I didn’t know what to expect when I came to Bangkok, Thailand; but I’ve realized that I am experiencing the best of everything at God’s party. When our group (my dad [Richard], my mom [Sandy], Sarah Jeanne, Misty, Sunny, Abigail, and Chris) came to Bangkok, we left all agenda’s behind and said, “We’re just going with the flow. Whatever God wants to do with us is fine.” Little did we know God had better planed than we could imagine!
When we arrived, God gave us girls a beautiful, two bedroom apartment suite, in a skyscraper overlooking the city. Being girls, we couldn’t resist the urge to dance around the place thanking God. It was perfect, and the daily breakfast was equally perfect.
We came to sing at the Carnival of Joy, which is the largest Christian event that Thailand has seen within the last twenty years. The carnival had games for children, fireworks at night, entertainment, and prayer for anyone who came to the event. Our music group consists of: Sunny, on lead guitar; Sarah Jeanne, on bass; Abigail, on key board; Chris, on the drums; Misty, vocals; and me, vocals.
We arrived at the carnival grounds on Friday, and the band was going to play at one of four stages, set up out doors on the second level of the arena. Nearby we were given a small room, to prophesy to anyone who wanted it. A team of young, local translators, whom we had met a few days before at a prophetic training session held by my dad, helped us out. At first there were only a few who showed up to receive a prophesy, but then more and more came within the next hour, until the room was filled with people standing waiting to hear the word of the Lord. The meeting was cut short so our team could run outside and sing on stage. The concert was so much fun, Abigail and Sarah Jeanne wore sunglasses and they looked so good.
Later, in the evening, we were given a larger room for the prophetic sessions. People wept because of the prophecies they were given, and others rejoiced.
Saturday was the biggest and final day of the carnival. Our band sang at two larger stages than the day before, one being the largest, in the arena. That day while I was singing, I felt like I was seeing my dreams come to pass. The cool thing is, I didn’t have to make it happen. God did everything. All I had to do was accept everything that God prepared for me. The Lord told me, “Watch what I do.” That’s it. I didn’t have to do anything but enjoy the ride!
Saturday night, when the group prophesied, the room was packed with eager people sitting and standing. They were healed, and blessed. There was one girl that Misty prophesied to saying, “There’s a decision that the Lord wants you to make now.” Afterwards, we found out that she had been engaged for eight years and her fiancée was frustrated, because she hadn’t made up her mind if she would marry him. She had just decided to postpone the wedding for another two years. When she received this word, she knew that it was from God, and she cancelled the postponement of the wedding to the joy of the young man.
God took such good care of us. When we went out to shop one day, we found a very gentle dentist with the latest, beautiful facilities. Each of us had a complete dental overhaul. I had ten small cavities filled, a teeth cleaning, and laser whitening. This was an answer to my prayers. Sarah Jeanne had an eye exam, and got a month’s worth of contact lenses. My dad got designer prescription reading glasses, sunglasses, and “everyday” glasses. These are just a small, few of the personal things that Jesus did for us in Thailand.
We were all amazed at this incredible effortless trip. The Lord planned everything. In faith, we believed that everything would work for our good. And, that’s exactly what happened.

It is amazing to see what God has for us when we lay down our own agendas. Your testimony is awesome. Not only did God give you words to minister to the people but He took care of the things you and the group needed as well. He loves us so much that the small things we can live with out, He is willing to give us just because we surrender to His will and follow after Him.

Hi, Rocki
I’m Ahn, one of your translators in Thailand. Thanks for sharing. And thanks God for the great thing He did in Thailand. I saw many great things happen through your team and through our team (translator team). We saw that God will lead us, the youth, to take Thailand back to Him. We will be like a chain connecting to each others and nothing can break us.
In Your presence, all fear is gone, in Your presence.
(mue song satit,kwam glua hai pai,mue song satit)
In Your presence is where I belong, in Your presence.
(mue song satit,kah yoo tee none,mue song satit)
When I’m in Your presence, I’m like a bird. I can fly fly fly …. (*2)
(mue pra ong song satit,chan muean dang nok-chan jah bin bin bin…. (*2))
Fly fly fly fly fly fly… fly fly with You.
(bin bin bin bin bin bin… bin gab pra ong)
I wanna be with You (*6)
(kah yag yoo gab pra ong (*6))
I’m still remember this song that I sang with you on the stage. And now I translate a whole song into Thai and write down for you. I was in the presence of God then. It’s awesome!!!
If one of the team read this message, please tell the others that I miss you all.
God bless you.
Ahn
P.S. Please tell Sandy that I’m sorry that I forgot to give her back her bible and jacket. I’m gonna send them back tomorrow.

Re: “Some had tears.” I often pray that God will be gentle in the words he gives me through his prophets because I know that sometimes I need correcting. I was really amazed at how on the mark you were today in what I had been praying about, but He is my El-Roi and I know that He wants to amaze us and fill us with joy. God bless you for letting Him use you.
