Dear Family,
Friends, and Partners in Ministry,
I am
sitting in my office on Saturday afternoon, July 5, reflecting on the wonderful
outreach yesterday as we helped all of our friends and neighbors celebrate God’s
hand in bring the great nation of the USA into existence.
We started cooking,
yes, hamburgers and hotdogs, in the early afternoon and brother Doug and
brother Gary cooked until about 6:00 in the evening. They cooked about 300
hotdogs, and about 300 hamburgers.
We also have
an awesome partner church, Crosspoint Church, from Gulfport, MS that has a team
of 9 people with us and they all managed the Carnival games yesterday that
started and 4:00 PM and lasted until about 6:00 PM. Here are a few pictures
from our Carnival games time and food time.
We love it
when volunteer teams come from churches to help us reach into some of the least
reached people groups in our world today. Here is a picture of the team that is
with us at this very moment along with Doug and Paulette Piper who have been
sent from this church and serve along side us through NTIM and are in language
school preparing to help us launch “Project Payao” likely in the early part of
Next Year. More on “Project Payao” in a future update.
We just
wanted to thank you for praying for us on a regular basis and for praying for
our wonderful outreach on the 4th of July from the other side of the
world.
Please pray
for our Grace Language School team and the Crosspoint team as they did an English
camp this morning with about 60 Thai children grades 1-6 that study English
with us every Saturday morning. Here are a couple of pictures from today.
Monday we will do an English Fun Day outreach at a school in Payao, which is
the province south of Chiangrai. And then on Wednesday, we will be doing
another English Fun Day outreach in Ball’s home town of Tueng. Pray for us as
we go into our community as salt and light and with the greatest message the
world could ever hear.
Thank you
for your prayers and financial support to be able to reach into the darkness personally
with the message of our great Savior.
May God bless each of you for your prayers and your gifts given in the
name of our great Savior Jesus Christ.
Until all the people living in and around Northern Thailand have a
chance to become followers of the One True God and His Son Jesus Christ.
Michael for the team…
“For we do not preach ourselves but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves
as your bond-servants for Jesus’ sake.” 2 Corinthians 4:5
