Crossing Into the Danger Zone

This morning at 3 AM, a building sank backwards about 5 feet into the ground. Now the building is tilting, like the Leaning Tower of Pisa. It is right next to one of our church plants. Why did it sink? Because Bangkok is sinking about 4 inches a year!

This sinking building is right next to our church plant in Ramkhamhaeng district of Bangkok. No one was reported hurt in this disaster, because God saved all the people living in this building.


Here I am with Pastor Kharom, standing in front of the church plant. The District Leader or Mayor came and set up the Disaster Relief Registration tables in front of the church plant. God spared the building our church plant is in from being damaged.


We gave out free bottled water to the people who were thirsty. We ran out of the bottled water in less than 20 minutes, because there was so many people there. Some of the people don't live in this neighborhood were police men, fire fighters & rescue workers, and the TV camera people.

We had to go to the store and buy more bottled water. We used our money to help others during this disaster in the Warm Zone.


The families all must move. So they moved all of their furniture and stuff out on the street. Some moved their things under some tents that the police set up.

The police came to guard the belongings of the families who have to move. I took this picture because they are drinking the water the kids from the church plant gave them!

I crossed the yellow tape to serve the people in need in the Warm Zone. Here in Thailand, the Warm Zone is the Danger Zone of a disaster or accident.

Jesus came to save me from sin in the Warm Zone of Earth.


Questions for my blog readers:

1. How many years will it take for Bangkok to sink one meter?
2. Have you ever helped others in need the the Warm Zone? How did you help? Please e-mail me.
   
3. Will you help others in the Warm Zone here in Bangkok?

• You can help by sending money so that we can buy water bottles & food for this neighborhood.
• You can pray for the people to know Jesus' love for them.
  
• Will you give water to the thirsty babies?
  

Matthew 25:31-46
31 “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. 32 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. 33 And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; 36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’
37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 38 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’
41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’
44 “Then they also will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
