Baptism for Bethel Church

Coming back at the end of Summer

So we are heading back to the states this summer, well, at the end of the summer that is.  I can't believe it's actually happening already.  So many things we've been missing about California; Mexican food, friends, family, cold weather, John's incredible pizza, American roads and freeways, being able to speak the English language, opportunities to encourage/support and challenge the church.   These are just to name a few.  There are a few things you could keep in your prayers.  The first is that we would finish our ministry here in Thailand well, second is that we are well prepared for our return, and thirdly we are in need for a place to stay.  We are looking for a furnished apartment, or a small house.  This is something we need to give to the LORD and trust that HE will provide...His track record has been pretty good, perfect in fact.  Thank you for all of your prayers and support...we look forward to seeing you soon.

New 7-11

So we just received word that while we were in Chiang Mai they built a new 7-11!

This is big news, we had 2 stores in the past and they built a new one about 7 months ago.  But with the latest addition we have a total of 4.  It's kind of like a mini mall for our family.  We usually are pretty good about making friends as well.  The boys especially.

PHAW

                         

PHAW stands for Pre Home Assignment Workshop.  It is put on by OMF-Overseas Missions Fellowship, I believe that's what it stands for.  It was formerly CIM-China Inland Mission-which was established by Hudson Taylor.  It was an honor to be able to meet missionaries from different organizations, different backgrounds, some working as teachers, counsellors, dorm parents, church planters, and doctors.  However, we all are doing work in SE Asia, working with our Lord advancing the Kingdom of Heaven.

When I first was in the course some people took a little while to get used to me.  But at the end many people were shouting laughing, and during the afternoon shift the teachers actually let me teach the class some dance moves to Toby Mac.

So grateful for the wonderful peopl we met and for the great training we received.
