Oct 19th I will fly to Thailand and then on to China. This is a very important trip. Chris Briles, WIM Director of Operations, will go with me. Our goal in Thailand is to encourage the missionaries that are working with refugees from Myanmar. They are also rescuing children out of the horrible sex trade. These missionaries are REAL HEROES in my book.
The lady in the glasses is Davelyn Valdueza. She was trained by WIM missionaries in the Philippines and is now serving the refugee community in Thailand. She is doing a great work but needs encouragement. Pray that God will use us to bring help and strengthen her.
CHILDREN’S HOME IN PHAYAO
Also in Thailand we will visit Tony & Mary Ann Bianchi who are working with a group of missionaries that rescue children who would be sold into the sex trade. They take children that are at risk of being sold and move them into a home where they are cared for, educated and most importantly taught the Gospel message. These children are becoming Christians instead of prostitutes.
The Bianchis also hold seminars and conduct conferences for missionaries that are serving in several countries in Asia.
In China we plan to help form a new church planting team.
This Friday, September 25th, I will be at a men's retreat sponsored by New Voice Church, St. Louis, MO. The following day I will travel to Farmington, MO to speak at a conference sponsored by Bridge of Hope. I am looking forward to helping men understand God's plan for their lives.
We have served as missionaries since 1978. We hope that you will enjoy reading about us, our family and the work of worldwide missions. Every week I will try to update this Blog with the current activities we are involved in.
It is a good thing to give thanks to the Lord. Jesus is the star of this Blog. He has saved us, blessed our family and chosen to use us to spread the Good News.
We hope everyone reading this will experience the same abundant life we have in Christ.
