Tsunami Survivor

So about 10 years ago I came to Thailand for the first time after the tsunami hit.  I was in the South of Thailand rebuilding houses and hearing stories of survivors of the tsunami.  Today I met a woman who was in the tsunami and who survived.  She has a 6 year old some and is pregnant with her second. A few months ago she was homeless and so she looked on the Internet for places for women and children.  She found MB MISSION and The Abundant Life home here in Chonburi and called to see if she and her son could live there.  They said yes.  Her name is Arm.  When she came she said that she never thought she would experience true joy, peace and happiness.  She wasn't a Christian before she came, but then she met other followers of Jesus and felt she had a new family.  You see her parents were killed in the tsunami.  She mentioned that Ajarn Naat reminds her of her mother and has become a spiritual mother to her.  Tracy and I felt honored to be in her presence.  We told her over dinner that this is the reason we've come, to see lives transformed by Jesus Christ.
