This past summer went by very quickly for quickly for me and my family. I went home this for the month of May and many of you already know that my older brother Butch passed away suddenly from a heart attack while I was home. Butch is missed by all of us very much and he holds a special place in all of our hearts.
Upon my return in June the family moved to a much bigger house and we are very grateful for this house. We signed a lease at very good price! The home provides us the much needed space that was needed by all of us. During the month of August I went up to northern Thailand to minister with a former student and also at a Bible School. The trip up north opened up the way for future ministry for the students this coming school year.
Now for the school year. We have students from seven different Asian countries and one from England. We have a great set of students. They all seem to have so many talents and are eager to learn. I know that one of the things they are learning is to tap into prayer. I think some new students were a little surprised at the aggressive prayer that we have. From the very first day of school we get the students involved in devotions, prayer and chapel. So many of our students this year have musical talents so chapel worship has been better than the past couple of years and we have only had one month of school. I can only imagine how good they will be by the end of the year.
