We truly thought we would have more opportunities to post to this blog, but between the bad connections, loss of power, and our busy ministry responsibilities, we have had very little time/ability to spend blogging. We are sorry about that. Hopefully, you have gotten the emails we sent out along the way.
Today Arthur preached here at the City Gate Church at the request of Pastor Gampon. It was a wonderful service and the people were really blessed, especially, I think, the English speakers that live here (missionaries, YWAMers, etc). I'm amazed at how many non-Thais are connected with this church and it's various ministries.
Pastor Gampon has asked us to join him as he travels to hear an Indian pastor speak the next couple of days in a town about 4-5 hours south of Chiang Mai. We are excited to go along. The preaching will be done in English (Indian English), and Pastor Gampon will be the Thai translater. The rest of our team will visit two villages about an hours drive from here and minister there for 2 days.
The weather here is HOT and with the humitity at 94%, sometimes the heat feels unbearable. Please hold us up in your prayers. We are thankful that every once in a while we are able to be in a spot that has air-conditioning. Our group will be going to a market tonight to buy supplies for ministry in the villages and even though Arthur and I will not be going to the villages, we are going shopping with them--just to get into a air-conditioned store.
We send you all our love and remind you that you are in our prayers. The Lord has blessed us in marvelous ways; with answers to prayer, with healing from ailments that have come upon us, with words to speak of His goodness and greatness, with revelation of how to pray for people when we cannot understand their request (but God gives us understanding and discernment in how to pray and how to bless them).
Please drop us a comment. We'd love to hear how things are going at home. May God bless and keep you, until we connect again. Blessed be the Name of the Lord!!!
With our love,
Art & Doris
