“The
Lord … sent them in pairs ahead of Him to every city and place where He Himself
was going to come. And He was saying to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore
beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest. (following their return) … He said
privately, “Blessed
are the eyes which see the things you see.” Luke 10: 1,2, & 23.

This past week we were blessed to host two
missionary families at our home and farm in Chiang Rai, Thailand. Of course we ate together, the kids played
together, we had fellowship and shared together, and we all had lots to learn
about how God is ministering and working through each of these families where
we serve. Thompson’s Station Church in Tennessee, one
of our partners back in the US, sent these families to live and work in another
Asian country just over one year ago.
They are doing very well in learning language, and finding ways to live and
grow in the new communities where they live.
They came to visit us to see and hear about how God is working through
our partnership together, our community outreach project in North Thailand, and
about how this model might apply to their own vision and call for ministry
where they serve.

| Eating with Friends is a great way to fellowship. |
Of course, during their stay, they milked
goats, and learned about the farming business, but more than that, the Lord
used this opportunity to share about using “Business” as a strategy for
engaging the community with the Gospel.
NARROW GATE can be an example for how other Missionaries, can
engage their community by living our lives in such a way that we are on Mission
for HIM 24x7.

We shared about Kingdom focused Business Principles and how
those relate to our project at Narrow Gate Asia in Chiang Rai.

I am a dreamer! God has given us a HUGE Vision for how to engage the unreached
peoples of North Thailand. What makes me
most excited about our friends coming to visit, is that we have a task before
us that can be shared across borders, across cultures, and across the
world.

“Blessed are the eyes which see the
things you see.” We got to see and share
lots of things together with our friends last week. We are scheduling a return trip, to not only
cast vision, but to study and learn together in detail. My prayer as they return to their place of
service, is that God will bless them and use them to see “God’s Kingdom come,
and Will be done.”
