Team Work Retreat

We, as a Tai Yuan Team, gathered in Chiang Mai to have fellowship, updates, vision casting & prayer. It was a great time being all together. The kids had a wonderful time & we were all quite exhausted after…but a good exhausted. :)

Rainy season always brings surprises! 🌧️

Just as we were preparing to join our church family for a camping weekend, the rain started pouring—and the water started rising. Before long, our house and much of the surrounding area were dealing with flooding. Thankfully, the rain has stopped for now! Please pray with us that the rain will hold off long enough for the water to recede and that everyone affected by the flooding will stay safe. 🙏 We’re still hoping to join our church family tomorrow if the water goes down!

Baking Workshop

We had a great turnout for our baking workshop, including few students who are not Christians. Elaine led the baking and then shared part of her testimony, followed by a time for questions and answers. Afterward, our local pastor friends shared the gospel with the group. Overall, it was a fun and encouraging time of building relationships, learning together, and sharing about Jesus. *Please pray for the 3 unsaved students that heard the gospel*

From Northern Thailand

Summer was
busy time.

Travel, training, a new home, and growing relationships in Phayao have made this a full season.

We celebrated 75 years of ministry in Thailand, welcomed a university team from China, and began new ways of connecting with students through language, baking, games, and everyday life.
