Pong Hoiyeepoo

Mr. Weerapong Hoiyeepoo, is often called by his nick name - "Pong". He was born in Angthong province and works in the Child Sponsorship Program office in Bangkok.

I am the youngest of 2 boys. My mother and father are separated and my father has a new family. He never came back to see mom or us again. Mom had to work really hard to support our family. When I finished Grade12, I had to work, so that mom did not have to work again because she was old. Mom also is a diabetic, with high blood pressure, she needs to go to hospital for check-up every month. Now mom lives with my aunts in Angthong.

I worked for a factory in Samut-Sakorn for about 5 years. Then, someone told me about Jesus. This was new to me and I studied it for about 1 year before I opened up my heart to believe and be baptized into the name of the Lord. After that I moved to Bangkok to work. I was a young Christian and lots of people around me were resistant to me. However, I continued to witness to them.

Later on I came to work for a Christian organization, which was an answer to my prayers. I know it is not a co-incidence that I work here. God called me and he chose me to work for Project LIFE Foundation, in the Child Sponsorship Program. I am very happy working for the children, becoming part of their lives and being able to carry some of their burdens. In 2002, I went to do a Discipleship Training School (DTS) in Chiang Mai. We had the opportunity to visit China for 2 weeks on our outreach.

After that our team finished our outreach in Thailand. We went up to Mount Intanon in Chiang Mai, witnessing to Mong tribal people. Mong native people worship dead spirits, nearly all the homes will have idols or pictures of the Gods. When Christians went in to tell them about the good news of Christ, an influential medium in that village received Jesus and this brought a lot of changes to the village. Mong people began to believe in God. Praise Him!

Now, I am more committed to work for Project LIFE Foundation’s Child Sponsorship Program because I want to see the project children believe in Jesus. I want to be God’s channel of blessings, to take the good news of Jesus to the children, so that they will be saved and not only the project children but all the children that I come in contact with through them.
