That the World May Know

Over two thousand years ago, angels proclaimed ‘Good News of Great Joy’ to the Shepherds.  Gary and I are privileged to continue their mission and proclaim the good news of Jesus wherever He sends us.   

Earlier this month we were in Kenya, East Africa, teaching Pastors and Leaders who don't have access to formal training in a Bible School.   What a joy to encourage them, train them, and see them activated in the gifts of the Holy Spirit. 

Gary ministered two Sundays at our host church. It was powerful to worship and fellowship with our Kenyan Brothers and Sisters.

Students and Teachers.  The Joy of the Lord Fills our Hearts.

Since we were already in Kenya - we took a personal vacation and went on safari. 

It was amazing to see God's creation up close and personal. Trying to imagine how Adam felt when he saw the animals come to him to be named! 

All we can say is ‘Wow God’!   

Your continual prayers and faithful support are greatly appreciated. As we walk through open doors it's a great blessing to not worry about the financial cost.  

A new year is almost here: what does God have in store for you?  He promises that whatever it looks like, He will lead and guide you as you continue to submit yourself to Him. Our prayer is that your heart will be filled with the eternal peace that comes from the One we celebrate – the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:2-6)

Getting Around Myanmar

Depending where we are and what we are doing, getting around is always an important consideration.

Motorcycles and scooters are prevalent in Myanmar - so we might jump on with a friend to head across town to lunch.

Within the city of Kalaymyo, tri-shaws are common and practical.  Basically it's motorcycle with a custom-built side car.  One passenger faces forward, the other faces backward.  Packages can be stored under the seat and the roof works to shield you from either sun or rain.    (For those of you concerned about safety - they don't go very fast, and their three wheels make them quite stable.) (For you grandparents who immediately notice the little guy photo-bombing us - he is the son of Anna & Khai Pi - our friends and ministry partners.)

You can hire a vehicle - our driver Mr. Dal safely navigated the windy mountain roads.

And when it's not too hot or too wet - we prefer to use the original mode of transportation and walk.

Wherever your travels take you today, and however you get around - know that we appreciate you!

Blessings ~ Pat
