"I have come that they may have Life and Life abundantly." John 10: 10.

As a missionary, I am reminded that we to have transitioned our culture and lifestyle to that of those with whom we serve along the Thai-Burma Border, and that we to have the same message of "Good News" that Jesus does for those who believe. Our vision is to develop pastors Biblically at Narrow Gate Asia as well as vocationally. We see this transition in ministry style as crucial to our entrance to the local community and to the long term sustainability of overseas ministries.

That said ... God has used the past two years to establish our work here in North Thailand for this moment.. I met yesterday with a young man and his wife, who will be coming to live at the farm next week. He will be the first young church leader to learn first hand in our farm about Bi-Vocational ministry. He will live life on the farm while building equity in livestock for his own future farm, but more than that, he will be discipled, learn from God's Word about church planting, and apply what he learns in local ministry in the community surrounding our farm.

SanTee and his wife TaaySon have been called to plant and pastor a church in Myanmar, and it is our prayer that the Lord will use his time at Narrow Gate Farm and Dairy to prepare his heart, his mind, and his body for service in the field.

Please pray with us for his transition to farm and ministry life. I would also ask you to pray about how God might use you to sponsor a portion of this young couples monthly support while they learn, or how you might assist them in building equity in livestock that will help them support their family and ministry for years to come.

Thank you, and God Bless!
