post-61736950922117687372009-03-05T18:39:00.001-08:002009-03-05T18:47:18.906-08:00Life Group<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiByvAKICEgv3b-g0WiwWCiXhlWD_HE6z7CK_3LVWnp294EATVRhnr46QTAcCVxY2pySZDwf7_NG19vHZqvJEbvNdYabXLteJNuGkZqpI47yk4TlzG2vlKRPZPIHE49qqqA1HRrBX5BnQBu/s1600-h/Lifegroup.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiByvAKICEgv3b-g0WiwWCiXhlWD_HE6z7CK_3LVWnp294EATVRhnr46QTAcCVxY2pySZDwf7_NG19vHZqvJEbvNdYabXLteJNuGkZqpI47yk4TlzG2vlKRPZPIHE49qqqA1HRrBX5BnQBu/s200/Lifegroup.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309899091176692594" border="0" /></a>Life Groups is when we meet in homes, coffeehouses or wherever to encourage each other and share the victories and struggles of life. Most of the time we snack or eat on something, have a lot of fun, talk about Jesus and life and pray with one another. It´s a great time.<br /><br />This time just a few showed up, but every individual is so valuable in God´s eyes. Paulina shared about the life with Jesus. We are praying that we will have a baptism soon.<br /><br />Right now most of the students we have got to know at the university have their exams. Sometimes life feels like we are going through an exam as well. Then we just have to keep on doing what we know is right, then we can be sure of that we will come through to victory and success the way God sees it. Psalm 37 is great. This is 3rd and 4th verse:<div style="text-align: center;"><br /><div style="text-align: center; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">Trust in the LORD and do good;<br /> dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.<br />Delight yourself in the LORD<br /> and he will give you the desires of your heart.<br /></div></div>Daniel and Paulina Brolinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02632846915338100557noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332060436103453219.post-60688008388730333512009-02-19T19:11:00.000-08:002009-02-20T05:07:26.932-08:00A God Given FriendA few months ago we were on our way to do some errands and came fifteen minutes too early to the mall. To be effective we decided to walk over to the super market. On the way there both of us sensed that we should go back and see if there were anyone we could talk with. When we came back to the mall a well dressed young man stood there on his own. He didn't look like a Thai so we asked where he came from. He shared some of his life story, that he was from Bhu*tan and that he had worked here in Bangkok for the last three years. When he asked us, we told him that we are here to start LifeCenter International Church and immediately he said he would like to come some time. A year earlier some missionaries had given him a tract about Jesus on the skytrain.<br /><br />Since then we have met a just a few times but yesterday we had a wonderful time together in our living room. We prayed a prayer together where he received the forgiveness of sins and gave his life to Jesus. He is a talented and very humble man. He has already become a dear friend to us. Right now he is going through a tough time in his life. He has spent the last days on the hospital with his Thai father-in-law who has blood cancer. Please pray with us for him, his family and that the father-in-law would be healed in the name of Jesus. God hears prayers!Daniel and Paulina Brolinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02632846915338100557noreply@blogger.com1
