Where Does TIme Go???


“Therefore Jesus answered and was saying to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in like manner. For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself is doing; and the Father will show Him greater works than these, so that you will marvel.” John 5: 19-20.

Excited, Overjoyed, and at the same time Terrified, we boarded a plane one year ago with this verse in mind to continue onward with the next leg of a journey. We were a brand new organization, with limited resources. We had been given a God sized task to reach the people of North Thailand and surrounding countries with the Gospel. But, we knew that during this time, God was going to teach us more and more about how he calls, guides, and provides for the things that He uses His people to do.

When we look back over the past year, we continue to marvel at His goodness. God has given us a vision at Narrow Gate Asia to Expand His Kingdom through Church Planting, Provide for His Work through Farming, Build relationships in His Community through Agricultural and Education, and to prepare His servants for the Harvest. Over the past year, you have heard about our Worship Services in Mae Sai, Evangelism on the Streets, Community Outreach through English Teaching, work at the Family Learning Center, and development of Narrow Gate Farm and Dairy to support ministry and engage the community. It has been a blessing during the past twelve months to be a “Co-Worker” with you through your prayers, support, and encouragement.

Going into this next year, we already have reason to celebrate! Narrow Gate Farm and Dairy registration with the Thai Government has been approved, the local Government offices have invited our family to conduct Language Training programs for the children of Mae Sai, and we are more connected to the community now, than ever before. As we celebrate these events, we are earnestly praying for a Thai National to partner with us and assist in coordination of ministry activities, and especially to work along side us in the areas of Outreach and Evangelism. "Relationship" to the community, to each other, to our team, to our family, and especially to our GOD, makes it possible for us to live and work in this part of the world. And with that, we celebrate our relationships with you.

Thank you for your prayers and support over this past year. We hope that you will celebrate with us, and continue to pray and be a part of what God is doing in North Thailand and the surrounding countries during the year to come.
