Well, we first have to say thank you so much for allowing us some much needed time off! We spent some time with our families and enjoyed a very blessed Christmas and then Meganne and I along with 10 other people from our church headed to the airport at 0 dark 30 on the morning of New Years Eve to begin what was the most incredible trip yet!
We went on a mission trip to SE Asia, Northern Thailand to be more exact and it was fabulous. We had so many trials getting there and while we were there but it was all worth it! We were able to see the kids, share the truth and hope with them, love and play with them as well as teach them English. Most of these children are refugees from bordering countries and they are forced out of their villages with literally the clothes on their back, over 3400 villages on the Burmese border were torched, slaughtered or obliterated in some inhumane way in 2008. We love that we can provide some of the simple basic things these children need (shoes, coats, socks, hats,etc) as well as some of these children can be adopted and their schooling paid for. A lot of these children have seen their families murdered, some right in front of their own eyes. These are the invisible children of Thailand, they do not exist according to any government and get no help. We have added some pics for you to see, look at their sweet smiles they are truly a wonderful group of kids, we can't wait to get to see them again! If you are interested in learning more about how you can provide for any of their needs or would be willing to adopt one please feel free to let us know and we will get you that info. Thanks so much to a few of our clients who have already taken that challenge, we appreciate it!!
