We're back online!

Greetings to everyone,

This last month has had a lot of things packed into it so we’ll try to summarize and make this a short update. In our last update we mentioned that we have been in the process of setting up a new foundation which YWAM would have in order to offer long-term visas for its staff. As many of you already know, we have to travel too much due to visa situations and now that we have been seeking out solutions and praying about we sense God’s leading in this director. Our goal is to raise 18,000$CDN as soon as possible to officially apply for the foundation. We have raised close to 3,000$ already and continue to pray for more support.

We had the privilege of having friends from South Abbotsford Church come and visit us for two weeks. Chad and Theresa Unrau came with their two daughters Cassandra (14) and Maya (9). We showed them everything we could possibly show them in Chiang Rai. Then we went to Hua Hin with them to have some fun and get to know each other even more than before. It was a great experience for them and for us. It was the first time that anyone from our home church had come to visit us in the field and we felt refreshed by it. We showed them where we serve and the people we serve with. We even got to spend a day with a team in a small village in the mountains of northern Thailand. That was an experience in itself. We felt very blessed by them and by God for bringing them. Our hope is that this experience will help everyone feel more connected even though we are half a world apart.

We’re back into the swing of things here at the base, serving in our capacities. We continue discipling the staff, the students and the people we reach out to. We really enjoy what God has called us to do here in Thailand. The kingdom of God is birthed, built and extended through relationships, both with God and with others, so to be in a position to constantly support and promote relationships between people is a joy to us. May God continue to build His kingdom across the nations and cultures, reaching all people everywhere.

We thank you all for your support and prayers and emails. We look forward to keeping up with you and having you be a part of our lives, even at a distance. God bless you and keep you and may His face shine upon you and be gracious and give you peace.

With love,

Rob and Cy
