The original call to Thailand is finally being answered! After almost three years the Nelson family will finally be making the trek to Southern Thailand. During the time Sarah and I were in Ban Nam Khem, November 2009, the Lord really spoke that we would be serving there, but that just never seemed to be "in the cards" so to speak, however during this last trip the Lord has confirmed His original calling and we will be headed down near the end of February. The local Thai pastor has stepped down and he and his family will return to the North where they are originally from. We will be taking their position. It is so amazing how the Lord works in His timing, not ours. Just as we are getting settled here in the North, getting comfortable, He confirms something that has been in His plan all along. We so often get distracted and forget what He has put in our hearts but He is faithful and never forgets. The whole family is very excited about this new chapter and new responsibility and cannot wait to see what the Lord is going to do. Pastor Eric and the Nelson family will be leaving the North around the 20th and head down South to meet with Pastors Cliff, Gerry, and the rest of the team around the 1st of March. Please keep this big move in prayer, also the visit from America. This next year is going to be exciting. Thank you Lord for your faithfulness. It will be hard leaving our new friends and family here in Mae Sariang but we all find comfort knowing that it is the Lord's will. We will miss everyone here, that is for sure.
Prayer Requests:
Salvation for Thailand
Upcoming Move
Upcoming Visit from America
Continued Growth of Small Church here
The New Task of Leading a Church
Steadfastness in the Word
Growth in the Grace and Knowledge of Christ
