I want to share you about story of my life. My name is Sirikampon Prasan-ngam nickname Jaew, I have nine siblings, I was the seventh. I married and have 2 daughters. My eldest daughter's name Siripapah Prasertsang (Bee), She married, The youngest daughter's name Siriyada Jaipen (Bua), You have known her. My marriage failed. Because my husband he Buck and abused me, I’m try to have patience to live with him but I can’t, Then I has divorced him when my two daughters was grade 5&6. After divorced. I must go to work to earn money. The two children in the care of the father, I will return to visit my kids once a month. Then my husband had married again, Even he has a new wife. He tried to come back to me. He wants me to go back to live with him while he was still with another woman. It was too painful for me. I'm hurt and I want to forget the past. I think if I'd married again it's will help him to no mess with me, And I will forget him eventually.
I married again, my new husband he loved me. We have no children together, but he addicted alcohol. The most of money raised is to drink the alcohol. I have failed in married life again. The first marriage, I got the flirting husband. The second married, I got the alcoholism husband. I can not rely on My husband . I'd feel like I'm alone. When my kids in high school, My ex-husband died. I have to take care them alone. I have a suffering and despair life. I had a difficult life, suffering and despair. I stand alone to fight again, I tried running several businesses selling flowers and other agricultural sales to have money to support my children to finish a Bachelor degree, But income earned was not enough. I do business with my cousin, But he cheating me. I have to sell the house property and everything I have. To have money for the education of my kids and for my eldest daughter she have epileptic. Treatment of epileptic of my daughter requires a lot of money. Soon the money was running out. so my eldest daughter study must be stopped, and then she looking for a job. Bua, she study at university closer to home. It doesn't have to cost much. The government give her the loans to study. And my sister help her some. After Bua finish college and got a job. she work and send money to me for personal expenses, And the payment of debts. I am grateful to God for the life of Bua with gratitude to me.
Life in the faith of Jesus Christ. Due to the problems of life and family. I'm trying to find a solution and find answers to life. I seek refuge in mind. That will allow me to be free from suffering in life. I seeking many God in buddhist way that can help me. But it did not help me out of my misery. One day my cousin was talking about God to listen. So I went to my sister asked her to go to church with. I Open my mind and learn the story of God. And faith in Jesus Christ when 14 years ago, then brought my two daughters to know God. I am a first Christian in my village. The people in the village 100% is Buddhists. So after I became christian The people in the village did not like me. They said I gonna abolition the religion. I have to endure many persecutions. Even I got a lot of problem, But I alway go to the people and share to them about the Gospel. And the people in the village came to faith in Jesus Christ. I began to have a group of Christians. We went to the church that far from our village about 40 Kilometer. Before I became christian I Sold my land to one monk, He is a hight position of monk in the village. He cheated on my land he bought my land but not paid in full as agreed. Police, sheriff and judges are all followers of this monk. I was sentenced to lose the land 32 rai, even though I'm not mistaken. I'm tried to fight I'm not leave my land, But they said the land it belong to the monk already, Then they put me in the jail. I have no money to bail myself. The monk said If I turn back to believe and serve him, He will let me free. But I would not do it because I decided to follow Jesus and to serve the Lord Jesus. Thanks God that He saved me. 1 hour before they brought me to the prison. My nephew-in-law came to bail me. At first I though he will not help me, He did not like me because I believed in Jesus, But God used him to help me. If I have no God I would not have survived to this day. I believe this is God's grace. I love to go to the people and tell them about the love of God. I often visited the poor. People who are suffering. Disabled children. We start to have many believer almost of them is poor or old, We have a hard time to go to the church in the city because it far and cost a lot of money. We don't have enough money to spent for the travelling. And I can't offer them also. So we has an idia to start cell group in the house of one sister. After that brother Rit-anan he told me about he want to give his land to God for build the worship place, His mother she none christian, She has a dreamed of this land that a man came to her, And told her his name Jesus and pointed to the land and said I will stay there. And when the people saw that man they are shouting "Hosanna Hosanna"until the earth shaking. So brother Rit-anan want to give that land to God. Then we start to build a place of worship and name it Hosanna, Now we has a place to come to worship God together, Without having to travel far. Everybody can come to worship and pray. We began with the belief that we do not have funding. We have a heart for God and wanted to serve Him. We started with not much money to buy equipment to start construction of a place of worship. With only pillars and roof. But I believe that God will bless more & more. Please pray for us that we will have the pastor and the necessary thing for church, I don't have much about the Knowledge of theology, I just learn by holy spirit. And all of us here we have a heart to serve God
Finally, I thank you very much about your love your care to us. I apologize if what I wrote it too long. We will be in our prayers
love in Christ
