Travel to Thailand

This October, Craig traveled to Bangkok, Thailand to take part in two conferences. (This marked the third trip for Craig to Asia since March of this year-- and approximately 70,000 flying miles!) Both conferences were a great opportunity to connect with people from all over Asia and he also was able to catch up with  colleague from our time in Tanzania.   A highlight was working alongside one person who is working with the persecuted church in East Asia. It was a time of mourning for the people of Thailand as their King of 70 years died. The King was loved by the Thais so it was a difficult time of transition. As I reflected on the death of this earthly King I was able to celebrate with 8 new Thai believers who were baptized and now have an eternal relationship with their King.

While Craig was gone, the girls were busy with their home school work and preparing for the upcoming productions with their theater group.  The next show is a Christmas show and will be presented at an outdoor venue in downtown Tampa.  (Please let us know if you would like more information on attending!)  Their director has said that she feels that God has called us to "not waste a platform" so they are planning this show in order to share the Gospel through Christmas scenes and songs with the hope to impact Tampa with a message of hope. We are so blessed to a part of this amazing group!

We are also excited to announce that Wycliffe US celebrated the dedication of 29 New Testaments, including a children’s Bible.
