On New Year’s Day, after the morning service, PCC members gathered together at Nai Yang Beach to witness the baptism of 43 new members.  A record for PCC!

This has been a year of extraordinary miracles.  In September, a young girl with pneumonia died at the local hospital and was taken to the morgue.  Her grandma, Jim of our Urak Rawoi church went to see her only to be told that she was dead.  She went into the morgue and cried out to Jesus just as the girl was about to be injected with formaldehyde.  She got up and to prove it was a genuine miracle, she rose from the dead free of pneumonia!

In December, Kord came to PCC for the first time and testified to the healing power of God after a severe accident left a steel bar through his lungs, heart and stomach.  Doctors said he could not possibly survive, but when Wanlapa (The Ice-Cream Lady) prayed for him on the telephone he was healed.

On Monday 26th December pastors and members of PCC joined Mayor Paiboon Upatising at Patong Beach for the 7^th Tsunami Memorial together with the Governor of Phuket and the Consular General of The Netherlands.  As the crowds gathered to remember and mourn the loss of loved ones at this "Light Up Phuket" remembrance service, Pastor Brian led us in observing a one minute silence for those who had lost their lives in the disaster. After reading from Isaiah 61:1 – 3, he led us in a prayer to comfort those who mourned and then proclaimed a blessing upon the island of Phuket, residents and visitors alike.

Phuket, you are beautiful. You are the Pearl of the Andaman Sea. You are destined to be a Light to this Nation. Phuket, may you receive the blessing of God upon you. A better future is in store for you as we light up Phuket, and take every opportunity to bring hope to this island.

Once again, it was a very solemn and moving time as the service concluded with everyone joining together to light candles and place them together with bouquets of flowers at strategic points along the beach.
