We are privileged to host a group of MBSF (Missionary Baptist Student Fellowship) students from Arkansas who will be with us fro the next two weeks working with the churches here in Northeastern Thailand. Lead by MBSF director Josh Stone, they will be helping with a Vacation Bible School at the Udon Thani Baptist Church and helping with some work projects with the missionaries here. The group of six will be touring the Isan region and helping distribute tracts though the area. Already, they have proved to be a tremendous blessing both to us personally and to the Thai people. Please pray for the group as they minister to the people here in Thailand.

We have been feverishly working to renovate the building in Khon Kaen to make it usable as a church facility, yet the 150km drive has made it difficult to progress very rapidly in this project. We are gutting the bathroom and replacing the hole in the floor with a toilet. Already, we have hired workers to lay tile on the floor and finish the paint job we started last week. Slowly, the new building is starting to come together and look more like a worship facility. The storefront space is two stories and will seat about 30 people comfortably downstairs. The upstairs will be used for classrooms. This week we had five new visitors who were very excited about the new church and said they would return. Please pray for this fledgling work and the souls touched through it.

This week, Tim, Rodney and I drove cross country to the city of Chiang Mai. There we were privileged to fellowship with the Teers and the Rosendals who are ministering there at the Antioch Baptist Church which was started by missionary Nick Barnett. I spent one day at the print shop trying to work all the bugs out of the literature which was supposed to go to press, but it looks like we will have to reformat the books before the press will be able to print them. We were finally able to purchase some new Bibles this week which will be just in time for us to use them at the new church in Khon Kaen. I was also able to purchase some Bible study literature available through the Thailand Bible Society. The ten hour drive through the mountains and across the countryside of Thailand is breathtaking, but it’s good to be back home in Udon.
