Another year over. A new one’s just begun.
2023 is here and I am anticipating all that God is going to do!
The older I get the faster time seems to go by. I’m better understanding why the Bible says life is but a vapor. I’m also better understanding that we need to make every moment matter. We don’t have time to be nonchalant in our walk with the Lord.
In Revelation 3:16 Jesus doesn’t mince his words when he says, “So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I am going to vomit you out of my mouth.” I don’t know about you but, I don’t to make Jesus vomit. We only have opportunity to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Jesus this side of heaven. I want to do all that I can while I can.
Let’s build each other up this year. Let’s love God and love people even more this year. Especially in the midst of cultural pressure to conform to the world. Following Jesus will continue to get more costly, we need each other more than ever!
I’m back! Well, kind of…
This month marks 2 years of not being on social media. Though I haven’t missed it, many people have told me that they miss seeing me on there. So, after two years I’ve come up with a compromise.
I have started a #MissionThailand page on instagram and facebook. But, the accounts will be managed by my sister. I will send her pics and updates then she will post them for me. So, you still get to see what I’m up to and I don’t have to actually be on social media or have it on my phone. #winwin
I hope that this will help you to feel more connected to me and the ministry that God has called me to. A ministry that you help make possible through your faithful giving and prayers!

Updates
A huge thank you to Pastor Brad Grams at West McKinley Refinery church in Fresno for the opportunity to share about Mission Thailand. You have been faithful partners for many years! It is an honor to have you on this journey with me.
Many people for over a decade have invested into the village where the community center is located. I'm so excited to share with you that more and more people are getting saved! I imagine I’m not alone in saying that I’ve cried out to God in defeat because it felt like our efforts were in vain.
But God…
His word does not return void.
I have personally been investing in/serving at the community center for 10 years. I’ve seen God move in ways I couldn’t have asked him to and I’ve seen him, seemingly, do nothing. It is an understatement to say that I am overjoyed to share that not only are people getting saved they are asking for a church!
Would you please join me in praying for the new Christians in that village? Pray that they will have a bold faith in Christ. Pray for wisdom as they establish a church. There will be much opposition to a church in that area but God is greater. God is doing a mighty work!
We’re getting closer! My goal is to get back to Thailand in July. If you aren’t already, would you prayerfully consider becoming a monthly partner?
