There hasn’t been must activity on my blog in recent weeks. It’s not because there’s little to write about, maybe that’s the very reason I’ve not got round to blogging. So let’s get on with it here!
In recent months we had been praying about returning to work in Thailand. Of course there is plenty to do here and its work we enjoy as we organise and lead mission teams around the world. But with changes in our family responsibilities should we finally consider returning to Thailand? Everything we heard from there indicated a great need for help, our question was whether after all these years we would be of any use. The answer to that question came in an email and subsequent conversation with one of the missionaries in Thailand. So within a few weeks it was decided that we would indeed go back to work with New Tribes Mission in Thailand.
Our main ministry will most likely be back with the Bru people where we previously worked but there is the possibility of additional areas of service. We want to do what we can and be a blessing. One thing is sure, we will need to spend some time refreshing our ability in Thai which is well past it’s ‘sell by date’, it will probably take even longer to retrieve our ability in the Bru language.
These are days when every area of life is a step of faith but we are excited about the future and look forward to moving back next year.

I would have loved the opportunity to attend a Thai funeral and to witness the enormity of the task that yourselves and others endeavour to do for the Lord. It is sad to think that many of these lovely people will go into Eternity without ever knowing of the One who can take away their sins and the fear of spirits.
