2007 started with bombs in Bangkok, floods in Malaysia, and not to mention the sluggish Asian internet access (no thanks to the earthquake in Taiwan), but wait, I have what must be the first good news for this year. Are you ready for that? Ok. Petsaurus SMSed me last night that Rabbit has accepted Christ! Rabbit is my fellow volunteer for Deaf-initely Boleh! (http://deafboleh.com/), who has become a personal friend after we slogged through thick and thin for the last 1.5 years to bring the carnival to fruition.
When I first met Rabbit last year, she was a gentle, timid soul, just like her namesake. Despite being the chairperson of the carnival committee, she was as humble as any bumble bee could bee. As I got to know her, somehow I just felt that this young woman will come to know Jesus one day. She already reflects Jesus in many ways, even though she was of a different faith. I prayed for her in secret, and shared with her my life-transforming adventures with Jesus in our many casual chats on the way home after carnival meetings. Little did I know that somewhere out there, Petsaurus, another fellow volunteer and sister-in-Christ, despite going through personal struggles and a tough time, was already sharing the Gospel with Rabbit and praying for her.
And God too, was already working in her life, way before we even mentioned the word Jesus to her. And today, I thank God for touching Rabbit's heart in such a special way. For all the love she has been giving unconditionally to the less privileged around her, she will now know that it comes from Jesus and I pray that she will continue to be the kind, gentle Rabbit to the needy folks out there who need to experience supernatural love, GOD's love, that is.

Hiya Thomas!
Yes, agree that it's a piece of good news for the year :) It's wonderful to know that another one has been saved for Jesus. Thanks for sharing and encouraging us on to bring people to know Christ more.
