My name is Nai Tingseavping, the second son of eight children in my family. After the war of 1979, my family lived with a lot of struggles. I live with my widowed and sick (with cancer) mother and all my brothers and sisters. Being the second oldest son I had to study and work to help my mother. I have known God through my friends since 1994 and then I was baptized in 1996 by Pastor Lim Pheng. First I did not really believe in God but after a few years being with God I went through a lot problems and then I realized that God never forsake me, even during tiny problems. I am sure that He has plans for His children if we place ourselves in His hands. I had been living a difficult life for a long time and never expected that I would have the opportunity to continue my education. I had a dream that some day I could sit and study in college and prayed that God would make my dream come true. I had helped a lot in the church to reach out to the small groups around town. One day the district pastor told me that if I could pass TOEFL (a test) I would be able to come and study in a college located in Thailand. I prayed and prayed. First time I failed but I was not hopeless. I continued to pray; hopefully He would answer my prayer some day. The second time I passed with an acceptable score. I was so happy and so was my mother. |
