Anniversary Celebration

Gathering for Church Picture
This past Sunday we had a chance to enjoy celebrating the 17 year anniversary of Lincoln Baptist Church before we head out to Thailand. This is always special to me because I started this church in June of 2002. It is always a blessing to have a reunion with many familiar faces. 

Pastor Steve Johnson and his wife
The church has been having a nightly revival meeting that ends on Sunday night and Pastor Steve Johnson from Lighthouse Baptist Church in Denver is the guest speaker for it. He preached several great messages. On Sunday morning my wife took their picture with some of the Karen boys that come to Sunday school.

Pai Pai with Mu Doh and my wife
My wife had a visitor come Sunday morning with Mu Doh. The visitors name is Pai Pai. The wonderful news is that Pai Pai trusted Christ as her Saviour during the invitation time and made a public profession of faith! Mu Doh (pictured on left) is an old convert of my wife's from several years ago. It was good seeing her again as well. We always love seeing our Karen friends that we spent so many years ministering to when I was the pastor here.

Eh Kaw
I was glad to see Eh Kaw after Sunday school. I led him to Christ last March and he got baptized a week later when I was out of town. I am glad he is still coming to church with his kids. Please continue to pray for his wife. She is unsaved and doesn't want to hear the Gospel as I made an attempt on Saturday morning to talk to her. 

Bangkok, Thailand
We are heading out Thursday to Thailand to take care of some business with a pick up truck that I purchased and to be able to make final preparations for our move later this year. The pick up truck I purchased from a retiring missionary. It is a 2006 Nissan Pathfinder that I got for $200,000 Thai Baht which is about $6,300 dollars in American money. This is a tremendous blessing for us to have a vehicle that will be ready and waiting for us when we arrive.
