FIRST CONTACT

Well, we spoke with James Hla through Skype today and it was a very encouraging time. We were able to get some of our questions answered and recieve some more information that will be helpful for us in our preparations. Right now we are working on getting our visas and we also will be needing to get a few different shots before we leave. The people are very excited to have us coming over to Thailand and are already planning ways in which we can be most beneficial. Our hope is to encourage, serve and sacrifice for the exsiting Church in northen Thailand, through our work and love. James mentioned that the people there will be looking up to us as leaders and have high expectations, and thus I ask for further prayers that God would continue to prepare my heart and discipline me so that I may exceed those expectations and show the love of Christ in a beautiful way. James also said that commitment to the lord is lacking in some of the people there, and I pray that God will use the Hla family and the leaders of the Churches as well as us to help rekindle passion for God among the people. There is still much work to be done and funds to be raised, so please keep on lifting us up to the lord.
