Well, sorry for the long silence. I was waiting to try and figure out how to make this page more interesting before I launched a post. But, do to time and wanting to update you all I thought I better go ahead and write something and then work on the asthetics later.
Since we left Dallas we have traveled extensively. First, we started off in Denver seeing Kris’ foster family and then made our way to California. There we visited most of Kris’ family. Moriah did well with all of the plane rides and long car rides. Guess this is breaking her in for the long 18 hour flight to Bangkok in October. Finally after leaving California we went back to Oklahoma for a few days before leaving on a family vacation with Misty’s parents to Miami.
Now that June is over and we will be spending most of July with Misty’s family in Southcentral Oklahoma. Actually, for the next month it will be nice to be in one location and enjoy the last days with family before making our voyage to Thailand.
This weekend Misty and I will be speaking at a Church in Oklahoma about what God is doing in Thailand and how they can partner with us through prayer. On July 22nd I (Kris) will be ordained at First Baptist Sulphur. I am really excited about taking this next step in dedicating my life to ministry in front of all of my friends and family.
On August 6 or 7 we will leave for Virginia for a trainning with the International Mission Board until October 7, 2007. After the trainning is over we will come back to Oklahoma to pack our suitcase and leave for Thailand on October 13.
Life is so busy right now. Please keep us in your prayers. A few of our requests are:
Our team (already) in Thailand is looking for a strategic area for us to live. At this time there are a few possibilities. Since we will be translating Bible stories orally into the Isaan language we need a local person who will work with us about 20-30 hours per week. :
God will direct our leader Mark to the right location
An Isaan person will come across our paths who will be willing to work alongside of us. There are a lot of details to be worked out around this area…
That the Holy Spirit will guide all of the decisions that need to be made and we would have open ears to hear His words
In the future look for more links from this site. We will be adding a link for prayer requests, and for Moriah.
