Prayer and Praise Points, April 2013 Week Four

Prayer Points

Don travels to Bangkok on Sunday for meetings related to Grace starting early Monday morning.  Pray for safety in his travel.

For Grace International School as we still have a few openings for next school year.  Please check out the link here for positions still open.  Thank you for praying for these remaining postings to be filled.  Positions Still Open

Raining season will soon be upon us and we hope to continue to move dirt on the new site for the new campus for the school.  We have about 1/3 of the property yet to complete raising the level of dirt almost a meter in some places.  Please pray we will have the window of opportunity to complete much of this before the rains really begin to pour.

For Pastor's Art and Pat who are traveling and will return to Thailand early next week.  Pray for safety in their travels and for their churches as they are away this weekend.

Please pray for the 14 year old mother-to-be at Jasmine who is in her last month of pregnancy.  Pray she'll deliver a healthy  baby and that she too will be safe throughout the delivery.  Please also pray that the Lord would change the hearts of the family and that they would want to take the baby home.  She's pictured above holding one of the other mother's babies being cared for at Jasmine.


Praise Points

For the 20+ new faculty and staff joining Grace International School in the 2013-14 school year.

Don is doing better health-wise.  Less coughing and stomach problems.

It's wonderful to be back in Thailand serving the Lord at Grace International School and with the Free Methodist Church.

Looking forward to having Michalea, our youngest, come out to Thailand for a visit for a month from mid-May to mid-June.

Prayer and Praise Points April 2013, Week Three

Prayer Points

Wisdom in establishing a "balanced" and healthy schedule as we jump back into life and ministry in Chiang Mai.

For Chan, in a creative access country for spiritual and emotional encouragement.  He is looking for people of peace to help him in his "work" in the country.  Also pray for new partners to be able to maintain and expand his influence.

This next item is both a praise and a prayer request.  We've not given an update on the New GIS Campus in awhile so we thought we'd share with you some recent news put together by the school.  

Praise Points

For the recent Sierra Pacific Women's Retreat who raised funds for the ICCM Lahu Youth Hostel in Chiang Rai.

Praise for a time of fellowship for the women's CBSI (Community Bible Study International) wrap up to the year.

For summer jobs for Katelyn and Michaela.  And for a job during the school year for Michaela next year as a Peer Advisor.  Housing for next year has been worked out for both of the girls at SAU.

Our Neighbors - New Sky House Children

New Sky House Children
a ministry of the FMC of Chiang Mai

Please pray the Lord would raise up the $6-8,000 a year needed to provide a home, an education, feed, and cloth the seven Lahu children through the ministry of New Sky House.  That's about $1,000 a child per year or just over $80 a month.

The impact of investment keeps the children safe from being trafficked and mentors the children as the next generation to transform Thailand for Christ. 

Here are the pictures of the two boys:

and five girls:
