Prayer Guide for GRN Thailand August 2025

Dear Prayer Partners,

Last month I wrote, "Over recent days GRNT staff Lot, Jaew and Boi visited quite a few Nyeu people in their homes in NE Thailand." They along with Nyeu Christian Paw and Thai Pastor Samut, visited and distributed MP3 players with the Nyeu Good News recording (pictures 1-22). " Your continued prayers mean so much for bearing fruit among the Nyeu who received the MP3 players and witness of the team. "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." Galatians 6:9

Together with your prayers, we will not give up on the Nyeu.

Jon Rulison
