WELCOME TO CHIANG MAI


Beloved,

It is now 12:30 am in Chiang Mai.  After a 5 hour flight (not 4 hours) from Seoul, we are finally checked in at our hotel in Chiang Mai.  It’s been a very long day for all us, but especially for our Norcal team members (Ron, Kristen, Debbie & Marvin) who have been on their feet and ‘seat’ for over 30 hours.  We will all sleep well tonight.

Upon clearing customs, we were greeted by Mike, Carol, Nancy, Jessica and the rest of the ZOE family.  It was such a sweet joy to see them and to be welcomed by them.  The weather is a little warm and muggy, and our Hawaii team members feel very much at home.  Before retiring to our rooms, we gathered for prayers of thanksgiving for all of you and for the Lord’s protective covering in today’s travels.  We are calmly anxious to meet the morning and begin the work that brought us to this beautiful country and its people.

With every note comes our heartfelt gratitude for your prayers for us.   They cause us to have great confidence in all that we will undertake, because we have a great God who hears and responds.  And just as His chosen people were encouraged by Joshua as he led them into the promise land, we also are encouraged – “Do not be afraid; do not be dismayed; for the Lord, your God, is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:8.

With thanksgiving for you,
Your Thailand Missions Team
