Your Prayers are Powerful and Effective! 


YOU get to fight with us in prayer for the strongholds that hold people back from experiencing the love of God and message of Jesus. If you would like some more context and prayer guides to join us in prayer, follow this AMAZING resource, 'Change the Map' by liking their Facebook page to get updates for prayer needs in the Buddhist world.

Pray for Buddhists
 

We travel a lot in this season of life and we need lots of prayers for health, safety in travels, and to stay focused on the Holy Spirit's work in our life and those whom we minister to. We would love for you to partner with us in prayer! You can find our updated prayer needs for family and ministry monthly here: gopowellgo.org/pray
Good-byes are hard! But Lena is super excited for next week when a bunch of family comes in to celebrate her 4th Birthday! 
The girls have loved using the shipping boxes as a jungle gym!
We are limited on what we can take, but it's actually cheaper for us to move our belongings via airplane! Here's 85% of what we are taking! 

Saying Good-Bye, Saying 'Sa-wought-dee'

 
This has been such a difficult few months, knowing that with every passing good-bye means good-bye for many years to come. We frequently find ourselves holding back tears because of the knowledge of the distance that will soon be developed in our deepest relationships. 

At the same time, we look forward to starting fresh, and getting settled into our new home in Bangkok. We look forward to saying, 'Sa-wought-dee' ('Hello' in Thai) to our future Thai ministry partners. We have gone over a year now without a steady routine, which has cultivated a chaotic atmosphere for us and our girls. In a way, moving to Thailand feels like starting an entirely new life! A new language, a new culture, and a new way of life. We are excited, nervous, and everything in between! But more than anything, we are thrilled to play a small part in the work that the Holy Spirit is doing throughout Thailand. We can't believe that this is real life; that WE get to partner with the church in the United States and around the world to bring the Kingdom of Heaven to earth in a place that so desperately needs this hope.
