Just wanted to make sure you knew that we are currently in the middle of a school supply drive for Evergreen Elementary School. We would love to bless these kids and teachers robustly as school starts. Please take a look at the flyer and see if anything jumps out at you. God Bless and THANKS in advance for your generosity and love for the kids.

Our team had the opportunity to interact and connect with over 600 children during our time here in Thailand! May the Lord bless every heart !

Sunday service with our church family at Lamkajao Church. This was a celebratory morning! Today was the first service held in the newly constructed worship center with AC to sweeten the experience. It was also the first baptismal service at the church. Many had accepted the Lord and waited months to be baptized in order to do it in the new baptismal pool. I had the privilege of speaking this morning, and baptizing some of my own precious young people on our team, as well as my new Thai friend (her name is pronounced Ung, said deep in the back of your throat.) She is beautiful, and was radically saved and freed. Praise the Lord for this day!!!

One of my favorite facets of this trip is the fact we have young people doing the hard work alongside the adults, both male and female.

The air conditioning is installed! 90% of all the electrical is in, praise the Lord! I will find a picture of me holding a tool, if there is one…..

Tomorrow this friend gets baptized! She received Jesus as her Lord and savior three months ago, then immediately brought her husband who received Jesus, and then they immediately brought their friends. Pastor Dara calls her the woman at the well, as she runs to tell others about the One who gives living water, and brings them to see for themselves. I recorded her tearful testimony, and it will be translated for Turning Point Church.

VBS at Lamkajao Church! The very first VBS at the very first Open Bible Thailand church! Over 100 kids and adults heard the story of David and Goliath, and how God loves them and can fight for them. We had songs, crafts, games, and sweet connections. There may have been jump roping with pastor Dara and Pastor Melissa, too. I’ll tell you how my Insides feel tomorrow.

Our first school. Of course, the food looked amazing, and their sweet hearts captured our whole team. Though this school is a private Christian school, only about 5% follow Jesus, including the teachers.

Working shoulder-to-shoulder with gifted people! We didn’t know what to expect, which meant the Lord showed up in even better ways than we could plan for. These kids rocked it!

Our team was able to attend a very large school, where our kids were a huge hit! They loved playing with the kids, conversing in English to give the other children practice, and show the love of Jesus through their smiles.

Turning Point Church, my heart filled up and spilled over when I read this sign of dedication. I am so proud to be a part of such a generous church body, to see how your sacrifice is meeting such a vital, real need. Thank you for being used by the Lord to provide clean water for His people.

This team is working faithfully, even in the heat and humidity. I am so proud of this team and their hearts to serve in every way possible, combining skill and knowledge into worship of their Lord.

Construction on the new church was in full swing today! AC units were installed as well as needed electrical.

We landed safely in Bangkok and took a two hour drive in a double decker bus to our destination. Our missionaries wonderfully were there to greet us at the airport and supply us with snacks for the road, and to see we were settled in our hotel.

From Spokane to Newberg, Oregon!
The Bemis family is now planted in their new assignment as College Street Church. The Stelly family had the opportunity to help move them over and pray a blessing over their family, their calling, their home, and their new assignment as pastors over this new church plant. It was a bitter/sweet time together, and our hearts ached as we drove away, but were also full of hope and excitement for this new season of ministry. We love you, Bemis family, and we are cheering you on, in the Name of Jesus!
