Pray for Nai's Sister Nuhy

In the last blog I shared about Nai, who has been helping me to learn Thai. I would also like for you to keep Nuhy, Nai's sister in your prayers. The moment we came to live in this house, Nuhy came and spoke with some friends of ours who were on our team. She seemed interested in learning about Christianity, but we weren't really sure how interested. About one year has passed by now, and we believe that she is really close to giving her life to Christ. Nuhy teaches about computers at the local village school. All the teachers there also teach about the Buddhist religion. A month or so back she mentioned to the principal that she would not be teaching about Buddhism because of her interest in Christianity. Just a few days ago, she shared with me another story about how her mother was crying out while asleep, but she would not wake up. Her family members in the village offered things to deceased ancestors on behalf of her, and Nuhy reluctantly joined in and helped gather some things. While doing so, she stopped and prayed to God for her mother. Not much later, her mother awoke; Nuhy said that the others believed this was because of their appeasing of the ancestors, but she felt it was a work of God. Please pray that Nuhy would make a decision to follow Christ, and that we would have ample opportunity help her to grow in her understanding of the great God that we serve.
