The prelude to a big move

Thailand...the land of smiles I'm told.

I have much joy as I write this update to

you! It has been a whirlwind these past 4

years in Boston from my work in Biotech to

our wonderful community at my church

Community of Faith Christian Fellowship

that I am so thankful to get to live life with.

God has taught me so many valuable

lessons while being in the corporate world

and as I walk with people of passion and

purpose in Boston.

What I will be doing in

Thailand?

One of my roommates from Boston, Sarah

Ladd, and I will join the current efforts of

Serving In Missions (SIM) in Chiang

Mai, Thailand for the next 9 months.

Sarah and I are responding to needs in

Thailand in the areas of education, justice, and

networking. The native English speaker is

in great demand and the door is wide open

for teaching English and other subjects in

the universities. In addition to opportunities

with SIM, we also hope to get involved in

other areas of social justice. One blessing is

that Sarah and I both have many

connections across the country of Thailand.

I feel refreshed and envisioned to begin this

new season with great passion! I very much

looking for ward to working alongside the

Thai people.

How You Can Help!

I covet your prayers and support. God

has really spoken to me about my journey to

serve in Thailand. To believe in one thing so

passionately is like finding a treasure chest.

However, to pursue that passion is different

kind of discovery. While exciting, it requires

a ruthless trust to unlock the chest and

reveal the hidden blessings that God has

prepared. (Matt 13:44-46) As you may

know, what proves to be most difficult on a

faith journey is that different keys are

required to unlock different chests in one's

life. So, with the right key, great confidence,

courage and discernment can unlock God’s

destined chest of treasure. I asked of the

Lord to keep me relentless in trusting Him

in everything that I do or even in the things

that I have no control over at all. As I do

that, I can rest assured that it's His will (His

best) for me whether the result is within my

expectations or not. Pray with me that the

treasure of this season will be shared during

my time and through my service in

Thailand.

For my 9 month term, we have raised support to serve in Thailand. Thank you to all of our generous givers!

Contributions will go directly to our efforts in Thailand.
