Hello, and happy summer to you! We have 10 months remaining in the USA before we return to Thailand for 4 whole years! We have lots of churches and lots of new & old partners that we are excited to meet over the next several months. We have also received our final budget last month from AGWM (our sending organization), which is our total monthly and one-time cash pledges we have to receive prior to purchasing our return tickets.
If you would like to make a one-time or monthly pledge to help our family get back to Thailand to share the Gospel with people who have never heard it before, we would be so appreciative! If you have previously made a pledge prior to our last term and would like to update (increase or stop giving), letting us know in the next month would be super helpful, as we are confirming how much is needed before we can finalize our schedule to return.
Check out the rest of this newsletter for more info on what God is doing in Thailand and what our family is up to!

Miraculous Healing Leads to Salvation

Last May, we were introduced to a woman named Oh and her daughter, and quickly had the opportunity to meet with her, encourage her, and share our faith and testimony. She got connected to our team when she found an English Ministry at the Thai International church in Bangkok whom we partner with. She has since been attending the Thai International Church and has been discipled by our good friend Art.
Many of our Thai friends and coworkers have stayed connected with her since we have been gone. Check out what our team just shared!
"Oh one day found a tumor, and every day Oh prayed without ceasing, there was a lot of worry and fear since Oh is a single mother. When Oh went back to the doctor's office, they still found the tumor, but when Oh went to do the Xray the tumor was completely gone. The Dr rechecked it three different times and couldn't find it, God had completely healed Oh. After that Oh decided to finally give her whole heart and life to God. She has confidently chosen to believe in God. After watching everything that happened to her mom, AKikio also decided to follow Jesus."

We are now officially taking applications for short-term teams, 3-9 month interns, and long-term assignments to help us open doors through various outreaches. We have more open doors than we have time or people to respond! Would you like to help us by being boots on the ground?
Since we last shared this, we now have several short term teams signed up, and two individuals planning on doing internships! There are plenty of spots left over the next 4 years, we would love to explore options with you if you are interested!

What a great summer it has been! During the school year, the girls can't travel much since they are in school. So we had the opportunity to take them with us this past month to visit our west coast partners. While it was a lot of driving, we had a few opportunities to see some cool things and make new memories together. In June, they had the chance to spend a week at MK Camp (for Missionary Kids)! They had such a great time, and grew closer to God in the process! Thank you for praying for our kids as they prepare to start the new school year at the end of August (Last one in the USA for many years!)
