"And they glorified God because of me" Galatians 1:24

I pray that is true in our lives people glorify God because they see Him in me!!

Only a matter of days left! We are looking foward to seeing our family and friends back home!!

Today we had a very nice service bro. Jo preached and we had several visitors!  A BMA missionary from Loas came in to meet and visit with us and bro. Doyle today. It was very encouraging to all be together worshiping.

We all had lunch together and shared our stories and prayer request.
I am so thankful for my husband and his heart for the Lord. He has really been a godly example for me and to others around us. He has such a humble heart to help others. Today there was a need some one had and he was quick to help in any way. The missionary was in need of a computer to help in her ministry, and she had been looking and the prices were just so expensive even compared to the states. So Brandon had been praying about it and selflessly offered his computer to her. It was such a reminder for me today that we shouldn't love our possessions and we ought to be quick to help our brothers and sisters in need!

Thank you for all your prayers can't wait to be back with you all so we can share all that we have learned and experienced!!

Getting Familiar...

Wow can't believe we only have 9 days left till we go back to the states!

We are finally getting familiar with everything and have been able to travel around on our own without getting lost! We have visited the area many times where we hope to attend a language school and have also found a place we could stay in the same building as our school! We also visited a park near by that could be very useful in future ministry outreaches. The location of the school is basically the central business area of Thailand. There are many tourist and the region is arguably the core of Bangkok's nightlife regarding prostitution. God has definitely given me a heart to reach young women and there's nothing I would love to see more than women being freed from that and having their lives changed by Jesus Christ! So it seems there is much work that can be done here and as of now we really feel led to this area

We have also been teaching just about every day. We have had several new students even though we don't have much time left, but we will spend as much time with them as we can! We have recently had two new girls that have joined us. They both are so advanced in English that their vocabulary is beyond the books we have...so we have been working on reading and comprehension, and our text book is the Bible!!! It is very interesting that God has been working in both of their lives prior to them meeting us. One is a Buddhist from Sri Lanka and this is her first time here. Just about everywhere she goes, whether the bus stop or out eating somewhere, she has met a Christian that has helped her or befriended her in some way!! God is really working on her!! She came to church last Sunday (Brandon preached so she was able to understand English...it was also translated in Thai though for the others!) We also have another student we have been working with that just believes in nature. Her sister is Christian and she lived with a Muslim family so she is interested in religion.  Both girls have been willing to spend 3 hours reading the Scripture and learning about it!! I could go on and on about how exciting it has been to work with each of the students but this is just a brief peek at the work God is doing here!

Jo is back with us! He has been able to preach and teach Bible studies in his village which God has really blessed!

Also Brandon got to meet a guy from England named Aaron he was able to share the gospel with him! So keep him in your prayers that God will continue to work and stir his heart! It was a pretty awesome experience Brandon was super excited!

This week we will be ending our teaching week, but the students have all left us with their contact info and want to continue with us next year when we return!

Also we will be meeting with Bro. Doyle from the Philippines at the end of this week.

Thank you for your prayers this trip has truly been a blessing!

Perfect Place & Perfect Opportunities

God has truly blessed us! The past week has been very encouraging for us!

1. We seem to have our mind made up on which language school would be best for us. 
2. We also have found what seems to be the best option for housing. It is reasonable and beyond convenient. It is located in the same building as our language school! Being located here opens up new ministry opportunities that I will like to share in more detail later with those interested. 
3. We have two students that have been prepared before they met us to hear the Gospel. I really wish I could go into details of their lives they have shared with us, but trust me God is doing great things to get their attention. Pray with us that they put their trust in Christ alone, and make Him Lord of their lives. 
4. Another great thing that happened to us was a date night. Yesterday Brittney and I went to the mall and had a hot pot (you cook your own food in bowling water on your table), we paid a visit to Krispy Kreams, and then we ended the night on youtube watching a few videos from Platt, Piper, and Baucham (great preachers). It was a nice and much needed night. 

Thanks for your prayers. I have a new request... I found out this morning that my grandma is in the hospital. Things are not looking good for her. It is hard for me because I feel like I should be there to help take care of her and things. My great aunt also passed away a few weeks ago... Internet communication can only do so much during times like this, but I'm thankful that we have even that. Please pray for my family as they are going through a lot of things at the moment.

Sorry I don't have a few pics with this blog and new ones added to our Facebook group page. I will try to get some  loaded soon.
