S. was born into a churchgoing family, but his parents divorced when he was only a child. This painful separation left S. feeling crushed and abandoned. “He felt like he couldn’t rely on his parents’ love, so he sought love from friends,” MM Partner David S told us. “But he ended up making friends with drug addicts, and before long, they pulled him into their dark lifestyle.” Soon, S. found himself hooked on a heavy drug which many children buy for the price of candy. His downward spiral continued for years, inspiring S’s Christian loved ones to prayer.
Today, S. is working hard to win Thailand to Jesus Christ after several years of fruitful ministry in Burma. He spends most days building redemptive relationships in homes, soccer fields, and anywhere else God leads. “He has made a lot of non-believing friends,” David S told us. “First he builds relationships, and then slowly shares the gospel. He has led many to Christ this way.”
Once S. gets established in Thailand, he’ll also evangelize Thai youth through music ministry. While in Burma, he won many souls through his small music school and recording studio.
Evangelist S. seeks to model New Testament evangelism by preaching clearly and demonstrating Jesus’ miraculous power. “It’s very clear that Evangelist S. has the spiritual gift of healing [1 Corinthians 12:9],” David S. told us. “Sometimes the healing happens instantly, and other times it happens after a few days. But God has used Evangelist S. to heal deafness, paralysis, and more.” Sometimes Evangelist S. even visits hospitals to minister to the sick, and God has healed many as a result.
Evangelist S. is driven by a yearning for the salvation of his generation. “He strongly desires to see young people transformed,” David S. told us. “He knows what it’s like to live addicted, and he longs to see young souls saved, transformed, freed from drugs, and enlisted in God’s work. He believes that if he reaches young people, those young people will reach many others.” Please take a moment and pray that God will use Evangelist S. to win many from his generation to Jesus.
