Dear friends, please pray for Thailand. Some of you may have heard of the political unrest within the factions of the Thai government that has affected Bangkok for the past 6-7 months. As of today, in Bangkok it has reached a point that the military has taken over the government (Read this article for more information). This doesn't greatly affect us in Chiang Mai, as of yet at least. My roommate said that the last time this happened, there were soldiers everywhere and you could get pulled over for anything and everything but life continued (mostly) as before.
Please stop right now and pray for the Thai government, the King, and the people of Thailand as this new change takes place throughout the country. Pray that the factions of government that are in disagreement would be able to compromise and peace would reign throughout the country. Please pray that God would use all those ministering throughout Thailand to show the Thai people how His peace can reign in their hearts, no matter the circumstances they are facing.
