Thank you for your continued prayers, love, and support. We could not be in ministry without you.</b></p><p>So often since we have been back people ask us our plans. Will we return overseas? What does life look like now? What will our future look like?</p><p>Our answer is always the same, we are trusting the Lord with today and our future. For now we know the Lord has called us to be here and we ask him daily to show us his path for us. We pray for open eyes, open hearts and minds to be able to see where the Lord is moving and creating a space for us to serve.</p><p> We spend a lot of time these days with young adults, mentoring and praying for them as they navigate life and try to discern how the Lord might be calling them. Since CoVid many of our conversations have been online, but we are still meeting students as we can using social distancing. At TMS Global where we serve, cross-cultural workers are coming to us even during this season and being approved to serve all over the world. We have had to make alternate processes for acceptance and training, but God is continuing to open doors. One of the students we took on a Greenlight trip for 2 summers has recently gone to serve as a first-year teacher in Eastern Europe. Though it has its challenges, she is experiencing the fullness of life and abundance of God's grace being obedient to the call to be the salt and light in a hurting world. God is so good.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFpo8m8kt3-U6mU3m1F9c8SkHi0V05Ct7qon3TYGhbeZA1YnIEafYRf_lovZq7Nc6mCquycHAIAuB_-D8YbFD58T5F1wvFdfLFAgD_r-BZnzkl4fcZ0fEDD8SbnR97GtmvTBaiX7VvRKQ/s320/jordan.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="240" data-original-width="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFpo8m8kt3-U6mU3m1F9c8SkHi0V05Ct7qon3TYGhbeZA1YnIEafYRf_lovZq7Nc6mCquycHAIAuB_-D8YbFD58T5F1wvFdfLFAgD_r-BZnzkl4fcZ0fEDD8SbnR97GtmvTBaiX7VvRKQ/s0/jordan.JPG" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Time with young adults</td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrSmpdOkmp4rUUOakY7-wJ2zH3xOFZnmiwrtvIiSicuyBO8bl0HNevrTJPKqrTadpCdY6Kgku7CsXAbKpYM2m1Y7xVbR_EQepHfcKLrbR1JgK1A4QcTyboBNWO7ZuoqkyvjKH-eHGiVfw/s320/greenlight+with+top+2019.jpg" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="240" data-original-width="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrSmpdOkmp4rUUOakY7-wJ2zH3xOFZnmiwrtvIiSicuyBO8bl0HNevrTJPKqrTadpCdY6Kgku7CsXAbKpYM2m1Y7xVbR_EQepHfcKLrbR1JgK1A4QcTyboBNWO7ZuoqkyvjKH-eHGiVfw/s0/greenlight+with+top+2019.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Greenlight 2019</td></tr></tbody></table><p>Each week we are talking with cross-cultural workers from around the world, connecting with them and offering a time for them to feel heard and supported. In America we have had many challenges with CoVid, but our friends in different countries have had deep struggles. One family in East Asia was forced to remain in their apartment complex for months with 3 children, unable to leave. Another said many people were dying on the streets without money to buy food. Life is hard and workers have needed time to share their stories and to be prayed for. We also join virtually with all of the staff at TMS at 8:30am each weekday to pray for workers all over the globe. It has been a gift to us to offer that member care to so many God has called to serve overseas and at home.</p><p>We have also been encouraged by the Lord to neighbor well. We have lived in the same neighborhood for over 20 years. Before we left for Thailand we knew people around us, vaguely. Today as we walk the neighborhood we realize we are getting to know so many people. Many young families have moved here and seem to be seeking community so we can offer encouragement and hospitality to them. We also have many from other cultures including families from Bhutan, Greece, Germany, Venezuela and more. We are also opening our lives and asking for opportunities to learn more and be in community with those who are not like us. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="240" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc6Axe_2uvLZ3KZY_jDkjTuSP6COOQwkWyl3xy-0mw7cZ8D6z5hIEOAdnsentAbK2pNr_w5hcYg252c9YOANTO7NnqryZ28oxXIr-fhzY9qHQa6KtQwhhNeeaDwdg9wr90q9l6xeAJwwY/" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="180" /></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Neighbors<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><p style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;">Since CoVid we also have elderly people that God has given us to care for and walk alongside in deep ways. Once couple in their late 80's and early 90's who lost their only daughter to cancer several years ago have become some of our best friends. The elderly gentleman has struggled with dementia and the road hasn't been easy, but we will never regret the time we have been able to pour into their lives and for all we have learned from them. It is a great blessings to be able to offer ourselves to others and then we recognize in helping others we have been graced with great joy. </p></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We have also been able to offer opportunities for facilitating Discovery Bible Study with different groups. God opened the door for a Facebook Live Bible study for several months with our local church. It took some getting used to facilitate a discussion with only us on camera and comments coming through the chat, but God did end up blessing it for many people and of course for us too. TMS Global is working on a Biblical based series "Who is my Neighbor" that has also been a gift to be able to participate in the development of that project. We believe it will be a blessing for many to use as we explore the Kingdom of God and ask questions and find answers to how we can neighbor well and grow the Kingdom of God where we live, work, and do life.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRANXe98Zwe1luTaJmTh_nrUjqdbzP26bMhqMflHTLb9xZg5FtsTDImJOoBClzG-3Tgfztjy8tohJuZ4HmR5c8TbBwBGSMeMAOpmA4KId28yqm8U_M74fNcUQgGETHUSvobinoDv_FYGc/s320/todd+and+pam+cyprus.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="In Cyprus, January 2020" border="0" data-original-height="240" data-original-width="320" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRANXe98Zwe1luTaJmTh_nrUjqdbzP26bMhqMflHTLb9xZg5FtsTDImJOoBClzG-3Tgfztjy8tohJuZ4HmR5c8TbBwBGSMeMAOpmA4KId28yqm8U_M74fNcUQgGETHUSvobinoDv_FYGc/w320-h240/todd+and+pam+cyprus.JPG" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">From January 2020 in Cyprus, prior to Covid<br /><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><p>This is a bit of our work and life at least for today.

Hello Everyone!<br />
<br />
It has been some time since we last posted an update. So we wanted to catch you up on some of what's been happening with us.<br />
<br />
In the last quarter of 2019 we were spending time visiting colleges and universities, speaking with students interested in serving in missions and those discerning a call to missions. We were scheduled to have three Greenlight gateway teams for this summer. Two of the teams were headed to Thailand and the other to Spain. Hosts in these countries were meeting regularly with us making plans for the arrival in a new culture, for new ministry experiences, all while exploring their own callings. Those teams would have been leaving yesterday, May 30 for the designated country. However, with the current global situation, all of these plans have been put on hold until next summer at the earliest. This has been a huge disappointment for the participants, the hosts, the nationals in these countries they were planning to meet and the TMS Global staff. <br />

Before the CoVid restrictions we were able to visit the Wesley Foundation at Texas Tech where we have developed relationships with students and staff. One of the students we met participated in Greenlight 2019 to Paraguay. We are continuing to walk alongside a number of people in Lubbock, Texas as they discern a call to global ministry<br />

Early in 2020 TMS Global held its second Global Gathering in Cyprus. This is a special event because it brings together all of the CCW's of TMS Global. This is a time of fellowship, worship, growth and education for everyone in the organization. New CCW's are able to bond with others doing similar or vastly different work all around the world. We were able to step back in time and see the place where Barnabas lived and was buried and learn some of the history of the area.<br />

Because we were so close, we couldn't pass up the opportunity to go to Israel for about five days. Five days is not enough, but we packed in many opportunities to see some key places of the area like: Jerusalem, the Sea of Galilee, Mt of Olives, Garden of Gethsemane and a few others. It is hard to put into words how it makes the Bible more alive. If you ever have the opportunity, we think it is a once in a lifetime trip.<br />

Over the past couple months we have continued to walk with those seeking to serve in various places around the world. There are fewer people seeking to reach out right now due to the world environment. Many countries have closed their borders but things things are beginning to open again or a least in the next couple of months will do so. But for all of our people serving, we have been connecting with them. Anxiety and stress levels are all over the place. The is so much uncertainty as to whether visas will be granted or extended, whether borders will open or closed, whether people are allowed outside there residence.<br />
<br />
We have used some of our time to help with member care. We call and have conversations and prayer with our TMS Global family serving the world. God has been faithful allowing many to be able to continue to provide jobs for nationals or food for families or even for our CCW's to share a conversation and prayer about why they choose to live in their country.<br />

WOW! time passes so quickly. We wanted to update all of you on what has been going on with us and how we have seen the Lord at work in the lives of those we are able to walk with on their journey. God has been so gracious to us and placed so many wonderful people in our lives. Many of whom are young and know God has a plan for them and are working to figure out how to live life and be a disciple maker.<br />

Again this past summer we had the opportunity to lead a group of students to Thailand. We call these trips Greenlight Gateway. They are a form of mission trip, but are designed for participants who want to know what international missions looks like, feels like and where to begin. These trips are more about being than doing. This past summer we had five students, one which participated last year and wanted to serve a leader this year. God has always been been present on each of these trips and this year was no exception. We found out from one of our former teammates that a student that has been very active small groups and Sunday worship time had become ill. She was forced to return home from the government boarding school to Pattaya to stay with her mother. We learned she had some sores on her neck that had become open wounds and were not healing. Not only were they not healing but she was getting weaker each day and losing weight. She was hospitalized and given a less than favorable prognosis. We began daily prayer for her that God would intervene and heal her.<br />

We asked a doctor friend if he could offer treatment alternatives for, but her mom didn't want to upset or offend her primary doctor. She was at the point of not being able to walk and barely able to eat. As we prayed for her, her situation began to change. Her appetite gradually returned, the sores on her neck began to heal, her strength began to build and her outlook began to brighten. In the five or so weeks we prayed for her specifically for the sores to heal, we experienced God's grace for this student and his healing power. Although she was not able to return to school before we left, she did make a visit and was on the path to having her life return to a more normal<br />

There was also a friend that serves in Bangkok that was at the end of his current visa. Recent visa renewals for visas have been granted, but only for three months. This makes the process time consuming and expensive since you have to pay the same amount for a three month renewal as you do for a year long visa. Our Greenlight team knew this several weeks in advance and began praying that he would receive a one year extension. We were not the only ones praying for this because he had asked his support base, friends and family to intercede on his behalf. God was faithful again. He received a one year visa. We met with him a couple of days after returning to Thailand. He was so excited and thankful that God had allowed this prayer to be answered.<br />
<br />
<br />
We saw many times the Lord respond with answered prayers. During our trip one of the students felt spiritual oppression in her hotel room. We gathered in her room to pray against the evil forces of darkness. As we gathered, another student felt a similar oppression. Through prayer we did not back down against those forces but prayed for God's protection and he answered.<br />

We prayed for a student in Nepal on a mission trip. She found herself in a time of struggle so we asked our team to agin intercede in prayer for this young lady. Right after our prayers we received a message from her saying, "something just hit me like a burst of light and hope and I knew it was God."<br />
God showed our group over and over that he is faithful if we believe and trust he is with us. The faith of our Greenlight team grew from these encounters and experiences. They truly saw God at work and how faithful he is to us in our times of need and everyday life. We pray that God will continue to grow our faith and the students who shared these experiences with us by giving us the courage and boldness to seek Him and ask him for help in all of our needs. We are continuing to walk alongside these girls and many others as they journey.<br />

We are spending this season preparing for next years trips, walking alongside individuals in discerning, going to universities and churches. We are able to come to speak at your group or church as opportunities arise, sharing about how the Lord is working in Thailand as well as with the people discerning a call to serve him. We have the opportunity to speak to the UMC Spartanburg District Youth September 29. Please join us in prayer as we share about the faithfulness of God and how we all can join him in his mission in our daily lives.<br />
<br />
We appreciate your continued love and support. God is good and faithful, that we know.<br />

We have learned that mobilizing people for mission, to serve throughout the world or even here locally, requires one to wear many different hats. It can range from conversations with people currently serving on the field, to building relationships with others who have very little idea of what missions looks like or can look like. We believe in our organization, TMS Global, their values and how they support those serving on the field. We have had many conversations with people that went into international missions and struggled because they were not prepared. We believe TMS Global does an excellent job of preparing people to live cross culturally and to show Christ in their daily lives in places that can be much different from the USA. Since returning from the field and serving with TMS we have been blessed to mobilize and walk with several CCW's who are now on the field or preparing to depart this year. We feel fortunate to be used by God in expanding his kingdom.<br />

One of these areas of preparation we serve in with TMS is the Greenlight Gateway mission opportunity. We have again been able to be part of this ministry. This is a mission opportunity that targets college students from age 18-23 primarily. The intent of the program is to give these young people a realistic view of what life is like in another context other than their own, as well as discern what God is asking of them. Over the past three years we have concentrated on trips to Thailand. However, this year we are expanding and have trips planned for the Balkens, Paraguay and Thailand. This year we have 17 people participating in Greenlight including participants and leaders. We ask for your prayers for each of these trips, that God will speak to each person as to what this means for their life. These trips will be from early June through early August.<br />

<br />
A second area of preparation is what we call Greenlight Now. In our conversations with churches and young people, we realized the need that high school aged students want to have cross cultural experiences and opportunities also. This month (March 22-24) we are spending a weekend in Clarkston, GA with a mission organization that works in the neighborhoods and apartment complexes to provide a cross cultural experience here in the USA for high school ages. Clarkston is said to be the most culturally diverse square mile in the US, so this sounds like the perfect place. We ask that you pray also for this weekend and those participating and leading.<br />
<br />
We continue to visit universities and colleges to speak with students and share parts of our lives that peak their curiosity. On a recent visit to a college we participated in an international festival as part of their mission week. At the table beside us were some students who's parents had immigrated from Thailand to the US. Some had never been to Thailand and wanted to know about our experiences there. Several want to eventually serve in the country of their ancestors.<br />
<br />
In February we participated in a Global Impact Celebration at Pierce Chapel UMC. We were able to share with different groups over the course of the weekend about our ministry in Thailand, mobilizing for the Body for Christ and our Greenlight opportunities. It was a blessing to be able to share this mission minded congregation seeking to go deeper in following Christ and his call.<br />

She is able to keep up with her Thai friends each week so we are thankful for technology to allow for friendships worldwide.</span><br />

We were able to get our whole family together for a few hours this month. Since Ashley has moved to LA we aren't able to see one another very often so we are praising God for our brief, but meaningful time together. We have all learned that moments together are precious and even without much time, family bonds can be deepened and tended to.<br />

This year we have worked to expand the Greenlight Gateway program and will offer four experiences instead of one. Two will go to Thailand, one focusing on teaching English as a second language and the other a broader experience of culture and ministry. We also have teams going to Kosovo and Paraguay. It is exciting to see how the Lord is blessing this program and to be a part of it</span>. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggNrkGXW-HrvG7Vwfo65fkeY41SWrjn0uWvteoMQp8CxIxa7j1vyhrL0sT9UTDur_GceJbCAoOXnc0N9lH_luU5tNxOKRHw8zq9E4gjMy1PDRq87iWECR0bELVae1cjQXINvl1VXSt0Ls/s1600/IMG_0222+%25281%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><br /></a><br />

Another great joy for us as mobilizers with TMS-Global is to walk alongside newly appointed cross-cultural workers as they are training, preparing and raising funds to serve on the field. We know from first hand experience some of the stress involved with this process as well as the first few months after arrival to the field. We are assigned to people preparing to serve and contact them regularly during their time of preparation as well as their arrival. We are able to share practical wisdom such as what to take to the field, to saying goodbyes, to helping with budgets. We also use this time to pray with them and for them. One of our "people" is Brooke who attended Greenlight in Thailand two summers ago. She has recently landed in Thailand and is adjusting to life there. Brooke plans to spend two years serving in CoLab with TMS where she will work with our teammates and teach/build relationships with our Thai students. It has been a great blessing to be there for her and others during the times of transition.</div>

Hannah Grace had a very happy reunion with her Thai sister CJ! Both had grown up over the past 8 months, but they picked right back up where they left off. We feel fortunate and blessed to be able to keep up many of our friendships and treasure our Thai adopted family.<br />

This is our 3rd year having the opportunity to host the Greenlight Gateway program through TMS-Global. This year we took 7 college aged students from all over the country to Thailand, along with a leader who is currently a second year student at Asbury Seminary. The trip was a blessing for the students as it gave them opportunities to be spiritually formed and hear from the Lord. It is amazing and we get the chance to see first hand, people get out of their comfort zones and in new contexts they are often able to hear more clearly from God. Their experiences had a lot of time with Thai nationals, many who are Buddhist. These exchanges allowed them to learn about a culture of people much different from theirs, but also with many similarities.<br />

Each one was impacted and felt stirrings from God in their walk with him. Most of them feel like the Lord is calling them to serve either in the US or internationally whenever the time is right. God grew them on this trip and we are grateful for his presence. We had challenges along the way, but the time was meaningful for everyone.<br />

The trip was also a blessing for the American and Thai missionaries serving in Thailand. The group was able to bring small gifts from the US and offer them encouragement. Each missionary unit spent time with the group sharing what life is like on the field. Most of the students were interested in what were the hardest parts and the best parts of serving cross culturally. Usually the differences in food and availability of food and language barriers were the common sources of stress as well as being so far from loved ones. Encouragement came from the relationships with the Thai people and the opportunity to share the love of Christ and to get to learn and do many new things!</div>

The Greenlight experience is designed to help students discerning a call to mission to see what living as a cross cultural worker is really like. The trip includes some hard parts of ministry including a prayer walk through one of the slums of Bangkok. This along with a prayer walk in the Redlight district and a visit to an orphanage were some of the most challenging parts for the group. These experiences helped them to see the needs and burdens that exist in the culture. Here are a few testimonies of our group participants:<br />

<span style="background-color: #f1f0f0; color: #4b4f56; font-family: , , , ".sfnstext-regular" , sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">This summer, to say the least, was eye opening and challenging. From having no personal space on public transportation, to eating bugs and mystery meat, to the smells of a Bangkok street, and to the fact that no one seemed to speak english, it was different and at times frustrating. In the midst of all the differences and chellenges I saw God working in the culture. He was using many different people in such a variety of ways. I think this trip really showed me God's heart for all people and his desires for us to use the gifts he has given to go and make disciples.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #f1f0f0; color: #4b4f56; font-family: , , , ".sfnstext-regular" , sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">This was an experience that I was not totally expecting. I knew I had to limit my expectations about how this trip would go. I knew I would be learning about culture, about ministry, and about myself. But I didn’t really dive into dreamland of how I expected this trip to teach me. But I know I wasn’t expecting such big changes about myself or God’s call in to my life. Everyone had a different experience, for God works in a multitude of ways. But for me he opened my eyes to things I was holding in the way of Him and his call in my life: obedience, hope, and trust. There is still work to be done. But this trip as opened up a bigger chapter in my life!</span><br />

Many of the Thai people we know and love came, sometimes long distances, to see us while we were in Thailand. We were reminded of the power of love and that when you build relationships in the name of Jesus amazing bonds are created. Despite distance, culture and language barriers God can form beautiful friendships and community.<br />

Since working in mobilization we have been blessed with the chance to walk alongside some really wonderful people the Lord is calling to missions. One in particular is Graysen (pictured above), who arrived to start his term with TMS serving out of the Muang Thai church in Bangkok. It was a great joy to see him on that side of the world and to be there his first Sunday to introduce him to our students and friends from the church. He will now be able to share life and his passion of discipleship which the Lord has called him to among the least reached in Thailand<br />

Again we are so grateful for you and for your prayers for us and for the Thai people. We were in Thailand while the young boys were trapped in the cave. Knowing that so many people in the world were praying for them and for the country was an incredible gift to us and to the Thai people. We join you in celebration that all were rescued. We are sure the Lord is moving there and look forward to what he will continue to do in this land that he loves.<br />

We wanted to give you an update on what we have been up to and to invite you to join us in prayer for this season.</b><br />
<br class="Apple-interchange-newline" />
Our US based mission work with TMS-Global has been life giving. We have been able to connect with people who are discerning a call to serve in missions. Having just gone through the process we are blessed to be able to share with them first hand experiences and pray with them and for them. As it turns out two of the young adults we have been walking alongside are being called to serve in Thailand! God is good and we do see he has a plan for us to continue to expand his kingdom and invite others to join him in his mission around the world.<br />
<br />

We have had many opportunities to speak at churches and groups since being home. It is always a joy and privilege to share about what the Lord is doing in Thailand and around the world. If it wasn't for your support and prayers we would not have had the opportunity to serve and to continue to serve in mobilizing other's to hear and discern the Lord's call in their own life. We know not everyone is called to serve internationally, but we are all called to join Jesus in his mission and make disciples. We believe the Lord can use us in expanding his kingdom. "Thank you" doesn't seem like enough to express the deep gratitude we feel towards you. We pray the Lord has blessed you in the journey and that you feel a part of this kingdom work.<br />

We have been blessed to reconnect with family and friends and enjoyed the many conveniences of home, but we also miss our Thai friends and now family to us. Fortunately with the internet we are able to keep up with them and continue to be part of their lives.<br />

We will be the hosts for the Greenlight Gateway program in Thailand again this year. For the past 2 years we have hosted students discerning a call to mission in Thailand for a 4 week experience. This year we will again be hosts, but we will be traveling with them! We will take 7 University students and one leader who is in Seminary at Asbury June 7 through July 6. It will be wonderful for us to get back to Thailand and see everyone as well as the opportunity to walk with these young adults as they are getting out of their comfort zone and hearing from the Lord. Please pray for our trip and that God uses it for his glory.<br />

Several life-giving opportunities we have had was the chance to go to Colombia, South America where we met with other cross cultural workers from the Americas in order to get to know them and to create the space for chances to meet with people who are called to serve the Lord on the mission field. Hannah Grace was able to be with other MKs (Missionary Kids) which is beneficial for her since these are other kids who "get what life is like" living overseas.<br />

<br />
Our sending agency TMS-Global also required us to do a debrief upon returning to the US. This was a 5 day experience in Colorado which gave us a chance to be with others who are experiencing many of the same emotions after serving overseas. We have left our future open to the Lord's call on our lives, but we feel like this season the Lord has asked us to return to the US. We are being obedient to him and believe our work with helping others hear the call of the Lord on their lives, to join Him in his mission in the world is where he wants us to be. Already the Lord has affirmed this journey for us by the connections we have made and the people he is putting in our path. Our prayer is that through our work and witness many more will hear the call of God on their own lives and serve him wherever he leads. We will be visiting churches, universities and sharing life with individuals who are feeling called.<br />

Although we feel confirmation from the Lord that we are following his leading it has still been difficult being so far away from our Thai friends and that we also now call family.

As part of our new role as mobilizers we will be taking 7 college students from the US to Thailand for the month of June this year. This will be our third year hosting students in Thailand and we look forward to being able to see all of our Thai friends and encouraging their walks with the Lord. God has been gracious in these past experiences in allowing the students to hear from him so please join us in prayer that this summer will be transformative for the ones on a journey of discernment to serve in missions.</div>

We have had many chances to speak to individuals and churches about the Lord's work in Thailand and across the world. It has been our joy and privilege to share how the Kingdom of God is growing. We want to have time with each of you who are interested, to catch up on your life and to share about this journey that many of you have been part of. We could not have and still could not continue to serve in ministry without your prayers and financial support. Thank you so very much. We pray the Lord will bless you richly as you bless us.</div>

Blessing to each of you. There have been many praises over the past few months in ministry in Thailand. God is good and he is faithful. We were able to continue to have students come to our home on Tuesdays for English Club. There were 6 new students who came regularly and joined our regular group We enjoyed being able to spend time with them. Our days included snacks, cooking, music, games, lots of laughter and sharing. This gave the students a chance to speak English in a comfortable, loving environment. "Teaching" English in this conversational/relational method produced fruit and deep relationships which we believe is a great model for others to follow.

Several years ago God have us a vision of opening a coffee shop where students could come to practice English and have a safe, comfortable environment where we could build relationships with them. Doors never opened for us to pursue this in Roi Et, but we continued to believe it was something the Lord had put on our hearts. When the Greenlight gateway students 2 years ago came to Thailand our Thai teammate Kat asked if we could go to the community Nong Phok where a Christian couple had left their comfortable life in Bangkok to move to the small rural community to build a coffee shop in front of an existing church. The church has struggled for years and only had 5 members. The couple hoped to build the shop for sustainability and to grow the church. We took the American group to the shop, unfinished at that time, to pray over the space and ministry. God laid on our hearts that this is the area we were to invest in. We asked if we could come one day a week to teach English classes and hopefully grow business and the opportunity for people to hear the Good News. The community was 1 hour and 20 minutes from our home, but we knew it was something the Lord was calling us to. We took some of the Roi Et students for a "mission" day and cleaned the church so the doors could be reopened. Last December we took the Roi Et team and drama team to the Nong Phok church for Christmas, over 150 community members were present. For the next year we, our family, went weekly to teach students, encourage the Thai couple living there and to share our lives with the people in the community. Todd and Hannah Grace taught the younger students with as many as 40 kids showing up. Pam spent time with high schoolers, teaching them and encouraging them.<br />

The Lord has blessed these efforts and the church membership is slowly growing. Kids come to the shop each week to learn English and be loved on. The Thai couple offers food, love and encouragement to the students and their families. They recently told us when they started the shop they had prayed for the Lord to help them start ministry, they weren't sure how to do it. That was around the time the Lord put on our hearts to go and help there. God is faithful. A missionary couple who recently went to Thailand to serve in the Northern area has now felt the Lord speak to them to move to this community Nong Phok and work there in full time ministry, pouring into the Thai people and sharing the Good News.</div>

The people in the village live with little resources, but they seem to live contently. The community takes care of each other and share rice with one another. We have been so blessed to be part of this community and pray for the light and love of Jesus to pour over it. In the village many of the children come to the English Learning center to learn english and also study the word of God and experience the love of Jesus in a caring faith community.</div>

One was Patdy, our Thai teammate who we have worked alongside for 4 years. She has loved Jesus for three years and has been following him, but she had been worried about talking to her parents about her faith. Patdy asked for prayer for her mom's heart when she shared the news. God had softened her parent's hearts. Although they are Buddhist they affirmed Patdy and said they already knew she had been following a different faith. They supported her decision to be baptized and follow Jesus. This was a great blessing and relief for Patdy. Please continue to pray for Patdy and her family as she bears witness to them about the freedom of life in Christ.<br />

He put on both of our hearts, at different times, we were needed to return to the US for a season. Although we have adjusted to living in Thailand and are involved in fruitful ministry we could not ignore the nudges we were feeling from the Lord. </span><br />

Several months later we learned that both of our dads faced serious health problems. We have learned a great deal from the Thai people, one thing being honoring our parents. We decided that we needed to return home at least for now. We will spend this time in the US, helping with our family and their needs. TMS-Global has asked us to work with them in the area of mobilization, helping in the discernment process as people are being called to serve Jesus. We have already been involved in this work during our term in Thailand so we visualize this as a continuation and opportunity to help more laborers who are called to bring the name of Jesus to the world. Our work in mobilization with TMS-Global will give us the chance to continue serve in ministry and mission, but we will continue to have to raise our own support to do this work. We are so grateful for God using you to provide for our needs while on the field and we are praying we will continue to get what we need to do his work in the US.</div>

We have had a season of goodbyes for now that has been beautiful, but also very hard. We have developed close relationships with our Thai teammates and friends so leaving is never easy. We are grateful for the seeds that have been planted and are expecting the Lord to continue to tend to their hearts. We are blessed to share that in each of the ministries we have been involved with, there is now new missionaries coming or already there to fill in the gaps. We continue to support them and walk alongside them in their serving Jesus in Thailand.<br />

Greenlight students have arrived and departed. Where did the month go? We had a great time hosting the three Greenlight Gateway students and their leader. They were able to experience many things about Thai people, language, food, religion, environment and entertainment. They had one on one time with Thai nationals as well as expats who live and work at various places in Thailand. They came with open minds and open hearts, so the Lord was able to grow them in his grace and their understanding of bringing the hope and love of Christ to all nations.<br />

This was the second year of TMS-Global's Greenlight Gateway program where students ages 18-24 who are wanting to explore a call to missions spend a month in another country with those serving cross culturally to experience what life is like and how the Lord is moving in the world. The aim of the program is for spiritual formation of students as well as personal growth. It has been our privilege to host the past two years in Thailand and to be able to come alongside these beautiful kids who have hearts for the Lord and for the Kingdom. Throughout the weeks we were able to see their hearts and minds open even more and their worldview expanded. They shared with us that their time here was valuable to their personal and spiritual walks and continue to plan to serve in mission in some way. We will continue to pray for them and support them as their life journeys continue.<br />

The students were involved daily in learning as well as serving capacities. They shared what they loved the most was the relationships they formed with the students we serve. They were able to spend almost 2 weeks in Roi Et and see the same students over that period of time so that was helpful in building relationships. The Thai students here were happy to practice English and make new friends. There were some tears shed as the Americans left, along with lots of Facebook friend requests. :)<br />

One of the components of the trip was to join a Christian Day Care operation where we spent the morning working with the kids who come each day. These are children whose families live in the adjacent slum. The aim of the program is to get these students ready for first grade. Many of them have disabilities and are in great poverty, but we left feeling joyful and appreciative of the chance to be with them. We also were able to walk through the slum and pray with elderly Thai people whom the director of the program has relationships with. It was a challenging experience; the smells, trash and poor sanitation conditions were overwhelming at times, but again the light of Jesus was present as the Buddhist residents allowed us in their homes and accepted our prayers.<br />

With a gift from a church in Georgia we were able to purchase a grill. Patdy and Kat have been going out one day a week after school to sell mini pork burgers to the students. They have had some profits and have also used the time they are selling to make relationships with students and invite them to study English in our program. Please continue to pray for their efforts and that they will be able to continue to find ways to financially sustain their ministry in Roi Et.</div>

We have several new students coming to our home now after being encouraged by some of the regular attending students. It is always fun to learn about them and to see how quickly the shyness melts when they realize we truly care about them. We pray that in our relationships and showing love to them they will feel the love of Christ and have a desire to get to know him personally.<br />
<br />
We are so grateful to so many of you for your prayers and support to us. We could not be serving the Lord in Thailand without you. Thank you for being on this journey with us.<br />

Prayer Requests<br />
<br />
We would ask for your prayers for the Thai ministry team and for the students that attend the programs. Pray that the Lord would continue to work on their hearts and that they would be open to His love and grace.<br />
<br />
Please pray for this term where we are continuing Discovery Bible Study in the gospel of Mark and our Easter celebration in September.<br />
<br />
For more laborers to serve here in Roi Et and for ministry sustainability for the Thai workers.<br />
<br />
For our family as we are approaching the end of our first term serving in Thailand we ask for prayers for discernment and wisdom as we follow the Lord's call on our lives.</div>

We recently finished the annual Academic camp where we hosted 21 students primarily from Roi Et in Bangkok at the Muang Thai Church. Students come to Bangkok for a month where they live in community, receive tutoring in academic subjects and English and also have opportunities to attend devotions and worship. Many of you are aware of this as you saw the names and in our last blog and prayed for these students individually. We appreciate the prayers for the the students as well as the staff and speakers that interacted and shared life experiences and testimonies.<br />

<br />Most of the students at camp live in a boarding school operated by the government for low income families nine months of the year. Many do not have the opportunity to go home but 1-2 times per year to see family members. Those that have family in Roi Et are generally grandparents or other extended family members, with females begin the primary caregivers. This year the majority of the speakers were males which we believe was a good witness for the all of the students. Devotion speakers shared their faith and life experience including successes and failures. Their witness to how God has moved in their lives and to see them today still trusting that God is with them, loves them and cares about their lives was touching to the students. In a Buddhist nation the opportunity for students to hear firsthand about Thai believer's faith in Jesus and how he has impacted lives can have eternal value to these precious youth.<br />

<br />Most of all camp is a time to be in community with students. The environment is relaxed and the opportunity to interact with them in a different settings allows you to get to know them better and to build a bond of trust in a short span of time. There were times of joy and times of tears by the end of our camp time together. </div>

We are excited to be hosting the Greenlight Gateway students again this year. There are three college students, one male and 2 females and one leader coming this year. They plan to arrive in Thailand in early June and stay for 4 weeks. These are student who are discerning God's call in their lives and are coming to see how the Lord speaks into their hearts and lives about serving him on the mission field. Please join us in prayer as we host this group.</div>

The Thai students are finishing up their current school year. Since March to May are the hottest months of the year this is the time for summer break for the students. Our family recently had the last gathering until after camp at Nong Phok, the church in the community about 1 hour and 20 minutes from where we live, where we go weekly to teach English and love the kids there. We served them pizza, pepperoni or seafood flavors. The favorite was seafood, with ketchup on it. It was a blessing watching them enjoy it. </div>

Most times there are between 30 to 45 students who show up to learn and be in community. God has blessed this time together. One of the Thai men who owns the coffee shop connected to the church has been coming up to read Bible stories to the children in Thai. We also pray with them. Please join us in prayer for this ministry and for more workers to come serve in this community.</div>

We have been trying to model affirmation for the students and to show them how building up each other in community is important. We had the students who come to our home each week take turns sitting in the "special" seat, where others took time giving them affirmations. There were many smiles and tears during this time. God is good.<br />

The camp in Bangkok is about to start. We are planning on taking a group of 23 to Bangkok for March and April for a four week camp. Students arrive in Bangkok March 11 and will stay at the Muang Thai Church. The team has been preparing for the camp and the theme this year is "You are what you believe". Each week has a different focus- You are able, You are special, You have choices and You are a Child of God. We have asked Believers to come lead devotions each morning for the students. We have asked them to weave in their testimonies and stories to share with the students. Please join us in prayer that these times will be fruitful in sharing the hope and love of Jesus for these Buddhist students. </div>

We would like to share the nicknames of each student attending camp and would ask you to put them on your daily prayer list. God hears prayers and we covet your prayers more than anything else. It doesn't matter if you can pronounce the names :). God knows them because they are already his.</div>

We were able to meet our whole family in England for a few days at Christmas so that was our biggest gift. It was a treasure having all of the children with us and our time was full of joy and gratitude. We are so thankful for this opportunity. One highlight was being able to take communion together as a family at John Wesley's chapel. This was the first time our children had ever used a common communion cup, so that in itself was quite a different and memorable experience!<br />

For the past few months we have been able to continue to work in the lives of the students who come to our home as well as students and families we know and meet. For the advent season the team focused on Luke 1:78-79 which is Zechariah's prophecy that Jesus is to give light to those who live in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace. The teachings we focused on for Advent dealt with issues the student's selected as problems in Issan culture and how Jesus and the Word of God speaks to these areas. Problems they listed were financial issues, (especially with the fall in the price of rice), debt, problems in their family, alcoholism, corruption and not feeling loved and nurtured by family. Each week we talked about one of these issues and went to what the Bible said and how to deal with these problems. Our Thai teammate Patdy wrote an Issan drama that interweaved all of the issues with the hope found in the coming of Jesus. It was a powerful testimony and we believe the Lord used it to speak to hearts.</div>

Ashley and Noah were able to come and spend some time with us in Roi Et during the holidays. It was a joy having them participate in ministry and life with us. Hannah Grace choreographed a dance for the Christmas program for eight 6-7 year old girls from Banon. She worked with them weekly for six weeks and it was indeed a blessing to get to witness her use her gifts and talents with the Thai students. It brought her great joy to teach these girls.</div>

Since this past July The Lord had put on our hearts the need to visit a new community, Nong Phok, about one hour and 20 minutes from Roi Et. This is a poor community with a church that was started as an outreach from the Muang Thai Church years ago. The church only has 5 members and has not been active or thriving for some time. A Christian Thai couple felt the calling to go to this area and build a coffee shop outside the church. The coffee shop provides a place where people can come and have an opportunity to learn about Christ in a relaxed environment. The goal is to invite them to church to experience the power of the Holy Spirit and the Kingdom of God. </div>

We felt the Lord calling us to go to Nong Phok and start investing in student's lives there, so we began going to offer free English classes at the coffee shop. From the beginning we have had 30-45 students almost every week. It has been a tremendous blessing and the Lord even opened a door so that Kat, our Thai teammate, suggested we bring the Christmas drama to the church. There were over 150 people there on December 18 to hear the good news in drama and by a Thai Pastor. God is so faithful and we are excited to see what fruit this might bring to the people of Nong Phok.</div>

We brought some artificial snow from America for the students to be able to experience what real snow feels like. Hannah Grace has enjoyed helping Todd with the younger students who are in 4th grade. Some days they have had up to 35 students attending the English class after school, each of them appear to be eager to learn and extremely grateful of the opportunity.<br /><br /><br />

Following our time with students at the March camp and recognizing their desire to know more about Jesus, we prayed for the Lord to lead us in what that could look like. After prayer and conversation with others who have discipled well, we felt led to consider a way for the Thai students to get into the Word of God. We spent the first 2 weeks of the last term introducing and modeling the Discovery Bible Study with our teammates and students. Our Thai teammate Kat was excited about the tool to help disciple students and bring them into God's word.<br />

During this past school term God has produced 2 new Bible studies with students in the village areas. These increasing older students are now helping disciple the younger students on Sunday mornings. We have around 20 Thai students who are eager to come and get into God's word and to share with the younger students. Each older students is taking a group of 2-5 younger Thai students and doing small group time with them. The last time we were there close to 100 Thai students were present and in the word. We have been studying the Gospel of Mark.<br />

We were also blessed this past month to be able to host a group of 6 college students and 2 leaders from the US for a Greenlight project from TMS. These are students from various parts of the US who wanted to come to discern a call to missions. They spent 3 weeks with us in Bangkok and Roi Et learning about the culture, seeing the needs and getting to know the Thai people. They spent time in a variety of settings meeting and spending time with our Thai friends.<br />

God is amazing how he worked through the group and opened their minds and hearts to him. We could see the Lord growing the team in their expansion of the comfort zones as well as their willingness to love and serve him. We were able to pour out love for each of them and they all felt the love of God through us. Now the team is in India where they will continue their learning and cultural awareness and return home in 1 week. Please continue to pray for the Greenlight students and leaders as the Lord is growing them.<br />

We went with the group to India for a few days before returning to the US for our time at home so it was a blessing getting to see the new culture for us, and meeting some incredible Indian people. <br />
<br />
<br />
We are now home in the US until September. We are spending time with our family and also will be speaking about our time in Thailand and what the Lord is doing there. Greenville will be our home base during our stay. We would love to see you and share more of our life with you as well as getting to hear about your lives.<br />
<br />
<b>Thank you all for your love and support.</b><br />

Hello everyone. We hope you are all doing well. Thanks for taking a moment to read about what has been happening in our part of the world. It is summer for the Thai schools and believe me we are feeling it :). The temperatures have been over 100 degrees F most days and with the humidity and heat index it feels like 117 F. This is the primary reason for a different school schedule in Thailand since many of the schools do not have air conditioning. The heat has been a challenge, but God is good and we are surviving it.<br />

<span style="text-align: center;">Thirty-seven students from Roi Et came to Bangkok mid-March to mid-April for the 4 week long annual academic camp. This is the 23rd camp that has been held so it is a long tradition with the Roi Et ministry. This year although the students had academic and English classes the Lord provided many opportunities for them to hear about and experience the love of Christ. Each morning we had worship, where Noah helped with the praise band, and devotions with speakers. The theme of the camp was goals, focusing on education, family, finance, and jobs. We prayed about who would lead devotions and as it turned out all the speakers were believers who were able to share about the goals from a Christian perspective. Over and over the students heard about how God had worked in their personal lives and heard testimonies of his faithfulness. We had teachers, doctors, business owners, youth leaders, couples just married, single Thai men etc..people came from all walks of life to share with the students. </span><br />

Easter was during camp so the students were able to attend Good Friday and Easter celebrations at the church. Several of them volunteered to perform in a skit written by our Thai teammate Patdy about the resurrection of Christ. We were able to take the students to see the movie "Risen"; it was in English with Thai subtitles. The movie seemed to touch the hearts of many of them. Also we just had a lot of time for fellowship and deepening relationships with students. So many of them are starving for love and affirmation. In two particular students, a brother and sister who live at the boarding school and whose mom is now in jail, we sensed their need for affirmation and love. Most of the time, for four weeks, the younger girl was right by our side. We also tried to affirm them in that they have a hope and a future in Christ. Despite the cultural and language barriers we feel certain the students know we love them and that the love we share is the love we receive from Christ. We started getting the question from the students, why did you come to Thailand? It was our chance to again share about God and his call on our lives.<br />

Through all of these events we could sense God was moving in the student's hearts. Two of them who had been coming to our home each week for the past year, came to camp with us. This was the first time they were able to hear the good news of the gospel in depth. Toward the end of camp one of them, one of the very strongest Buddhist people we know, said, " I think with God and Buddha the impossible can be possible in my life". For us, this was confirmation of God's grace and movement. Her heart is opening.<br />

The final Sunday at worship, the day before the students were to head back, Pastor Life gave an invitation for those who were interested in opening their hearts to Jesus to stand up. Two people from the congregation stood, but <b>almost all</b> of the Roi Et students stood up, claiming their desire to know Jesus. It was an incredible moment for us to see the Lord at work. We have been praying for months that God would bring hundreds of people in Roi Et to come to know him. Quite honestly, in the Buddhist nation we live in where faith is so often tied to being Thai and tradition, that prayer seems very bold. It wasn't until camp, when we saw so many students opening their heart did we see that God is answering this prayer. We considered if these students are discipled and each bring one to Christ that is 70+. If each of those are discipled and bring one to Christ, that is 140+. Multiplication of the gospel. It might seem like a ambitious goal, but we serve a big God who is at work here. We will continue to offer students a time to come to our home, our English teaching opportunities, and our lives in fellowship with Thai students, but we believe our greatest calling will be discipleship and spreading the good news of Jesus to those we are relationship with. We are already in conversations and prayer about what that looks like and how God wants to use us.<br />

Please join us in prayer for hundreds of believers in Roi Et, for these particular students to hear more about the gospel and good news of Jesus Christ. Pray that we will have opportunities for discipleship especially with the older students so that they in turn can disciple their peers and the younger students.<br />

We continue to lead conversation in our home with a core group of about eight students. We feel like they have grown in their ability and confidence to speak not only with us but others. One example, we were having class one day and a visitor came to our door. I (Todd) went to the door and the gentleman was telling me someone was trying to get in contact with me but I could figure out the rest of what he was saying and I didn't recognize the name of the person. I turned around to ask one of the students for help and they were all right there and began telling me what he had said. In fact one of the quietest students was in front translating. They seem to be comfortable around us and know we care for them. We also feel that some of them are getting closer to being ready to hear some of God's word. They are inquisitive about our Bibles and books on our bookshelves. We pray for them consistently and for the Holy Spirit to lead them to him.<br />

For Valentine's Day we used conversation hearts that were provided by one of our good friends as a way to make speaking English fun. We also played a modified version of Truth or Dare. They all had a great time, but the candy was a bit sweet for them.<br />

The Wednesday night and Sunday worship and study has been going very well. We did lessons on being a new creation in Christ since we had the first Sunday after New Year's. We discussed ways we are all similar and they ways we are different. We showed them pictures of snowflakes and that each one is different. We passed out coffee filters and had them make a snowflake from it. They decorated it with watercolor markers and and made beautiful butterflies out of them to illustrate we are all new creations in Christ.<br />

Another week, we talked about sin. We illustrated this by putting glow gel on the students hands, then putting their hands under a black light to fluoress the gel. We had them only rinse their hands with water then repeat putting them under the black light. Finally, we had them wash their hands with soap and repeat putting them under the blacklight. We were actually teaching them about hygiene as well as sin. The more important discussion came when we asked how do you clean the inside from sin? We gave them Bible verses to show them what the bible has to say. They opened Bibles, read, asked questions, had us repeat scripture as they followed along and drew pictures. We are encouraged by many of the responses by students. We continue to ask God for discernment and guidance as we journey along with these students. We thank you for your prayers for them and us as well as the entire ministry team here.<br />

Students attended the Christmas event where they sang songs, watched a drama written by Thai Team member Patdy and performed by the students. The drama portrayed the miracles of Jesus, the crucifixion of Jesus and then his birth. It was all in Essan which is the heart language of the people in Roi Et. The play was moving and was contextualized to the Thai worldview. It was the first time some of them had heard about Jesus' life and story.<br />

Following the play Dr. Ubolwan Mejudhon, one of the founders of the ministry, came and spoke to the students about how Jesus is here ready to enter into their lives if they ask him. Many students stood up that night and wanted to pray to Jesus.<br />

Reflections from Hannah Grace~<br />

"I was glad that I was able to help hand out presents to the Thai students. Just to see the look on their faces was enough. Even though the gifts were small they brought a lot of joy. I kept thinking this is the only Christmas they will have and they have such happiness. "<br />

One of the observations we have is the sharing that takes place after the boxes are open. The Thai students share things with one another so that each one will have something they like or can use.</div>

At the end of September we gathered in Albania for a pre-conference training on coaching. We have been asked to serve in Community Care for SouthEast Asia, so we reach out regularly to others serving in our part of the world. The strategies we learned about coaching are helpful and we have already started using some of what we learned. In this technique the goal is for the coach is to listen and to ask questions that lead the person to talk through their situation and see things in things they might not have seen before.<br />
<br />
The process is one where through prayer the Holy Spirit often brings the new insight and processing as well as healing and movement toward a future goal or resolution. It is really powerful. After one of the trainings I took Noah for a walk and started trying to coach him by asking questions. He finally said, "Is this what you learned about in that class?, Why do you keep asking me questions? You aren't very good at this!". It is harder than you think. <br />
<br />
The conference was an amazing time for all of us with 129 folks serving all over the world in attendance. We worshiped and fellowshipped together, as well as attending breakout sessions. The Bible study for the week was the book of Ephesians, we heard sermons and also participated in inductive Bible study. It was a blessing to study again the words of Paul to the people of Ephesus, the book addresses so many themes that are relevant and important for today such as the need for Unity and the importance of Spiritual Protection. We felt renewed and encouraged after the study. It felt good to connect with other's serving cross culturally to hear their challenges and also their praise stories. We made a lot of reconnections and also met new friends.<br />

There were 39 MK's in attendance. Hannah Grace bonded immediately with several girls in her age range serving in India, Spain and Africa. She attended the program for kids and learned about how to cope with struggles of being on the field and how to be a witness for Christ. She sang in worship with the large group and performed several skits, (no surprise there :) She had sleepovers in the hotel with a groups of 7 girls a couple of times. This time was really life-giving for her.<br />
<br />
Noah had 6 teenagers in his group, serving in Africa and Jordan and Asia. He also met a guy Aaron from the UK who had come to help with the leadership team. Noah enjoyed playing the guitar with Aaron who is a songwriter and performer as well as a witness for Christ in Spain. Noah and his group wrote a song and performed it for the group the last night. <br />

We were able to spend a few days in Rome on the way to the conference. We stayed at a Monestary Guest House which close to the city, simple and clean and not as expensive as most places. It was incredible for all of us to see firsthand the beauty and history of Rome that Hannah Grace and Noah have studied about. We had the opportunity to visit the Colosseum, the Vatican and many Basilicas. It was a blessing attending an Italian Mass at St Paul's Basilica on a Sunday morning. Paul's remains are laid in this Basilica. Rome felt much more like home to us and we ate as much delicious Italian pizza as possible. We are thankful to God for this opportunity.<br />

The camp held in March is an "academic" camp, this one is shorter in length and called a "moral" camp. We had 24 students in attendance. The theme of the camp was "Think and Thank". The team spent a lot of time praying over what we should present to the kids. Most of them had not heard about the death and resurrection of Jesus so we felt led to cover this. Pastor Life was able to teach each morning and did a remarkable job explaining the sacrifice of Christ. The team members took turns also teaching and adding whatever the Lord put on their hearts. In the afternoons the students were able to go serve (best place to find Jesus :). Each day they did a different service activity. They went to a Children's home for handicapped kids, arranged a game day at the church for the slum kids next door, and gave out free water at a park to people riding bikes and exercising.

One morning Todd and I spoke about the Resurrection and used the Resurrection Eggs to illustrate the story of Jesus. We put the students in pairs and gave them each an egg and asked them to see what was inside and talk about how it relates to the story. We had some Thai Bibles out and showed them in the Bible the scripture references for the story. In the evening during sharing time several of the students said that what was most meaningful for them that day was we had shown them how to use the Bible. One girl student said, "Thank you for teaching me how to open the Bible". It was an incredible affirmation that the Holy Spirit was at work, he used what we thought was a side note (having Bibles to look up scripture) as the big thing. God is good and he will use us in ways we don't even expect.</div>

The students were able to watch "The Passion of Christ" in Thai one evening. We also showed the "Everything" skit from the internet, this is a powerful skit our youth participated in at our home church several years ago. The students were moved by all of it. One afternoon students were able to write any question they had about being a Christian or anything they had heard about and the staff answered them. The students had many questions about Jesus, "Why did Jesus have to die?, Why did he have to suffer?, Do you have to go to church to be a Christian?, Can you still Wai (an act of respect performed by the Thai) to Buddha if you are a Christian?, How can really God know everyone in the world"… awesome questions. It was evident that they had been really processing and thinking about everything that was presented to them. The Holy Spirit was moving in them.<br />

The last evening we had a foot washing service. The staff: Kat and Patdy, Chris and Dora and Todd and I along with the college youth who help out, washed all the feet of the students. This was a time I don't think we will ever forget. Many of the students were crying and visibly moved by God's love. To have your feet washed in Thai culture is extremely powerful because the feet are the most lowly of all body parts. It was humbling for them to have this experience, especially being served by people older that them. In Thai culture the heads of the older people have to be higher than the younger ones, also younger people serve the older ones with respect. In this case the students were in chairs and we were down lower than them and washing the disgraced feet. While perfuming the foot washing we tried to put ourselves in Jesus' place as he washed the disciples feet as we prayed for and tenderly washed, dried and and showed love for each one. The Holy Spirit was present in a deep way; the kids knew they were loved by us, but more importantly by God. <b>That night many of the students told us they loved Jesus.</b><br />

We have been praying bold prayers, that hundreds of people in Roi Et will come to know Christ. Many of you have joined us in that prayer. Sometimes that seems like such a difficult, even impossible thing, but this experience was a reminder that God is moving, that his spirit is changing<br />
hearts and that his will, will be done. We believe the prayers are being answered. We just have to be faithful and serve him.<br />

We wanted to update you on the past 2 months in Thailand. On August 16th we celebrated our 29th Wedding Anniversary at a beautiful spot in the Kao Yai mountains. We feel blessed and fortunate for this time together. Hannah Grace told people she and Noah were getting to go on their first anniversary!</div>

In July we were blessed to have two small teams come to visit us in Thailand. Gary and Sean Hughes came for a couple of weeks, followed by Lee and Bobby Gettys and Caroline Spangler. It was a tremendous encouragement and blessing for us to host both groups. We were able to introduce them to Thai culture in the city, the coast and in Roi Et. They were able to spend time meeting our Thai students and joining the current Thai team with activities.<br />

We had spoken with both teams about this mission trip, that they would not be physically "doing work" here, but that the way they could serve was by being open to the culture and relationship building. It was a beautiful exchange of cultures on both sides. The teams from America were able to offer encouragement and love to the Thai people, the Thai people opened their lives and hearts to the Americans. It was a beautiful exchange and we believe appreciation of both sides. God is good and we believe this time will forever change hearts and minds. It is interesting as people realize that as human beings created in the image of God we are all more alike than we are different. </div>

Each of our guests has relayed to us that this trip was meaningful for them and created a love and burden for the Thai people and the needs here. This week at our home church in Greenville SC a group that visited will be speaking about the trip to combined Sunday School classes to increase awareness about Thailand and to share how they can be praying. It is perfect timing we believe, especially in light of the recent bombings in Bangkok. We ask you too, please pray for this country and the Thai people especially. We pray for the Lord to be glorified in all things here, that his name will be known.</div>

August has included having after school activities at our home, doing conversational English and building relationships with students in the park, teaching English classes in a couple of schools, and working with team on Wednesday nights and Sunday's at Banon. We are continuing to learn Thai language and culture, praying for God's presence and help in these areas. We make plenty of mistakes, but hope the genuine love we have for the Lord and the Thai people will overcome barriers. Noah recently had the opportunity to go with Life to Ranong to teach English for a camp. It was an incredible experience for him, we are grateful his willingness to serve.<br />

Please continue to pray for our ministry here, that we can love students and show them the love of the Father. We are very blessed with our home here and are also making deeper relationships with our neighbors. They are very generous and loving to us, bringing us fruit and helping us out in anyway they can. The language is a barrier, but it is helping us learn Thai! We plan to have a cookout when our friends from the US visit next month.<br />
<br />
We appreciate your love and support for us and for the Thai people. Please continue to lift up prayers for all of us. We have friends from our home church coming over during the month of July. We hope this will be a great time of cultural exchange and awareness for both them and the Thai people. Please lift them up for the trip, Gary and Sean Hughes, Lee and Bobby Gettys, and Caroline Spangler.<br />

We feel grateful and fortunate to have been able to spend these past few weeks with these amazing students and staff. Please join us in praying that these students will know the love and life that Christ offers them. There were many opportunities for them to hear about God and his love for them. Life is hope.</div>

This first month back has been full in so many ways. We have had a lot of things to do just to get settled into our new home. One never really realizes how difficult it is to communicate some of the most basic things until you are on your own, one on one with the sales person, and they don't speak English.<br />
<br />
While enduring a struggle it seems like time is standing still. You begin to perspire, you feel all the other Thai people watching, you know they understand exactly what the salesman is saying and you are the only one who does not get it. At one point we had about 15 people from the other departments just watching the show. However, with God's help, we have managed to purchase mattresses and a refrigerator and have them successfully delivered to our house.<br />
<br />
I always wonder what they think when they see us coming into the store. We are probably on YouTube somewhere in one of our purchase adventures. It has all been mostly fun and it has helped us learn a few new words. We are however, thankful for God's provision of a house with lots of open space to host small groups and youth.<br />

We found the house to rent and are excited about the possibility it brings for space for ministry and the gift of hospitality to the Thai people.<br />
<br />
The other ways we have been filled is through spending time with the students, sharing English and giving and receiving love. This past week we talked about how Jesus loves us all no matter what our past is like. We told the story of Zacchaeus and even though he was a sinner Jesus came, loved him and was a guest in his house. We talked about people we love and with the upcoming Valentine's had the kids make cards for someone they love.<br />

Hello from Thailand!<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We are back in Thailand, over jet lag and ready to begin ministry. We were blessed to come back to mild temperatures, in the 80s. It won't be long before it starts heating up, so we are enjoying it while its here! We have been finalizing some work permit details and searching for a ministry vehicle while in Bangkok along with seeing our friends who live here. We feel certain this is where the Lord needs us for this season of our lives.</div>

Please continue to lift us up as we make the move to Roi Et next week, especially as we look for housing. Our fellow mission family the Barbees will be on furlough for 5 months while they support raise for their second 5 year term. We will be teaching several of their classes while they are away and assisting with Wednesday and Sunday worship activities with their students. This is a great opportunity for us to get to know the students better and increase our Thai language ability. Most students do not speak much English. Please keep us in your prayers as we move into our new roles and also as we search for a location for an after school center in Roi Et. </div>

Merry Christmas to you all.<br />
<br />
We have spent the past 2 months in the US visiting friends and family and speaking at churches about life in Thailand and how people can pray for and partner with the Thai people. God has blessed our time here, we have spent quality time with folks which has been a tremendous blessing to us. We have enjoyed familiar foods and all of the Christmas events. We are so appreciative of our host family the Robinsons and many who have loved on us during our time here.<br />

The people we have reconnected with at supporting churches and new people we have met who have an interest and heart for what God is doing across the world has been incredible. So many have a heart for Asia and want to be part of bringing the love and hope of Jesus to Thailand. They have committed to stay connected and to pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ in Thailand and also for those who do not yet know him. <br />

We will head back Jan 7 and plan to begin searching for a location for an after school program and make arrangements to take the English club to the rural schools. We still will need to purchase a ministry vehicle when we return to be able to get to the rural schools, so far we have raised about $5000. The projected cost of a certified used vehicle that will be adequate to transfer kids is $10,000 to $15,000. If you can help with this special need there is a give now tab on our blog that is designated for the ministry vehicle.<br />

We thank you all so much for your love and support to our family. We could not answer this call on our lives without you. <br />
<br />
Please continue to keep us in your prayers and we will do the same for you.<br />

Peace and Love,<br />

<br />
The adjustment in Roi Et has gone fairly smoothly these first couple of months. Our largest hurdle has been a re-adjustment to the food in the Northeast. Although it is similar to Bangkok our stomachs have identified some things that are different. We are getting out and meeting the people in the area and have begun building relationships now that they have seen us visit their restaurant and shops several times. We have also made friends with one of the night watchmen at our apartment complex. We try to go by and speak with him every night. Without a doubt the first thing we discuss with him is; have you eaten yet? and what will you eat? This is a common early question in Thai culture. Many times after this they they will invite you to eat if you have not already. This routine has helped us work on our hearing and speaking of the Thai language in a relaxed setting. We look forward to building more an more of these relationships as we come to know the people of Roi Et.<br />

We are currently back in the US where we will be sharing our life and ministry with some of our supporting churches and potential new supporters. This is a special time for us as we share and hopefully provide a deeper insight into what life for us is like in Thailand and how we plan to expand our mission goals. We are looking for a place to provide a after school program. We will meet with a city Director to discuss opportunities we may can be involved in with an after school program.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Rural Roi Et<br /><span style="font-size: small; text-align: start;"> In addition, we are developing an English Club to take into the rural schools outside of Roi Et. With that we need to purchase a ministry vehicle to reach these areas. Most of the village schools are located 20 to 45 minutes outside of the city. We have priced Toyota certified vehicles, small pick-ups and vans, and they range from $10,000 to 15,000. We can hopefully find a quality vehicle for less, but this provides us a target to aim for. If you or any group you know of would like to help meet this need, a contribution can be made by clicking the "Donate" link on the left side of this blog. It will take you to the contribution page. Select the vehicle link to make your contribution.</span></td></tr>
