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.

       My problems still came with me. I did not have a penny for my trip to Thailand, not even to apply for my passport. God planned for this too. One of my friends said she would help me with my passport including my visa to college. I was so grateful that God prepared this next step in my life. I came to Mission College in 2006. Satan does not want God's children to have a good education so he tries to find any way to interrupt God's plan. I got only 75% of my scholarship. Therefore I have to work and study to pay for my 25% college fee. No matter how hard I work I cannot find enough to pay for my college fee because it is too much for me. What I can do is to pray to God again to find another way out. I know that God has a lot of children who can help me. My major is Education. I hope that I can help my country especially children to know God. I am praying that God will help me to complete my degree and go back to help my church family and my family too..

       I am writing this to appeal that if brothers and sisters, aunt and uncle in God's family, when you see my problem, you could find some way to help me through this struggle. I know God will not abandon me midway. I pray that God richly blesses all those trust Him.
