Okay a brief update to what has happened since the last time
that we wrote a blog. We started a new bible study on Friday nights in Kamala
Beach about an hour further south from us. We had two men attend. I believe
that as we continue with this more will attend. Others have expressed interest
in attending as well. Our study has the first children’s program for English speaking
children. That we know of anyway. Joe is teaching IBS (inductive bible study)
through the book of James. Joe also teaches a couple Sundays a month at an international
church in Patong. We are so blessed to be a part of the work God is doing with
that church as well.
Joe is still waiting on his TEFL certificate in the mail.
However, this week Joe received a phone call asking if he would like to start a
program in the prison here on the island. This was an answer to prayer. As we
moved further south and the prison that Joe was teaching at is about an hour
and a half North of our new home. And we knew that it would be coming to an end
soon. Joe truly enjoys that ministry. Hopefully the Lord will allow him to
teach in the prison here on the island. Pray for open doors.
Sarah and Sam have designed an entire curriculum for Sunday school
covering an entire year. Now they will be working on writing some puppet shows
and VBS. Please keep this in your prayers as well not sure what the Lord will
be doing with this.
We are so excited to be in the Kamala and Patong area doing ministry. We are just praying
our way through things and hoping that the Lord continues to open doors in this
area. We are also just praying as the area of ministry is mainly Muslim. As we
move this way the need for a vehicle is growing increasingly. Dana and Cindy
have been gracious enough to let us use their vehicle while we live here in
this area. However, we will eventually need to move to the area of ministry. This
will leave us without a vehicle. Please keep us in your prayers. Thank you!
