Up Close and Personal With a Cobra

The other day in our village we came across someone with a big cobra...seemed like a good pic for the blog.

Encouragement from Elderly Thai Christian

On Sundays, we drive about 20 minutes to a small Thai house church. In our area of Thailand, there are only a few churches, and just a few believers scattered around. In America, we are used to driving 10 minutes, 15 minutes, maybe even 30 minutes to go to church...its normal; however, most Thai people in our area don't have vehicles, and have to rely on public transportation (occasional bus-like vehicles that drive down main roads). I was really impressed this morning by the devotion of an elderly lady, Sa-Lee. As the only Christian in her village, Sa-Lee had no ride to church, so she had to walk from her village to the nearest main road to get a bus. This elderly lady, worn down by years of working in the rice fields, walked over a mile in the Thailand heat just to get to the bus stop, and then made her way on to the church. Lets all be encourage by Sa-Lee, and her devotion to God and to her Church.

Ban Tdum Kids

These are some Kui kids from Ban Tdum, a nearby village. Mike and Amy Bowles, and their family, used to serve in that village. We took them out to celebrate one of their birthdays. Here is a pic that we took at a park.

Pray for Dtoy

Just recently, we hired a lady, Tdalm, to come help out with some housework. She is a Christian and attends the church that we go to. Her younger brother Dtoy came to visit us the other night. He acted a little weird, but I wasn't sure why. That night he was riding home on his motorbike and had a wreck. I think the reason he was acting weird was because he had been drinking; unfortunately, I didn't think about it at the time...I just thought he was weird. He has lots of scrapes all over his body, but as far as I know he's doing ok. In his weird state, he asked me to take his picture. His sister says he's a Christian, but he's walked away from God. Please pray that God would work in his life, and draw him back.
