Commissioned to GO!!!






Wow, it's amazing! In just 38 hours we will be in the air, flying to Bangkok, Thailand. And from there, traveling by train to our first outreach destination, Chang Mai (in northern Thailand). The base leaders prayed for us the other night and commissioned us (in the name of Jesus) to "GO and make disicples". We received many words of encouragement and support.
We are sorry we have not been able to load the video of us walking the high wire; we need help with this blogging business. But be sure to take another look at the August 17th posting. We've added some snapshots of our week on the ropes course.
Thank you so much for keeping us in your prayers. We especially ask for increased prayer covering throughout September and October while we are overseas, ministering in nations whose languages we do not know and whose governments are not always appreciative of "westerners."
We send our love to you all. May you be blessed during the autumn season. We hope to continue to communicate via email and this blog while we visit Thailand and Myanmar, but we cannot promise that all our postings will get to you. Please keep in touch if you can, we (especially Doris) will need the reassurance that all is well at home.
With love we sign off for now,
Art & Doris

The Ropes Course






Good Morning! Well we promised in our newsletter to have a video of us walking the high wire on the campus ropes course but we are having trouble getting it to down load. We hope to succeed soon so in the mean time you will have to just take our word for it. Doris was amazing!


Here are a few snapshots.
