Give me a sight, O Savior

I received your letter of June 13 and read everything. Two weeks ago I went from Penang to Na-Bang in Thailand and did some work. I did not return until yesterday. After reading your letter I must thank the Lord unceasingly. I cannot help but praise the Lord greatly for the work that He has done through you in Hong Kong! Allow me to say a few words about the meeting in Na-Bang in Thailand. I believe you would like to know about it. Two years ago a servant of the Lord went there to pioneer the work, and some were baptized. They began to break bread every Lord's Day to remember the Lord. The believers were very anxious about being raptured, and they began to wait for His coming at their meetings. In one of the Lord's Day morning meetings recently, they waited from ten o'clock until two o'clock the following afternoon. Evil spirits deceived our brothers, saying, "The rapture is coming. In a few hours you will be raptured. Close your eyes, or else you will become a Laodicean." When night came, no one went home. Instead, they groped their way in the dark from the meeting hall to the courtyard outside the hall and waited the whole night. They fasted for four meals. They were beaten by the wind and the rain at night and scorched by the sun in the day. Although eight or nine of them eventually went home throughout the time, about twenty or thirty people were left, and they did not disperse until two o'clock the following afternoon. The evil spirits, who always try to buffet us or deceive us, were indeed evil. But the Lord is victorious, and He will also preserve us (2 Thes. 3:3). Many left after this episode, and the meeting was almost abandoned. But thank the Lord for His grace. They are now learning to sing Hymns #41, #159, etc. Through the prayer of the brothers and sisters in various places, they are slowly being recovered. However, we still need the desperate prayer of all the brothers and sisters everywhere.
