During this holiday time of year I am reminded again that there are still many who have never heard the gospel. In Thailand the department stores will make much of Christmas in order to promote sales. But Thai people do not celebrate Christmas and most of them have no idea what is being celebrated.
The people of Thailand with their many idols are happy to worship kings, monks, spirits and multiple deities. But they know almost nothing about the one, true, mighty God!
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given:
and the government shall be upon his shoulder:
and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor,
The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
This past year has been a fantastic time of spiritual growth and learning. And there is every indication that 2023 will offer even more exciting opportunities for serving our Lord.
Please be praying for us as we have been invited to minister to a small community in S.E.Alaska. We will be over-seeing a mission church there from mid-January till mid-March. Temporarily ministering in S.E.Alaska will be an extremely different experience from all our years in S.E.Asia!
No matter if we are in Thailand or N. America, we are constantly interacting with people who need to hear the good news about The Prince of Peace. Thank you for continuing to partner together with us promoting the Kingdom of Jesus!
Yours for Thailand
