“For every beast of the forest is mine, the cattle on a thousand hills.” Psalm 50:10.


As seasons change, the Lord brings with it new blessing and new opportunity.  Yesterday, we were blessed at Narrow Gate Farm and Dairy with the birth of our newest buck at the farm.  This begins our kidding season, a time when we have lots of new babies at the farm.  We have seen hundreds of little goats born in our farm, and I never cease to be amazed at the miracle and the beauty of new life.  A doe is pregnant for about 5 months, and then when that special time comes, she instinctually knows just what and how to deliver this new baby and begin to raise it.  Immediately, she will begin to clean and care for this new goa, gently encouraging it to stand and walk.  With-in just 15 minutes, this new little one will have its first taste of the fresh milk.  It will be these first sips that are most nourishing and important to insure that they have good health.


This single new life represents the beginning of a season that will bring with it at least 50 new goats for our herd.  And so, we are reminded, that everything has a season.  We are already planning for planting season next May and we have ordered our grass seed that will further develop our farm and increase our capacity to grow feed for our goats.   As a project we have just come through a long season of establishment and growth for our farm/outreach project.  As we look to the future, we look forward to a season where God will begin to use our little goat farm to build relationships in the community that will birth and grow the local church among the Northern Thai (Khon Muang) people of Thailand.


Historically, much effort has been made to do outreach among the hill-tribes, minority, and at-risk communities in Thailand.  I believe that the next season of Kingdom Impact in Thailand is going to be among the Thai, and specifically towards the business people and leaders of the community. Our relationships at Narrow Gate Farm and Dairy are already opening unique opportunities to share the love of Jesus in real and tangible ways in the community.


The Brittan Family ministry, uses Business as Mission 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.  Narrow Gate Farm and Dairy has been the focal point of our ministry outreach and integration with the community and will continue to grow and serve in that role.


As we see this new life in the farm today… I am reminded of God’s call to bring Life to the people of North Thailand, and that everything we have and everything we do belongs to HIM and brings HIM all the glory, honor, and praise.

As we enter this season to celebrate the Gift of Jesus, we also want to thank you for considering The Brittan Family and Narrow Gate Farm and Dairy as your ministry partners.  We appreciate your prayers, encouragement, and financial support, and we pray that you too will consider partnering with us during this year end time of sharing.  Thank you.
