Celebrating with our kids...

Eating Pizza with kids
(l-r)Yerami, O-Say, Bill, Kamuang, Susie, Nan, Moleepon

2011 is racing by! We've had several months already to get to know our new kids and in a few weeks the school year will be half over. What a blessing and joy it is to be with them, spend time with them and share our love of Jesus with them.

Birthday surprise We typically get together every Wednesday evening at our home for dinner. After dinner we will study English and/or play games. Once a month we go out for dinner to some place special where they probably have never been.

In the picture above we went to a local pizza restaurant. This was the first time for 4 of the 5 kids, only Kamuang had been there before. On this night, we celebrated Yerami's 19th birthday. Susie brought the little cake and gave it to the waitress. She brought it and set in front of him when we were finished with our meal, pictured at right. The look on his face was priceless!

It is great fun for us to be with them, to pamper them just a little! Mostly it is using this opportunity God has given us to show them how loved they are!

Our Vision

Use the skills we have in Education and Technology to open doors in Asia so we can mentor and disciple people bringing them to maturity in Christ.

Preparing for work in Asia...

Our current focus is Thailand. Our plans are:

To be a Godly example to those God puts in our path.
To work with in-country missionaries and nationals.
To build relationships in Thailand with local churches and Thai believers.
To use ESL (English as a Second Language) to reach and connect with children.

November 10, 2011 -- Loy Krathong Festival begins

This is a fun time of the year! Loy means "to float" and Krathong refers to a lotus shaped object that can float on the water. Originally the krathong was made of banana leaves and contained food, nuts, flowers, candles and coins. People will light the candle, set the krathong on the water and make a wish as it floats away on the river. At the same time the night sky will be filled with hot-air balloons.
