Testimony from a Widow

When I was at the Palong village in July 2008, we had a church service. The women, men and children were gathered to sing songs of praise and worship.

After the sharing, the people of Palong were given a chance to share their testimony and following is a testimony from a lady.


**************

Testimony No. 1

When I was in Doi Angkhan, my husband passed away. Pastor Somboon asked me to come over to this village to stay. Initially I hesitated but in the end I agree because the whole village consist of Christians.

Being a widow, its almost impossible to find a husband. Infact its a taboo. But miraculously God provided a bachelor for me as a husband and we have 3 children since I arrived in this village. I have 3 from my previous marriage. My current husband is a very good husband.

I have had dreams of Angel. God is so gracious that he answers every small little request I make.


Testimony No. 2


Since we do not have Identification Cards, we are not allowed work but my children has been granted, so he went out looking for jobs. Unfortunately, his bicycle was without brakes and he fell into a stream and broke his bone and teeth.

God brought a Pastor to the village at that particular time, and he brought us to the hospital.

When he was admitted to the hospital, the Doctor said that his wrist is broken and has to be admitted into the hospital. Oh no! I cannot stay because in 2 days time, I have to go to the court. The government of Thailand is prosecuting me because I chopped down a tree.

So I prayed.

The next day, the Doctor returned to check again and said that we can leave and return in 10 days. Praise God! So, I managed to go to court.

The other miracle was, the American Pastor paid the hospital expenses for us. We had no money at all! God sent the Pastor here at the right moment. So now, I pray for this American Pastor all the time, everyday.

I was so grateful to both God and the servant of God.
