(inquisitive music)
00:00:00.73\00:00:03.67
- Hello, and welcome
to Jesus for Asia now.
00:00:22.28\00:00:24.79
I'm Natalie Wood,
and today my husband John
00:00:24.79\00:00:26.79
is here with me in the studio.
00:00:26.79\00:00:28.46
Hi darling. - Hi sweetheart.
00:00:28.46\00:00:30.16
- I'm so glad we
can share this story
00:00:30.16\00:00:31.59
because it's
such a beautiful story
00:00:31.59\00:00:33.13
of what God can do. - Yes.
00:00:33.13\00:00:34.93
- How it can change lives from
00:00:34.93\00:00:36.53
pretty hopeless
actually. - [Jon] Yes.
00:00:36.53\00:00:40.07
- And, make them
beautiful. - Oh yeah.
00:00:40.07\00:00:42.20
It's a beautiful
story, really precious story,
00:00:42.20\00:00:44.31
and it gives me a
lot of encouragement.
00:00:44.31\00:00:46.51
You know, this
is why we do this.
00:00:46.51\00:00:48.18
If this was the
only story we ever had,
00:00:48.18\00:00:51.65
it would all be worth
while. - Right, right.
00:00:51.65\00:00:53.72
- Just to see the transformation
00:00:53.72\00:00:56.35
and the miracles that take place
00:00:56.35\00:00:58.05
in a young lady's life. - Right.
00:00:58.05\00:00:59.95
But before we get
to the young lady,
00:00:59.95\00:01:02.12
we want to talk
about how this story
00:01:02.12\00:01:03.99
came to pass,
but we have to start
00:01:03.99\00:01:06.16
a little while ago. - [Jon] Yes.
00:01:06.16\00:01:07.76
- So let's start
with Joshua Babor.
00:01:07.76\00:01:09.56
- Yup, Back in the
2000's, he was growing up
00:01:09.56\00:01:13.00
in the Pacific Northwest.
00:01:13.00\00:01:14.64
He was pretty
carefree which meant he
00:01:14.64\00:01:16.87
was kind of a party guy.
00:01:16.87\00:01:18.44
He didn't really
care much about life,
00:01:18.44\00:01:20.81
and you know he
was living for himself.
00:01:20.81\00:01:23.08
- Right, didn't
care about anyone else.
00:01:23.08\00:01:24.38
- Right, and somehow
God got a hold of him,
00:01:24.38\00:01:27.08
and he started to
realize that his life
00:01:27.08\00:01:29.42
could be so much
better, and so he started
00:01:29.42\00:01:32.22
to seek after
God, to follow God,
00:01:32.22\00:01:34.16
and before long he was baptized,
00:01:34.16\00:01:36.49
and then he
became a bible worker.
00:01:36.49\00:01:38.36
- Right, right, and
so God made a huge change
00:01:38.36\00:01:41.46
in his life. - Right.
00:01:41.46\00:01:42.73
- And his
testimony is also powerful.
00:01:42.73\00:01:44.53
- Yes, and he's
been on our show before.
00:01:44.53\00:01:46.07
- Right.
00:01:46.07\00:01:47.60
- So he was friends with
Brian and Jessica Atwell.
00:01:47.60\00:01:49.20
- Right, and
Brian and Jessica came
00:01:49.20\00:01:50.81
to 2012's Faith Camp
in the Pacific Northwest
00:01:50.81\00:01:54.28
because they were
coming to lead the prayer room.
00:01:54.28\00:01:56.91
- Right.
00:01:56.91\00:01:58.15
- And because of the
situation at Faith Camp,
00:01:58.15\00:02:00.92
people don't go
to their prayer room
00:02:00.92\00:02:02.62
during meetings- - Right.
00:02:02.62\00:02:04.12
- So they were able to
go to some of the meetings
00:02:04.12\00:02:05.69
and start hearing
some of the stories,
00:02:05.69\00:02:07.52
and then they saw
there I Want This City Show.
00:02:07.52\00:02:10.36
- Yes, and they
felt the conviction,
00:02:10.36\00:02:12.06
and called to move to Bangkok.
00:02:12.06\00:02:14.36
- Right. - And so
when they came home,
00:02:14.36\00:02:15.93
after faith camp Josh
is like 'Hey, how was it?'
00:02:15.93\00:02:18.40
and they were like
we are going to Bangkok.
00:02:18.40\00:02:20.87
And Josh is like,
'Okay, I'll go too."
00:02:20.87\00:02:23.51
haha
00:02:23.51\00:02:24.97
- Yeah, and he actually
ended up arriving in Bangkok
00:02:24.97\00:02:26.94
before they did.
00:02:26.94\00:02:28.04
- Yes
00:02:28.04\00:02:29.51
- So, Josh was a little
bit lonely. He realized that
00:02:29.51\00:02:31.35
he needed a companion and
so he started praying about
00:02:31.35\00:02:33.85
that, and he ended up
meeting a beautiful young lady
00:02:33.85\00:02:36.42
named Chidlada
00:02:36.42\00:02:37.79
- Yes
00:02:37.79\00:02:39.19
- And um, they ended up
getting married and they started
00:02:39.19\00:02:42.02
working together
in a slum in Bangkok.
00:02:42.02\00:02:45.03
- Yeah well they were
looking around of which church
00:02:45.03\00:02:46.90
they should go to and
there was a small church in the
00:02:46.90\00:02:49.63
slum and so they started
going to church there and they
00:02:49.63\00:02:52.47
felt comfortable, they went
out every afternoon, several
00:02:52.47\00:02:55.77
afternoon to visit the
neighborhood in the slum. It
00:02:55.77\00:02:59.67
just really felt connected. It
started leading them into more
00:02:59.67\00:03:02.94
ministry in the slums,
especially with the kids.
00:03:02.94\00:03:05.41
- Right, the children, the
children got a hold of their
00:03:05.41\00:03:08.38
hearts. So I think we have
a little video just showing
00:03:08.38\00:03:12.29
about that work.
00:03:12.29\00:03:13.59
- Yes
00:03:13.59\00:03:14.86
- Okay lets
watch that at this time
00:03:14.86\00:03:16.36
- [Josh] You know a lot
of these kids are getting
00:03:16.36\00:03:18.13
hit by their parents they're
getting yelled at by their
00:03:18.13\00:03:20.20
parents, and that's the
only interaction that they have.
00:03:20.20\00:03:22.06
And so, the one thing that
I try to focus on is making
00:03:22.06\00:03:25.00
sure that they know that
I love them and uh at first
00:03:25.00\00:03:29.17
when you when you tell
them that you love them they
00:03:29.17\00:03:32.44
push you away like they
they get really like put off by
00:03:32.44\00:03:35.18
it, you know. And uh the
one little girl in particular uh
00:03:35.18\00:03:38.81
at first she was running
from me and she didn't like it
00:03:38.81\00:03:42.08
and she would go and tell
my wife uh uh and hit me and
00:03:42.08\00:03:45.12
things like that but now
whenever she sees me she will
00:03:45.12\00:03:47.62
come up to me and she will
hug me and wants me to hold
00:03:47.62\00:03:49.69
her and uh she enjoys the
friendship that we have now.
00:03:49.69\00:03:54.66
People here are not as
open as you think they would be
00:03:56.13\00:03:59.30
uh for help uh a lot of
people here are very comfortable
00:03:59.30\00:04:03.81
on how they live uh you
know when we go to houses,
00:04:03.81\00:04:07.71
the first thought that
comes to my mind is how do
00:04:07.71\00:04:10.98
you live like this? You
know, how can you be comfortable
00:04:10.98\00:04:13.72
like this, but they are.
And everybody here is hurt, and
00:04:13.72\00:04:17.15
I mean physically, I mean
they are all emotionally hurt
00:04:17.15\00:04:19.69
but they are all physically
hurt too in some way, and
00:04:19.69\00:04:22.66
so we go and pray for them uh
the the one thing that I think
00:04:22.66\00:04:26.90
I am lot of a lot of communities
like this and a lot of uh
00:04:26.90\00:04:30.63
people who wanna help is one
thing they lack is consistency
00:04:30.63\00:04:34.47
and that's the one thing
that we are breed here is
00:04:34.47\00:04:38.17
consistency, um not loving
the kids sometimes, not coming
00:04:38.17\00:04:42.34
here sometimes but every
sight is, you know, I wanna
00:04:42.34\00:04:45.88
make it everyday and
that's what were working for, um
00:04:45.88\00:04:49.45
and just to be here so they
know that they have somebody
00:04:49.45\00:04:51.69
to turn to so they know
that they have somebody whose
00:04:51.69\00:04:53.89
willing to help them um
and someone who loves them
00:04:53.89\00:04:55.82
and wants the best for
them. You know we have a lot to
00:04:55.82\00:04:58.69
pray for here, and a
lot of work ahead of us.
00:04:58.69\00:05:01.20
- [Natalie] So they started
getting more and more involved
00:05:01.20\00:05:04.23
there, and started teaching
the kids ukulele and English
00:05:04.23\00:05:07.37
classes and different things
like that and really connecting
00:05:07.37\00:05:10.34
- [Jon] Yes
00:05:10.34\00:05:11.31
- Really really connecting
00:05:11.31\00:05:12.81
- [Jon] Yeah, so there's a
little video where um we see
00:05:12.81\00:05:15.84
them working with the
kids in their ministry.
00:05:15.84\00:05:18.61
- Okay lets play that now
00:05:18.61\00:05:20.12
- Okay
00:05:20.12\00:05:21.38
- [Joshua] My motivation
you know aside from this
00:05:21.38\00:05:24.29
is where god wants me to
be and god has put me here um
00:05:24.29\00:05:27.86
besides that its their
ignorance, that's my motivation
00:05:27.86\00:05:31.76
because I know that when I
was a little kid, when I was
00:05:31.76\00:05:35.80
(pause)
00:05:35.80\00:05:37.27
even now, you know I don't
really know what's good for me
00:05:37.27\00:05:40.34
and I know what I want but I
don't know what's good for me
00:05:40.34\00:05:43.14
and you know I know they're
the same way as that they don't
00:05:43.14\00:05:46.37
know what's good for them and
they never had the opportunity
00:05:46.37\00:05:49.84
to have something that's good
for them. And so that's what
00:05:49.84\00:05:52.71
motivates me to come here
and to, to be with these kids
00:05:52.71\00:05:56.42
and to and to be with the
people here because the kids
00:05:56.42\00:05:59.49
they have no choice, they
didn't choose to live here, they
00:05:59.49\00:06:02.99
didn't choose to be poor, they
didn't choose to be ignorant,
00:06:02.99\00:06:06.23
they didn't choose any of
this, you know, their parents
00:06:06.23\00:06:08.50
chose it for them and they
have no choice, and so I want
00:06:08.50\00:06:11.63
my my motivation is to show
them another way. Show them that
00:06:11.63\00:06:14.87
the world is bigger
than the slum, that there is
00:06:14.87\00:06:17.87
opportunity, they just have
to grab it. I mean its the best
00:06:17.87\00:06:22.38
feeling in the world, you
know when you get these little
00:06:22.38\00:06:24.78
kids uh that learn how to
read, when you get the kids who
00:06:24.78\00:06:28.58
memorize a verse or memorize
a song or learn how to play
00:06:28.58\00:06:31.59
ukulele, and and they
love it, I mean its the most
00:06:31.59\00:06:35.72
rewarding feeling in the world.
00:06:35.72\00:06:38.33
- [Natalie] Such precious kids.
00:06:40.56\00:06:42.03
- [Jon] Yes very precious
kids. I love how you know Josh
00:06:42.03\00:06:46.30
went from living for himself
to living for others, and how
00:06:46.30\00:06:50.01
god took him out of a
careless lifestyle into you know
00:06:50.01\00:06:53.91
giving him purpose and uh
uh the love that he experienced
00:06:53.91\00:06:58.11
uh, he just shared with others.
00:06:58.11\00:07:00.48
- Right
00:07:00.48\00:07:01.98
- And his wife was such
a, such a perfect um helper
00:07:01.98\00:07:05.02
for him.
00:07:05.02\00:07:05.85
- Right
00:07:05.85\00:07:07.39
- Just really brought in
her own uh strengths and and and
00:07:07.39\00:07:11.23
and and and faith to to the
ministry was going very well.
00:07:11.23\00:07:15.53
- Right, it was
00:07:15.53\00:07:17.07
- It was doing really well,
but they started to realize
00:07:17.07\00:07:20.44
that to really help, to
really make an impact with these
00:07:20.44\00:07:23.97
kids' lives, they had to take
them out of that environment
00:07:23.97\00:07:27.74
because the way they think
00:07:27.74\00:07:29.78
- Right
00:07:29.78\00:07:30.71
- In the slum
00:07:30.71\00:07:32.18
- Right, its crazy. I mean
its like they been there, and
00:07:32.18\00:07:36.55
they're always gonna be there,
and so why change anything
00:07:37.95\00:07:40.39
just do what everyone around
you does. You know those kinds
00:07:40.39\00:07:43.26
of things is very
defeatus, its very
00:07:43.26\00:07:45.36
- Yeah negative, people
would be negative towards who
00:07:45.36\00:07:48.60
you could be. They say you
gonna be uh a druggie, you're
00:07:48.60\00:07:52.83
going to be a, your not
going to mount to anything, why
00:07:52.83\00:07:55.64
even bother, why even try?
And so this kind of mentality
00:07:55.64\00:07:59.37
uh, Josh was realizing was
just fighting against everything
00:07:59.37\00:08:03.11
they were doing so they thought,
we need to get these kids
00:08:03.11\00:08:06.48
out of this environment
into an environment where they
00:08:06.48\00:08:08.85
can see with their
own eyes and experience
00:08:08.85\00:08:11.59
a different kind of life.
00:08:11.59\00:08:13.09
- Right, right and so they
started having a picture of
00:08:13.09\00:08:16.83
helping these
kids to go to school
00:08:16.83\00:08:19.29
- Uh hm
00:08:19.29\00:08:20.83
- away from the slums. So
they started raising funds
00:08:20.83\00:08:22.80
to sponsor them to go to
Chiang Mai Adventist Academy.
00:08:22.80\00:08:26.67
- Yes, and so this next clip
is when Josh is visiting the
00:08:26.67\00:08:30.61
academy for the first
time and you can see he is very
00:08:30.61\00:08:33.21
excited about this
vision for his kids.
00:08:33.21\00:08:34.68
- Okay
00:08:34.68\00:08:35.64
(music)
00:08:35.64\00:08:36.48
(kid shouting)
00:08:36.48\00:08:37.98
- [Josh] So we just got
done with the meeting with the
00:08:37.98\00:08:39.78
administrator and
the principal here at the
00:08:39.78\00:08:41.68
Chiang Mai Adventist Academy.
Its gonna cost about a 1000 to
00:08:41.68\00:08:44.45
1200 dollars uh to send a
student here, uh for a whole
00:08:44.45\00:08:49.19
year. This just seems like a
really godly environment from
00:08:49.19\00:08:51.63
everything that they said.
Environment that's really gonna
00:08:51.63\00:08:53.66
show them god's love uh and
so we have the opportunity now
00:08:53.66\00:08:57.87
to send our kids, our
scholarship kids here um to
00:08:57.87\00:09:01.94
learn here to learn about god
here and to learn about how a
00:09:01.94\00:09:05.07
Christian lives their life here.
00:09:05.07\00:09:07.14
Hahaa
00:09:07.14\00:09:07.98
(clapping with kids)
00:09:07.98\00:09:10.58
- The small goals for right
now uh just to love these kids
00:09:10.58\00:09:14.75
uh to show them that I want
the best for them. Our medium
00:09:14.75\00:09:17.72
goals are to teach them
and and showing them Jesus and
00:09:17.72\00:09:21.32
giving them opportunity
um with the school, with the
00:09:21.32\00:09:25.33
scholarships, with with things
that they don't have that uh
00:09:25.33\00:09:28.86
that kind of seem helpless
to them they just opportunities
00:09:28.86\00:09:32.03
that they would never have if
somebody didn't come down here
00:09:32.03\00:09:34.67
and didn't get to know them.
00:09:34.67\00:09:37.21
(music)
00:09:37.21\00:09:39.21
- [Jon] So this vision was
developing in their minds about
00:09:43.55\00:09:45.88
sending these kids up there
and at that point, their plan
00:09:45.88\00:09:48.28
was to stay in Bangkok. In
fact they continued to stay in
00:09:48.28\00:09:50.95
Bangkok and sent two
young people up to uh
00:09:50.95\00:09:54.79
Chiang Mai Adventist Academy.
00:09:54.79\00:09:56.62
- Right, one of them was a
girl name Prauw, and the other
00:09:56.62\00:10:00.46
one was a boy.
00:10:00.46\00:10:01.50
- Named Nut
00:10:01.50\00:10:02.33
- Haha right
00:10:02.33\00:10:03.77
- Haha, now Chiang Mai Adventist
Academy is about 10 or 12
00:10:03.77\00:10:06.17
hours north out of Bangkok,
so its a pretty significant
00:10:06.17\00:10:09.50
distance away from
where they were living.
00:10:09.50\00:10:12.14
- Right, right so these kids
were completely out of the city
00:10:12.14\00:10:16.78
- Uh hm
00:10:16.78\00:10:17.98
- They were
living in dormitories
00:10:17.98\00:10:19.25
- Uh hm
00:10:19.25\00:10:20.78
- On a beautiful campus with
lots of trees and everything
00:10:20.78\00:10:22.92
and so it was a
very very big change.
00:10:22.92\00:10:26.25
- Yes. But you know even
though you have a change in
00:10:26.25\00:10:30.03
environment, it doesn't
mean you have a change of your
00:10:30.03\00:10:32.93
history and your past.
00:10:32.93\00:10:34.40
- Right
00:10:34.40\00:10:35.93
- And maybe you should set
up the story because its its
00:10:35.93\00:10:37.90
we have, we put the whole
thing in its entirety together
00:10:37.90\00:10:40.40
because its such a
moving and powerful story.
00:10:40.40\00:10:43.61
- Right. I'd like to warn
our viewers that now would be a
00:10:43.61\00:10:46.41
good time to get a box of
cleanex because this a powerful
00:10:46.41\00:10:49.54
story, and um I
know I will need them
00:10:49.54\00:10:52.61
and so I,
00:10:54.22\00:10:55.02
yeah here is the video of
Prauw telling her own story.
00:10:56.48\00:11:00.76
(music)
00:11:19.37\00:11:21.38
- [Josh] So Prauw was
the the daughter that we came
00:11:43.80\00:11:46.17
up her for. She
00:11:46.17\00:11:47.40
was born to a
00:11:49.00\00:11:50.57
13 year old meth-addicted
00:11:50.57\00:11:52.57
mother. Um by two years old
she was living with her aunt who
00:11:52.57\00:11:57.25
was in a drug house
00:11:57.25\00:11:58.81
and she
00:11:59.88\00:12:01.18
was neglected, um kinda like a
00:12:01.18\00:12:03.75
Cinderella story um, and I
guess we are the happy ending to
00:12:03.75\00:12:08.56
that story. Um but she was
abused, uh, physically, mentally
00:12:08.56\00:12:13.56
sexually, every way that you
can imagine which led her into
00:12:14.96\00:12:18.30
drug and alcohol abuse, um
this is by 13-14 years old.
00:12:18.30\00:12:22.80
15-16 years old she was
involved in prostitution.
00:12:24.24\00:12:27.71
(birds chirping)
00:12:27.71\00:12:30.51
(music)
00:12:30.51\00:12:32.51
(music)
00:12:54.77\00:12:56.74
(music)
00:14:15.62\00:14:17.72
- [Josh] Her story is
very long and its very hard
00:14:34.07\00:14:38.17
and I say to
myself that if I would've
00:14:39.34\00:14:42.41
if I would've grew
00:14:43.31\00:14:44.95
up in the same atmosphere and
I would have went through the
00:14:44.95\00:14:47.82
same things that she went
through, I would have committed
00:14:47.82\00:14:50.32
suicide a long time ago.
00:14:50.32\00:14:52.32
(music)
00:14:53.46\00:14:55.46
- When we heard about this
we immediately came up here.
00:15:28.62\00:15:32.09
We saw her in the
hospital. We started praying
00:15:32.09\00:15:34.83
'God what do you want us
to do? How do we correct this
00:15:34.83\00:15:38.70
situation? How do we make
this better?' We prayed and we
00:15:38.70\00:15:42.90
prayed and we just thinking
about everything we prayed it
00:15:42.90\00:15:47.14
just felt like it just kept
coming back to us the parable
00:15:47.14\00:15:50.11
of the lost sheep, that we
needed to leave the 99 to take
00:15:50.11\00:15:53.58
care of the one. So we left
Bangkok, we left our ministry,
00:15:53.58\00:15:57.19
we left everything to
come and take care of one girl.
00:15:57.19\00:16:01.59
- My wife did not want to be
here. She had everything that
00:17:04.52\00:17:09.09
she had worked her whole life
for in Bangkok. She had, God
00:17:09.09\00:17:12.46
had blessed her with an
amazing job. She had everything
00:17:12.46\00:17:16.67
that she wanted, all her
friends, we had our ministry and
00:17:16.67\00:17:19.73
we didn't have to rely on
anybody else or donations or
00:17:19.73\00:17:23.74
anything because my wife
was the one who was mainly
00:17:23.74\00:17:27.78
supporting it and she liked it.
00:17:27.78\00:17:30.35
But when God calls you,
00:17:31.28\00:17:33.18
you know you have to answer
and when God called us to come
00:17:34.62\00:17:38.29
up here, we came. We didn't
think we were gonna stay when
00:17:38.29\00:17:42.19
we came and I told her 'Lets
just go try it for one week'
00:17:42.19\00:17:46.39
and the one week turned into
lets just try it for one month.
00:17:46.39\00:17:50.67
And then the one month turned
into this is what God wants
00:17:50.67\00:17:54.67
us to do.
00:17:54.67\00:17:55.57
(music)
00:17:55.57\00:17:57.57
(kids talking Thai)
00:18:12.95\00:18:15.96
(music)
00:18:20.03\00:18:22.00
- [Josh] The girl that she
was to the women that she is now
00:20:34.10\00:20:37.53
is amazing and its a testament
to God's love because we
00:20:37.53\00:20:42.50
are not the best parents. We
fail, we get mad, we get angry
00:20:43.97\00:20:47.44
uh, we are not fair you
know and uh we are not the best
00:20:47.44\00:20:52.38
parents but the love that
god has given to her and us and
00:20:52.38\00:20:57.12
the love that God has
given her to bring her to us and
00:20:58.59\00:21:02.36
to draw her out uh
from where she was uh
00:21:02.36\00:21:05.69
its life changing for her
00:21:08.06\00:21:10.20
and it it really is
life changing for us as well
00:21:10.20\00:21:12.60
to see uh uh just everything
that has happened knowing the
00:21:12.60\00:21:16.81
beginning and seeing
what its turned into.
00:21:16.81\00:21:20.38
(music)
00:21:20.38\00:21:22.38
(music)
00:21:47.34\00:21:49.30
- [Natalie] Yeah, uh
haha, we had to get the cleanex.
00:22:03.02\00:22:06.45
- [Jon] Yeah hahah
00:22:06.45\00:22:07.96
- So powerful what god has
done in all of their lives.
00:22:07.96\00:22:11.66
I mean reality to take Josh
and Chitty from the work that
00:22:11.66\00:22:16.63
they know God had called
them to, to give all of that and
00:22:18.07\00:22:21.34
go for one.
00:22:21.34\00:22:23.00
- Yeah and it was
00:22:23.00\00:22:24.24
- And give up her job
and everything. It just.
00:22:24.24\00:22:26.51
- Its amazing because you know
00:22:26.51\00:22:29.01
I was talking, Josh would
00:22:30.98\00:22:32.48
call me and talk about the
situation when they went up
00:22:32.48\00:22:35.42
to see her and saw, that
even though was in a good place,
00:22:35.42\00:22:39.65
physically she had a lota
lota things to process. A lot of
00:22:39.65\00:22:44.29
a lot of pain to deal with
and they were looking around
00:22:44.29\00:22:48.53
all over the place looking
for somebody that would take
00:22:48.53\00:22:50.57
care of her. Um, and they
couldn't find anybody so he's he
00:22:50.57\00:22:54.27
told me he says you know
I'm thinking that we should be
00:22:54.27\00:22:56.67
become her parents. That we
should move up here and like
00:22:56.67\00:23:00.24
just like adopt her. And
I was just like that is such
00:23:00.24\00:23:04.05
a picture of God. This such
a picture of God to sacrifice
00:23:04.05\00:23:07.92
everything for one.
00:23:07.92\00:23:09.52
- Right
00:23:10.35\00:23:11.85
- For you know, to leave the
90 and 9 and go after the one
00:23:11.85\00:23:14.69
lost sheep.
00:23:14.69\00:23:15.52
- Right
00:23:15.52\00:23:17.03
- And when they did that,
when they decided to do that
00:23:17.03\00:23:18.59
its a lot of
miracles surrounding that
00:23:18.59\00:23:20.20
- Right
00:23:20.20\00:23:21.66
- to enable them to do
that, and when they did that its
00:23:21.66\00:23:23.20
like she saw,
wow! Somebody cares.
00:23:23.20\00:23:26.60
- Right
00:23:26.60\00:23:27.44
- Somebody cares.
00:23:27.44\00:23:28.34
- Right
00:23:28.34\00:23:29.20
- And the
00:23:29.20\00:23:30.67
- And they didn't just do
that and that was the end of it
00:23:30.67\00:23:33.04
- No
00:23:33.04\00:23:34.58
- You know its like they
did that and they lived the life
00:23:34.58\00:23:36.44
of love that causes that to be.
00:23:36.44\00:23:39.18
- Right
00:23:39.18\00:23:40.65
- You know caused them
to be willing to do that.
00:23:40.65\00:23:42.75
- Right
00:23:42.75\00:23:44.25
- So they lived that life
of love continually with her
00:23:44.25\00:23:46.25
- Yes
00:23:46.25\00:23:47.79
- And then she saw I mean, she
started getting a hold of the
00:23:47.79\00:23:49.92
value that God put on her.
00:23:49.92\00:23:51.69
- Yes
00:23:51.69\00:23:53.16
- Because of what they
were willing to do for her
00:23:53.16\00:23:54.83
- Exactly, exactly. And so
they helped her process through
00:23:54.83\00:23:58.40
a lot the pain and there's
still dealing with it, but its
00:23:58.40\00:24:01.90
an amazing thing for a
young lady to to to make the
00:24:01.90\00:24:05.71
confession that
she did on this video.
00:24:05.71\00:24:07.81
- I know.
00:24:07.81\00:24:09.31
- Um, most people don't do
that but Josh encouraged her
00:24:09.31\00:24:11.55
this will encourage others that
God loves them and that they
00:24:11.55\00:24:16.35
have value and there's hope
00:24:16.35\00:24:18.25
- Right
00:24:18.25\00:24:19.09
(laughs calmly)
00:24:19.09\00:24:20.09
- Right, she's
a very brave girl.
00:24:20.09\00:24:21.66
- Yes, and to see her now, I
mean you could see her when she
00:24:21.66\00:24:24.86
smiled, I mean its like
the whole room lights up.
00:24:24.86\00:24:26.90
She's got an electric smile
that comes from the heart and
00:24:26.90\00:24:29.73
she realizes her
value that she has in god.
00:24:29.73\00:24:32.80
- Right. And I love how
when Chitty was sharing their
00:24:32.80\00:24:35.37
what she would do she
would go around and help people,
00:24:35.37\00:24:37.84
- Yes
00:24:37.84\00:24:39.37
- If anyone needed you know
a massage, she would give 'em a
00:24:39.37\00:24:40.88
massage. She was gathering
the children in the neighborhood
00:24:40.88\00:24:42.38
and teaching
them to play and sing.
00:24:42.38\00:24:44.31
- Yes
00:24:44.31\00:24:45.55
- You know just,
it just really um,
00:24:45.55\00:24:47.18
- She's become a
little missionary.
00:24:47.18\00:24:49.08
- Right uh
00:24:49.08\00:24:50.05
- Yeah
00:24:50.05\00:24:51.59
- And and its that love
that she's receiving, she's then
00:24:51.59\00:24:52.65
imparting to others.
00:24:52.65\00:24:54.29
- Yes and this is
the, this is the gospel.
00:24:54.29\00:24:57.26
- Right
00:24:57.26\00:24:58.09
- This is the kingdom.
00:24:58.09\00:24:58.93
- Live
00:24:58.93\00:24:59.76
- This is how it works.
00:24:59.76\00:25:00.63
- Live
00:25:00.63\00:25:02.10
- Exactly. The next chapter
that were not gonna be able to
00:25:02.10\00:25:04.10
tell much here is that recently
she went back down to the
00:25:04.10\00:25:08.97
slum to visit her family
and discovered that she had two
00:25:08.97\00:25:12.77
younger siblings that
she didn't know about.
00:25:12.77\00:25:14.84
- Hmm
00:25:14.84\00:25:16.08
- Her mom, is not
the most virtuous women.
00:25:16.08\00:25:19.55
- Right
00:25:19.55\00:25:21.02
- And so she went and found
these siblings and they were in
00:25:21.02\00:25:23.49
a really bad situation
living with um uh relative that
00:25:23.49\00:25:27.22
could hardly take care of
herself. She was mostly blind,
00:25:27.22\00:25:29.79
mostly invalid, and so they
were completely abandoned um
00:25:29.79\00:25:33.26
just fending for themselves
and she just cried and cried
00:25:33.26\00:25:37.10
and cried and cried, and well
I'm getting ahead of myself,
00:25:37.10\00:25:40.24
but anyway there's two young
children that now have a story
00:25:40.24\00:25:45.14
that we have to tell.
00:25:46.17\00:25:47.81
- Right, in another episode
because there's not enough time
00:25:47.81\00:25:50.31
today.
00:25:50.31\00:25:51.15
- Yes
00:25:51.15\00:25:52.68
- But coming soon, there will
be the story of wind and sky.
00:25:52.68\00:25:55.58
- Yes
00:25:55.58\00:25:57.12
- And we should not that Preaw
what we call her, its kind of
00:25:57.12\00:25:59.45
a nickname and a lot of people
in Thailand don't go by their
00:25:59.45\00:26:02.92
given name
00:26:02.92\00:26:03.79
- Yes
00:26:03.79\00:26:04.93
- They go by a
nickname of some kind. So
00:26:04.93\00:26:06.16
- Can you
pronounce her her real name?
00:26:06.16\00:26:07.83
- Boonyada
00:26:07.83\00:26:08.83
- Okay, pretty good hahah
00:26:08.83\00:26:09.66
- I don't know hahah
00:26:09.66\00:26:11.07
- I'm probably doing it
completely wrong because it's a
00:26:11.07\00:26:13.40
tonal language but
anyway um, we call her Preaw.
00:26:13.40\00:26:17.17
- So, yeah we call her Preaw.
So when they moved up there
00:26:17.17\00:26:19.97
and took Preaw in, they started
realizing hey there's other
00:26:19.97\00:26:23.58
kids that need this kind
of, they need a home atmosphere.
00:26:23.58\00:26:26.61
- Right
00:26:26.61\00:26:28.08
- They need somebody to love
them and to show them the right
00:26:28.08\00:26:29.65
way to go.
00:26:29.65\00:26:30.49
- Right
00:26:30.49\00:26:31.95
- And they didn't wanna,
they didn't wanna have a big
00:26:31.95\00:26:33.46
dormitory style uh like an
orphanage or children's home
00:26:33.46\00:26:37.13
but they wanna have a home
environment where they live and
00:26:37.13\00:26:41.30
work together as a family.
00:26:41.30\00:26:42.93
- Right
00:26:42.93\00:26:44.40
- And so, this last year
they've grown to seven kids.
00:26:44.40\00:26:47.20
- Um hm
00:26:47.20\00:26:48.67
- And they're coming up this
next year they're talking about
00:26:48.67\00:26:51.71
maybe 13 kids.
00:26:51.71\00:26:53.61
- Yeah, that's
a lot of children.
00:26:53.61\00:26:56.04
- And
00:26:56.04\00:26:57.51
- But there are, they are
getting contacted from pastors
00:26:57.51\00:26:59.91
and and different leaders
from different areas of the
00:26:59.91\00:27:01.98
country saying can you take
care of this child while they're
00:27:01.98\00:27:04.79
up there because they their
home environment is very poor
00:27:04.79\00:27:08.26
- Right
00:27:08.26\00:27:09.76
- And they can't send them
or their home environment is
00:27:09.76\00:27:11.29
non-existent
00:27:11.29\00:27:12.49
- Right
00:27:12.49\00:27:13.93
- And, so its they're
getting a lot of calls for help
00:27:13.93\00:27:15.83
- Right
00:27:15.83\00:27:17.37
- I love this story of Preaw
and how is God changing her
00:27:17.37\00:27:19.37
heart and has changed her
life so dramatically already.
00:27:19.37\00:27:21.87
And I know that he's working
in the lives of the other
00:27:21.87\00:27:24.81
children that are
living in their home as well.
00:27:24.81\00:27:26.91
- Absolutely
00:27:26.91\00:27:28.44
- And I can't wait to be able
to share some of their stories
00:27:28.44\00:27:29.91
as well.
00:27:29.91\00:27:30.75
- Yeah
00:27:30.75\00:27:32.21
- The Bouter Family obviously
needs a lot of prayer for
00:27:32.21\00:27:34.55
these challenges that we just
talked about. Its so beautiful
00:27:34.55\00:27:38.15
that God has changed Preaw's
life so dramatically. If you
00:27:38.15\00:27:42.36
would like to be a part of
making changes in the child's
00:27:42.36\00:27:44.79
life like that, you can send
