A quick update on some things. My family and I had a great time in Thailand. We were able to eat some good western food, which is a break for us. The kids were able to spend time with their friends, and visit some cool places like the zoo, and a place called Tiger Kingdom, where you are able to sit with, and pet LIVE tigers! The family had a great time, while Dad took a seminary class offered overseas by Southern Seminary. It was my first college-type class in 15 years, but things went well. It was a good time of discussion and learning about mission strategy. We have arrived home to resume work, which a trip I had planned to visit some of our 14 was cancelled due to bad weather. All seems to be going well back home however, and we have been rested up for the next six months of work.
I received a phone call from one of our 14 who has not let the cold nasty weather stop him from doing God's work. He wanted to rejoice with me and said he and one of his CP's had found 4 new persons of peace in new villages. Praise the Lord! More workers for the harvest!
We have some friends from our home church who are going through the IMB to Africa. They are in the process of selling their house so they can go to orientation this summer. Praise the Lord, more workers for the harvest! Check out their blog Geonosis and follow their journey to the field. This makes the 3rd family, including us, that our church has sent to the mission field in the last year and a half. More are in line to go, and it makes us proud to be encouragement to those who are being called out. We are also proud to be part of a church body that is committed to reaching the lost of the world- to be the hands and feet of Jesus.
He told them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. (Luke 10:2) Continue to pray that more workers are sent to the harvest fields, because the harvest IS plentiful.
