May Update

Greetings all. My apologies for the long span of time since I last posted. I was quite busy for a while with moving, and then I did not have internet until recently. The move went great, and I am really enjoying my new place. Here is a little self portrait of me on the roof (25 floors up).



Things have been somewhat slow over the last few weeks. I did finally find a young man to tutor me in Thai. We started meeting this week. Please keep praying that I will grow daily in my Thai. It takes a lot more discipline and self control when you are not in school every day.



I have also continued to go to the Baring slum on Sunday evenings. This past Sunday we said goodbye to four of the gang that are headed up to Bible college in the north. (pictured left to right are Peace, Jamnian, Bee, Noom)

Please pray for this whole group!! Noom and Peace are going back for their second year, but this will be Jamnian and Bee's first year. Ask God to grow them in their faith, understanding, and obedience. Thailand needs more Thai leadership in all areas: church planting, evangelism, pastoral ministry. If this country is going to see a widespread movement to Christ it will be through the faithful and bold ministry of Thai Christians like these. "Stay the course guys!"
