"Move Out Day!"

This past weekend marks two transition milestones for our family.  One year ago on June 25th we moved into the Mission House at First Baptist Church in Benbrook, Texas, and this past weekend we finished packing and moved out in preparation to return to Thailand on August 1.  Having a place to call home and settle into while we have been in the US has been a huge blessing.  The church has set up the house beautifully and it had plenty of rooms and beds for our large family.


I will never forget the first day that we arrived.  It was before Wednesday evening activities at the church when Gary Waller, the mission’s pastor met us and gave us the keys.  We walked in the door, greeted by cool air from the AC on a sweltering hot summer’s day, with fresh flowers on the table to greet us and make us feel welcome.  The kids ran around the house excitedly to pick which room to call their own. After we unloaded our bags, we walked across the street for dinner at Three Parrot’s Tacos.  We were home.

We want to thank the pastor and members of First Baptist Benbrook for providing our family with the opportunity to live in this home during our time.

The Lord has used this time in America to transition our family back to the US, and also to speak very clearly to our family about our calling to serve Him in Thailand.  He has renewed and refreshed the vision to see Thai and ethnic cell groups of believers started in North Thailand that will develop into churches that reach out to their communities and to the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  We do this through Narrow Gate Farm and Dairy a local Thai farm project where we use our community relationships to open doors to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Moving out of the house, means that we are beginning to travel and visit with family and friends.   AND we want to see you!!!   We will be in the Nashville, TN area from July 1 – 15, and back to the DFW area July 16 – 31.  Let us know if you would like to contact and visit with you directly and we can make that happen.  ALSO…. During the next Several days.  Be on the look-out for an invitation from us through email, Facebook, church websites, and our blog about some events near-by, where we can gather to visit and share about the vision and task that God has given to us in Thailand.


The Brittan Family Tour will be meeting on select summer evenings! So put these dates on your calendars now and plan to be there, eat together, and share….

This is a great time to catch up on our family and ministry, as well as a terrific time to introduce your friends and mission minded partners to the ministry of the Brittan Family and our project at Narrow Gate in Thailand.   Be in prayer for these events, and that God will demonstrate His love for the nations through the prayers and financial provision for this ministry.
