One of the first of these to accept Bible truth was a girl who lived near the Burmese border. She was born a Buddhist, yet wanted to know about her Creator. Coming into possession of a Bible and a booklet in Thai, she was fired by the message she read and wanted to become a proclaimer of the truth she was learning. With her family, she had joined the Presbyterian Church, and there she asked to be trained as a preacher. But she only met with excuses. Then one day an earnest “special pioneer” Witness appeared on her doorstep. She had already been warned that he was a ‘wolf in sheep’s clothing,’ but since he talked about the Bible she just had to listen and take from him the Thai book “Let God Be True.” He was persistent in calling on her again and again, and did just what she had longed for​—taught her the Bible and how to be a proclaimer of the good news. She, too, became a “pioneer” Witness.

Down in Bangkok, a Thai “pioneer” worker called on a young man who was a member of a typical hardworking ancestor worshiping Chinese family. He, too, was searching. Once again, the combination of an honest heart, the book “Let God Be True” and patient teaching by the Witness produced results. In spite of violent opposition from that large family, he too accepted the liberation call and became a “pioneer” Witness.

In Phitsanulok, central Thailand, a sincere man had become an elder and a preacher in the Presbyterian Church. There was a rift, and his own church broke away from the parent body, but he continued to cycle some fifteen miles (24 kilometers) out there each Sunday to preach. Jehovah’s Witnesses contacted him and he studied the truth with them. Soon he was convinced. He continued his weekly cycle trips, but now to preach Bible truths. The false religious signs were taken down from the church building and it became a real Bible study center. Several other members of the church studied with him, and in due course these also were baptized by Jehovah’s Witnesses.

Then it happened! Kurt and Willi, who were making a preaching “sweep” through northern Thailand, appeared in Chiang Mai with their big bags. A book, in English, fell into the hands of Chomchai, the young and zealous headmistress of the Presbyterian Girls’ School in that city. It was like a match dropping into dry kindling. Out on their bicycles went Chomchai and her companions, searching for those “two Witnesses.” They soon found them, and following hours of discussion, they became free from Babylonish doctrines, such as the Trinity and hellfire-torment teachings. A few months later, a group including Chomchai and the former headmaster of the Presbyterian Seminary were baptized beside a waterfall. Chomchai began translating Bible literature from English into Thai, and until this day she perseveres at this work.
