The following devotion is crafted from Dr Daniel Age’s pulpit notes revised and edited. The occasion was the 9 A M Chapel service for Kawthoolei Karen Baptist Bible School and College (KKBBSC), Mae La Refugee Camp, Tak Province, Thailand. February 10, 2020. The source of these thoughts return to the insights pioneered in Dr Dan’s book Existence and Faith here rediscovered in a “new” text over looked in 2013 &14 study.

Preface

During the four weeks of February (2020) Dr Dan traveled from Mae Sot, Thailand by way of a pickup line bus approximately one hour and 40 minutes north into to mountains to Mae La Refugee Camp where KKBBSC is located in Section C. The Camp is not small. Over 50,000 Refugees from the Karen State live in this encampment. Mae La has been sanctuary for Karen people driven from their homeland over 25 years ago. KKBBSC’s enrollment remains over 400 students. If the threat of violence from the Burmese army was truly past and new agreements were to be signed ensuring peace and security the Karen would gladly return and reclaim their homeland and rebuild their lives.  I was asked to preach for three chapel services during February. Each of my preaching lessons were devoted to a particular aspect of Israel’s Exodus from Egypt. The following article is crafted from my pulpit notes of my first devotion preached on February 10^th

“ By faith he (Moses) forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.” (Hebrews 11:27 ASV) “We walk by faith and not by sight”  (2 Corinthians 5:7)
