Beulah Church in session. Services
are often a combination of three
languages, Thai, Rawang, and
English. Sometimes there are no North
American guests, so only the first two
are used. Here, Pastor Somsak and
Beverley Kalnin are doing
announcements.

Another communion Sunday with Mr.
Waranton serving. It was a great loss to
FLC when this quiet and servant-hearted
man of God passed away suddenly last
fall. He is sorely missed; please pray for
his wife and children.

Here are Singers keeping track of one
of the many hymns sung at Beulah.
Worship is a mix of hymns and also
modern worship songs. It's fun to be
there and hear the tune to "How Great
Thou Art", but the words are in Rawang!

Some soaking prayer for Mr. Sayan
Kusawadi, the director of the "Home of
Blessing" which FLC helps support. It
is a home and school for girls who
otherwise might get into the awful
prostitution rings in Bangkok.

After the Sunday service, the chairs
are moved and some delicious food is
brought out for everyone to share! It's
a great time to come together and chat
about the past week or exciting events
upcoming.

Here is one of the famous dinner
events served at the center. The food

the incredible hospitality and
thankfulness shown by FLC toward all
those who help the ministry.
