Northern Dongs

There are 1,100,000 Northern Dongs in the Guizhou and Guangxi provinces of China. Of those, 550 (.05%) believe in the Lord. Let’s pray for their faith to be strengthened and for the rest of the Northern Dongs to believe.

Currently, there are Christian workers working with this people group. Let’s pray that they would be effective in reaching out to the non believers.

Relaxing the Thai Way

At left is Eng, wearing a Thai shirt and enjoying a cool drink as he lounges on some floor pillows.

The other photo was taken in front of the entrance to the resort. Thailand is blessed with beautiful flowers and foliage and up where we were, which was on top of a mountain, the vegetation seemed even more lush and thriving.

Heaven's Gifts

To celebrate our 19th wedding anniversary (February 28, 1987) and 22nd anniversary (February 29, 1984 being the date we started going out), we, Eng and Linda, stayed overnight at a resort. We thoroughly enjoyed our time together and the place where we went. While there, we discovered what the resort was referred to - as seen on the right.

And as if the Lord wasn't through in reminding us that the blessings were from Him, as we went home, we were taken to a spa by a friend. While there, we received our anniversary gift, a wonderful 2 hour and 45 minute body and feet massage. Our friend picked a completely random massage plan and what did the name of the plan turn out to be? Heavenly Plan! The Lord is simply awesome.

To the left is Linda with the view of the mountains as they took their morning walk.

Younuos

This week, March 27th to April 2nd, we are praying for the Younuos who are from the Guangxi Province of China. There are 9,700 of them and no one believes in the Lord. Currently, no one works with them.

Who will speak to the Lord daily about workers so that they can go?

Shirt To Go

This year, 15 year old Evan attended his first Valentine's Banquet by wearing his own 'formal' shirt. Together with a friend, Evan created this masterpiece using permanent black markers. Awesome!

Evan- "Alright, hey, this is Evan. There are some who would say I am both a writer and an artist, and there are others who would say that i'm just your average, Asian-Canadian, adolescent third culture kid, so who am I to say who's right?
Anyway, I like to read a lot, when I can find good books (which is not easy here in Thailand). And I edit and co-write both this blog and our bi-monthly email update (which I enjoy some of the time). Mostly I draw on homework, notes, and other random assorted pieces of paper I can find, though I sometimes like to vary to other more interesting mediums, such as skin or cloth."

Ethan Turned 5!

On February 27, Ethan turned 5 years old. The picture on the left was taken when he was opening his presents.

When not hamming it up for the camera, Ethan likes watching TV or playing the computer or some other electronic gadget. He loves to sing and dance.

His most recently heard word from the Lord is, "some enemies change, but these ones (referring to the demons) don't".

Jiongnais

The Jiongnais (pronounced Chee-ong Nai) are from the Guangxi province of China. There are 101,100 of them and not one person believe in Jesus. Currently there are no Christian workers working with them. How can this be? Let's pray for them!

Who will support the workers financially so they can go?
