Leaving to Return Again


Roy and Tremaynne left today. It was pretty hard to see them go. Since Roy will be in the States for several months, this was a sad parting.  We are really going to miss having them here. Tremaynne is a favorite with just about everybody, and he helped us to be able to make friends…read more.

Plans (by Roy)


For the past several weeks we have been able to spend time with Ben and Jason while they took us around to visit some of the numerous projects under way here in Thailand and Burma. One of these projects is a training center that had begun to be built, but is only partially finished and…read more.

Moving Day


It all started when Roy, Ben, Tremaynne, and I left the school. We had packed up our clothing and all the essentials, and headed North to Chiang Mai, leaving Jason and Travis behind. Now that all the level headed ones were gone, Jason and Travis swung into action. They flew off in different directions taking…read more.

The Studio

Next, take all your other clothes off while…read more.

The Valentines Day Bash


In my last episode, we were up at a little village in Karen State. After I wrote my last article, we went and had worship in many of the villager’s houses. They are the sweetest people you can imagine. Most of them really want a better life. Even the devil possessed guy listens intently while…read more.

Exploring The South


  I find myself sitting in a bamboo hut in Karen State. The last couple of days are slowly erasing themselves from my anatomy, as I finally find time to relax a little. This week has sure been a whirlwind! On Tuesday Ben and Roy drove Pastor Phamor’s truck down to the school to pick…read more.
