*If you missed yesterday’s blog, we are going back overseas!
Read the blog below (written by my wife) to find out about one of the countries we will be working in this winter!
—————-
We are so excited about finally getting the chance
to go to Thailand together!
Thailand was Rusty’s favorite place during the World Race, both in
2007 and 2008. He loves the people and the ministry there; specifically
in Chang Mai (the northern hill-tribes). He gets more passionate about
it than anywhere else he’s been, and still has great relationships with
the people he worked with there. I’ve never been, and am thrilled to go
to the place that makes him come alive!

WHEN are we going?
We will be spending 10 – 14 days in Thailand during the month of January.
WHAT are we doing?
While in Thailand we will be specifically focused on orphan ministry.
The contacts Rusty worked with on the World Race, Pastor Panya and
Rapee (a Thai couple) and Ray and Candice (an American couple) live and
work full-time in the villages. We will have an opportunity to check
out their ministry and explore the option of getting further involved!

We already sponsor an orphan in their Children’s Home, and we are
excited to meet our sponsor child! We are also excited about their
plans to build a Children’s Village and would like to parter with them
through my campaign,

through my campaign,
The Sound of Hope, by helping raise funds to care for the beautiful orphans there.
We may have other ministry opportunities in the villages, such as
encouraging the local churches, preaching, and worship leading. There
is also a chance we will visit Bur-ma, a country wrought by political
struggles. The military (which is now running the goverment) has
enslaved children as soldiers, and is killing off the Karen people
(natives of Burma- pronounced ‘Cor-inne’). Over 130,000 Karen
have fled the country in an attempt to escape the genocide, including
many children who’s parents were killed. The opportunity to encourage the Christians still in Bur-ma would be such an honor!

Please pray for us as we anxiously await our trip. If you missed yesterday’s blog, WE ARE IN GREAT NEED OF SUPPORT! If the support we need does not come in, we will not be able to got to Thailand. If more money does not come in soon, we will not be able to continue our work at all! PLEASE SUPPORT US!
