A LITTLE CHILD SHALL LEAD THEM...
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's
womb. Psalm 139:13
a quick note
It has been awhile since
we have written a prayer
letter, and for the that we are
sorry.
2016 has been an intense
year for us as you will see in
this letter. God has brought
us through many ups and
downs, both victories and
challenges.
But all in all, He is still
good. Though we have
endured much this year, we
are committed even more to
the ministry work He has
called us to.
And not only are we
committed, but we are
excited for what lies ahead in
2017.
Thank
you for
your
support!

Burmese
Christmas
A FEW HIGHLIGHTS
The first few days were spent in a
remote village near the Thailand border.
A few years ago, they would not have
been allowed to enter this area, but by
Gods grace, the country is opening up
slowly to outsiders.
But due to years of isolation, Micah ,
Josiah and the other missionaries on the
team were the first non Burmese people
to enter that village in generations. The
local government Buddhist school
cancelled school for the days the team
was teaching in the village because they
were so curious to see non Burmese
people. The village experience was just
what you might imagine a third world
village to look like. The houses were huts
built on poles o the ground, made from
bamboo with tin roofs. But for 2 straight
days, they were able to teach the truths of
the gospel to well over a hundred
Burmese villagers, from sunrise to well
past sunset. And they also ate meals with
the villagers...laughed together and played
a game of soccer in a cow pasture. God
used them greatly to speak about the
Burmese Marriage
Conference
We are still putting
together plans for a
Burmese marriage
conference. Pray that
this will come together
well.
Burmese Pastors
Training
We are also finalizing
plans for our first ever
Burmese Pastors
conference. Pray that
Micahs brain can have
clarity as he puts this
all together.
Ministry House
Pray that we can finish
the remodel of our
ministry house so that
we can use it fully for
Gods glory among the
refugees!
FALL 2016
FINISHING WELL
good health, stamina, and wisdom
to do what He has for us.
