\"Sharing<\/a>

Sharing Thai Experiences on the Patio with Friends<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cDo all the good you can. By all the means you can. In all the ways you can. In all the places you can. At all the times you can. To all the people you can. As long as ever you can.\u201d\u2015\u00a0<\/span>John Wesley<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWe must work the works of Him who sent Me as long as it is day; night is coming when no one can work.<\/span>\u201d (John 9:4<\/span>) \u00a0Jesus<\/p>\n

The quote and\u00a0verse came to me as I was considering the work of two special friends and their young family who spent the\u00a0last two years in Thailand, from where they have just returned for some needed rest, refreshment and recharging. They are soon headed back!\"IMG_7674\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Alex, Brook, and their three children visited our church last Sunday to share with our community what they experienced in Thailand\u00a0and what they sense the Lord is doing there. It was a great time as they shared\u00a0openly from their hearts, something any listener appreciates.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7585\"<\/a>They returned to our city and\u00a0our patio three days later to share more of\u00a0their experiences with 25 friends invited for that purpose. Challenging, courageous, inspiring, thought provoking, and beautiful is how I would\u00a0summarize their story.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7594\"<\/a>\"IMG_7555\"<\/a>There isn’t time or space to recreate it here, and I couldn’t anyway, but it serves as a reminder to be about the King’s business, in your realm, wherever He’s planted you.<\/p>\n

And it’s a chance for me to introduce you to friends Alex and Brook. If you’re looking for a place to sow into the kingdom of God some prayers, money, friendship, communication?\u00a0\u00a0Their lives are good soil. They’re heading back to Thailand for the next chapter of\u00a0adventure<\/a> to make disciples of Jesus, and to serve His people there soon. Here’s a link to their webpage<\/a> if you wish can learn more or\u00a0contribute.<\/p>\n

\u201c… give to charity; make yourselves …\u00a0an unfailing treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near nor moth destroys.<\/span>\u201d (Luke 12:33<\/span>)<\/p>\n
