Give thanks for 10 new Christians baptised at the end of July at Fullness of Joy Church in Bangkok, Thailand. There were 6 women and 4 men. Some were elderly, some young. Among those baptised, there was a village leader, a cook, a cleaner, a young man recently released from prison. Please pray for these new believers as they learn to walk with Christ each day and to find their place in his body.
