Sakchai Lalit / AP Thai officials arrange bags containing dead fetuses found at the morgue of a Buddhist temple in Bangkok on Friday.

BANGKOK – On the grounds of a Buddhist temple, dozens of white plastic bags lay in carefully arranged rows. Each sack was knotted at the top and contained the remains of a fetus. Thai authorities found about 2,000 remains in the temple’s mortuary, where they had been hidden for a year — apparently to conceal illegal abortions.

A strong stench had drawn police to the temple in Bangkok’s old city Tuesday, and authorities searching the mortuary — where bodies awaiting cremation are normally kept — initially found more than 300 fetuses. They returned Friday to find more than five times that number, according to police Lt. Col. Kanathud Musiganont.

Our second week of being in Singapore. What a wonderful ministry the Lord is allowing us to have here. We continue to stand amazed at all the opportunities that God continues to put in our paths. It certainly is a joy to serve Him!

Much of our week was spent with Ambassador Baptist Church. This was the week that they conducted their annual Vacation Bible School. We had the opportunity to be the guest speakers aside from participating in all the activities. The Lord used the program and all the volunteer staff to see a wonderful moving of God. Many children came to know Christ through the sound teaching and preaching of the Word of God. A very unique and amazing circumstance was to see the sight of four devout Muslims attending the VBS. The mother and three young boys attended the first day of the program. We thank the Lord that they were able to hear very plainly the Gospel message. This is quite unusual that a Muslim would attend a Christian event of this sort. Generally, Muslims keep their distance from anything not relating to their religion, but we praise the Lord for this open door of opportunity.

It is a well-known fact that thousands of Americans will only darken the door of a church on two Sundays-Christmas and Easter. Gospel Light Baptist Church, after prayerful consideration and planning, chose to host the first annual Eggstraordinary Easter in April 2009. In order to ensure a successful weekend, countless hours were spent carefully planning and preparing. We coordinated the event with our city’s Parks & Recreation Department, and solicited sponsorships from area businesses.
