Together but far apart



I am in Canada right now; I came to share all the wonderful things that God is doing in Thailand. But everything went crazy, and the world grounded itself, and I can’t even go home. So, to take advantage of the situation, I am improving our communication with you, finishing a book I have been writing, and embracing a slower schedule. All we have is our faith and our attitude, And I am going to nurture mine.

In the photo, you see Anchalee and I, and our lovely children. I am separated from them and have no idea when I will get back to them. But we communicate digitally, and I know they are healthy and safe.

Anchalee is mom and dad now. She takes the kids to the field every day, no school. She has built some structures that will be very useful for our future: An 11,000-liter water tank, two field huts, and a building for migrant workers stranded in our village. In addition, she has fought a forest fire and killed a cobra that wanted to fight.
She continues to preach, and the village still does house church and Sunday church. But the village itself is locked down and you can’t go down the highway unless you have a very good reason. I desperately wish I could give her a hand, But God is on top of all things and He will not forsake us. He will bring us the help we need. And we will get back together again.
