Wow... it has been a crazy couple of weeks! It is hard to
believe we have less than a week left in country! Last week we spent three days
in the villages establishing gardens at two people's houses. One of those
people was actually the leader of the village! It is a great sign of progress
to be able to build relations with him and to make a garden in his home. The
second person's house we built a garden in was one of the other leading men in
the village. Hopefully with the success of these two men's gardens, the rest of
the village will follow and we will be able to do more ministry there in the
future. Please be in prayer for the village leader, he has been suffering from
stomach pains and is unable to do much in the village. We got the opportunity
to pray over him and lay hands on him. We are praying for a mighty healing so
that he will know God on a much more personal level, as a loving God who takes
care of his children. We finished out the week by tying up all the loose
ends at the new training building at our demonstration farm.
This week, we traveled to a village of Northern Thai
people and had a training seminar on our FAITH gardening process and then were
able to build one for them to model after. We also went to visit the new land
that our foundation has purchased and planted a full six plot garden there. God
has been working through the leadership of our foundation and has given them a
vision of how to reach the people of Northern Thai people. This newly purchased
land is the first step to the new headquarters for the foundation and we are
glad to of had an opportunity to lay some of the groundwork. (see more pictures below)
- Pray for them as
they are having to sacrifice a lot to see God's vision become a reality.
- Pray
for faithfulness and strength as they continue to give of themselves.
- Pray for
more partners to come alongside them and provide for the financial needs.
This is our last week in country and we are excited to come
home but also sad to leave. We will be starting on our last project later
today, a gate for the demonstration farm. As we are nearing the end of this
trip, Satan will look to distract us and just focus on coming home. Pray for us
that we would remain focused and finish strong. We do not want to miss anything
the Lord still has for us here. Thank you for all of your prayers and
encouragement throughout this trip. See you all soon!
