"Thanksgiving Challenge"

"Let them also offer sacrifices of thanksgiving,And tell of His works with joyful singing." Psalm 107: 22.

Our "CO-WORKER CELEBRATION" in Fort Worth, TX was a great success, and we are thankful for everyone who came, helped, and shared during our time together! We got to see friends, family, and 'Co-Workers' from across the Metro-plex. We shared Live from Thailand, and also got to hear testimony from our "Co-Workers" about what it means to pray, serve, and support the ministries of Narrow Gate Asia. If you were not able to make it, don't worry! We are planning another event to take place during the first part of next year in the North Dallas Area.

Celebrating what the Lord is doing is an important part of our Christian walk. We all need to take time to reflect for ourselves about God's goodness. But it is also important to set aside special times for celebrating with the communities that we belong to. Last week we celebrated with our friends at Narrow Gate Asia, This week, we will celebrate "Thanksgiving Day" with friends and family, and this past Sunday we celebrated "New Rice Harvest" with our friends and AkHa Church in PhaaMii. Pastor AaMee was a gracious host as he shared God's word, God's Blessing for the PhaaMii People, and also ample portions of AkHa food. When we celebrate His goodnes, we are not only thankful, but we should be satisfied with the amount that we have, and discover ways that God will allow for us to share it with others.

This spirit of Thanksgiving is prompting many to share sacrificially through Narrow Gate Asia. When this happens we see the Love of Jesus go forth in a land where His name has never been heard before. While I have been hesitant to do so, I continue to be challenged by many to share very specifically about the needs of Narrow Gate Asia and for the Brittan family to live and minister to the border people groups of North Thailand and Myanmar. So with thanksgiving for His abundance, I am including a list for you in the form of "Prayer Requests". I hope that you will pray for God to use you, your prayers, and support to fulfill these and many other ministry needs. Thank you for all that you do to support our family and our ministry. We could not be here without each and everyone of you.
