On the road again
This week we will be moved and hopefully all settled in our
new home in Kamala Beach. I am very excited for this move however; however we
are also going to miss our current village. We have made so many friends and
have been a part of so much here. I know the Lord knows best and His Will, will
be accomplished in and through us.
I have so much news for this update, so please don’t grow
weary reading. Through much prayer and fasting we have decided to partner with
another missionary couple from AGM (Asia Gospel Missions) to church plant in
the city. Dan and Liza are the names of the couple that we have been working
with. Absolutely amazing people and so blessed to be working with them. As a church
body we have been meeting at a church that allows us to use their facilities in
the afternoons. We are currently looking and praying for a building to use, as
we are not sure how long they will allow us to worship there. Please lift this
up for us. This is officially the first week we will be having Childrens Sunday
school classes. Which will be taught by Sam and myself (Sarah). Joe and Dan
have been alternating teaching through the book of Romans. Most of the members
are in the music industry here so our worship is always amazing. So many things to do! I don’t think I really
realized how much work it is when starting from scratch. I
am super excited and can’t wait to see what the Lord is doing with all of this.
The same church we are meeting at also has a youth
department with a heart for evangelism and they are allowing us, Joey, Sam and me (Sarah) to go
and train their youth in evangelism. We will be going on the 7th of
Sept. This youth department has permission to go into the local high school and
do evangelism. Praise The Lord!
Joe left for the North of Thailand this week to attend the
graduation of CCTCT (Calvary Chapel Training Center Thailand) students. We are
so blessed to be involved with Pastor Eric and his wife Mj as they continue on
in teaching and training through the word.
As Joe had mentioned in our last blog the Lord impressed
upon the heart of Pastor Dana and his wife Cindy to give us one of their
trucks. What an answer to prayer! The Lord knows our needs and provides them
through ways we least expect. We do still need to put in a new engine. We live
near the ocean and the salt water has eaten through the metal and it’s an old
truck. By faith the Lord gave us the truck and I am sure by faith he will
provide a way to fix it. No place would I rather be than relying on the Lord to
provide my needs; helps me keep a humble heart.
The kids are all doing well in school. We are moving and I
believe I will need to go back to full time homeschooling. Joey should be
starting his first year of high school. This is my first high school
student so we have no curriculum. If
anyone has any material or suggestions please let me know.
After my last post maybe a day or two later I fell ill with
Dengue Fever or( break bone fever).It was the worst 2 weeks of flu like
symptoms I have ever experienced. Praise the Lord I pulled through. The only
lasting effects that it has had on me are extreme fatigue and some paralysis of
the face. But nothing serious the doctor said it would go away soon. Thank you
for taking the time to read our blog and to see what the Lord is doing here in
Thailand.
