Prayer request for Amp’s family
|
| Please join Amp, Benz, & the Casebolts in praying for Amp’s grandfather (Gohng). Amp’s grandfather certainly appears to be toward the end of his life and frequently goes in and out of the hospital. Most recently, a monk told Amp’s family that grandpa Gohng is suffering because he was cruel to animals in a *past life and that his sickness will end in death (a good guess, we would say, given his age and condition). Amp’s dad has not had much to say or do with his father, Gohng, during this time of sickness, but just today was at the temple to make merit for his birthday (Buddhists believe that we are born with sin, like we do, but that we can make merit to try to erase that sin) and spoke with a monk who told him that his dad was cruel to a bird in a past life and so now he is in pain because of his former sins.
Please pray that God will hear our prayers for Amp’s grandfather and choose to glorify Himself through helping Gohng recover from his pains before his life is over. The pictures above are of Amp’s family (dad, mom, grandmother) from their recent visit to the temple. The big Buddha idol was donated to the temple by Amp’s dad (at a cost of just under $1500 USD). Please pray for Amp and his family, especially for Amp’s witness and for the power of God to be made manifest on behalf of Gohng. - The Casebolts * Buddha didn’t teach reincarnation as such, but taught that what is passed to others in another life is an impersonal records of rights and wrongs (gam in Thai, Karma in Hinduism). The monks either don’t understand this or just don’t spend time making the distinction. In sum, Buddha (Sidharta), was a follower of Hinduism – and really just reformed it by turning it inside out – so Hinduism’s influence can be seen and felt throughout Buddhism. |
