Wedding Plans

So, as we settle in to life in Thailand, we are privileged to be part of a great team here. And now, that team has grown by one more. Taam, her nickname for us as it is easier to pronounce than her given Thai name, and Seth Hood, the son of our home church Pastor, Pat Hood were married today in a really interesting setting and wedding ceremony. Seth and Taam met soon after Team Bangkok arrived in Thailand and began building relationships with the local Thai people of Bangkok, and from the start it seemed obvious that God had chosen them to be together and glorify Him as a couple. Taam is the only follower of Christ in her family, the rest are all Buddhist. Pat married them in a local church in Chiangmai, which is where we are now, about an hour and a half flight north of Bangkok. Pat did a great job describing how Jesus talks about marriage and how to love each other as husband and wife as Christ loved the church and laid down His life for her. About 40 or 50 Thais heard the Gospel- possibly for the first time and hopefully in a way they had never heard it before. It was a really special moment when Seth and Taam served each other for the first time through the Lord's Supper. Pat and Amy were proud parents as they welcomed a daughter into their family, and Seth and Taam became one flesh to serve and glorify God together the rest of their lives. I was and am proud to be part of this team, even more today as we grew to one more. I can't wait to see how God uses this couple to reach others to glorify himself.
