Building The Wall On The Property

Since the end of December we have been building a wall around the property in Burma. We are almost finished with two sides of the wall. We have great expectations for the future on this property. We are believing to give a children a wonderful home where they will experience the Love of God and where we will be able to give them the tools to develop into Godly leaders for Jesus. Hundreds and thousands of children in this area lack the opportunity and the skills they need to succeed in their lives. Believe with us that we will be able to provide them a home! I want to thank all of you for believing and giving into this work!

Pictures Of The Family And Students

It is now the end of the year and we are so grateful that all God has done and is doing. Jeremiah is certainly growing quickly and he is so fun to be with. It hard for me to believe that he is already 5 years old. We had a great birthday party for him at the end of September. We have him enrolled in a good school where the staff have been wonderful to him. My wife has been a great help to me in the Bible School and I am very proud of how well she works with the students. Here are pictures of Jeremiah, Elizabeth, myself and our students over the past few months.

Great November For Us, Great Conference For Us

This past November we had some wonderful Bible teachers come and teach our students. We were so blessed to have Pastor Lorne Davis from Swift Current Saskatchewan Canada teach our students on the "Pathway To Success." We had the students from VABC Thailand and Dr. Al Purvis here also...so our house was very very full. Lots of food, lots of fun, and lots of study. On the weekend of the 20th thru the 22nd we had Pastor's Paul Hays and Dan Holegate from Phoenix Arizona share with us and the local church on "Fellowship In The Church." We are so honored that other minister's would come and help us with our Bible Training Center. During the Thanksgiving week I ministered for Charlie and Cathy Milbrodt at their Living Word Ministries Conference. I always consider it an honor to minister for their work here in northern Thailand. While I was gone we had a missionary from England, Simon Crowe who lives here in southern Thailand minister to the students on New Testament Survey. Simon helped teach music and English in the afternoons. Simon went above and beyond what we asked of him!

Update On Myanmar And The Property

Just an additional note...many of you may already know that Myanmar (Burma) had it's elections last week and Aung Sung Suki party was the winner of most of the seats in the congress. This will bring great changes through out the country of Myanmar. This should help us move forward with our project in Myanmar. That means means sometime in the month of December we will begin building the wall that we have been planning for. We will need much more additional finances for the children's home and for the wall in this phase of the project. We want to thank you for those who have so faithful in giving for this project.

Building Leaders For God's Glory

We had a great four weeks as I finished teaching on the subjects of Healing and the Old Testament. My wife Elizabeth and brother in law Samuel did an awesome job translating for me during that time. We also take time on Monday mornings to minister on some leadership principles. Our goal here is to raise up a new generation of leaders filled with integrity and with God's Word. I have blessed with the ministers we have had teaching here at the Bible School. This we have Pastor Lorne Davis from Swift Current Saskatchewan teaching our students on the "Pathway To Success." We are certainly blessed to have him here as well as Dr. Al Purvis and the VABC students participating with our students. We also have Simon Crowe teaching our students over the next two weeks on "New Testament Survey." We are thankful for these ministers to take time and minister to our students. Next week I will be ministering at a leadership conference in Chaing Mai with Pastors Charlie and Cathy Milbrodt at Living Word Ministries as they will be packing the house (Facilities) with ministers from all over northern Thailand. Pastors Charlie and Cathy are doing an awesome work for the Lord! I consider this an honor to minister for Charlie and Cathy and to them as many will be some of my former students while I taught for Living Word Ministries. Believe with me to bring understanding and revelation to the hearts of these pastors.

The Start Of A New School Year

On the third week of September we started our Bible Training Center again here in Northern Thailand. All of our students come from Burma and most from the Shan State which is just on the other side of the Thai-Burma border. We have nine students and we have 5 people on staff along with my wonderful in-laws. We are fortunate to have Zami Shine (from Burma) as our worship leader as she is quite an experienced worship leader. We are also helping her upgrade some of her abilities on the keyboard and guitar. The first two weeks we started with Pastor Kris Pagan teaching on Spiritual Disciplines and this past week we have Becky Watson teaching the students on the subject of worship. Our classes will be going thru the 11th of December and then again will start on the third week of January 2016 for another 12 or 14 weeks. Believe with us to bring strength, understanding and revelation into the lives of the students. Burma is on the verge of some great changes and we are expecting our students to be life changers for their country.

First Term Students Finish Strong

On May 22nd we finished our first three month term with the students. What a great honor it was to minister and teach these students they were so hungry to learn. The during the last six weeks I taught on Faith and Prayer and Pastor Matt Watson from Sriracha Victory Church taught on the ministry gifts. Pastor Matt did a wonderful job teaching the students and we were so blessed to have him here with us. We also had a young man Ewing from VABC Bible College in Sriracha teach the students on music and was such a blessing as the students soaked up all that he taught them. The students were so blessed by all they had learned during the past twelve weeks and we look forward to seeing them again in the Fall of 2015. Near the closing of the school we gave Pastor Matt and my brother in-law Samuel the honor of baptizing a couple of the students. After that we had a picnic and a party at the park where we baptized the students. We want to thank all of you for helping us as we build Burmese leaders for tomorrow!
