Yesterday and today we had our dear friend and team leader, Dave Veldhorst, from Thailand visit us. MTW Thailand is having a partnership meeting in Tampa tomorrow and so, we got to see this guy. We had a great visit and it was incredibly encouraging to hear what God is doing in Ram 2 (where we lived) and to think about future missions with MTW Thailand. It made me extremely homesick for all of you who are ministering there, both our Thai brothers and sisters and the foreign missionaries (you know who you are!) and I just can't wait to get back, but I am also trying to be content with where God has us right now. I am more and more thankful for Mission to the World and the way God works through us as an organization, and the godly men and women we have to lead us and their hearts for the nations. We are blessed! Many do not have these same sentiments but I am thankful that we do! I would ask you all to continue to pray for those laboring in Thailand, that God would encourage them and give them the strength to press on in Him. Friday, February 05, 2010
A good visit

What a great picture of those guys! I'm glad you had an encouraging visit and I can only imagine how it made you long for Thailand. We miss you so so much! Continue to be faithful with all God is giving you right now!
(and your last post made ME laugh!)
glad you had such a good visit. I can imagine all the feelings you had.
love, momH
How nice! I'm sure it was encouraging and refreshing to spend time together dreaming about the future and reflecting on the blessings of the past...come to fruition! I'm sure you are sorely missed as much as you are sorely missing. God speed to the next 3 years!
thanks Paul and Crystal for your hospitality...long for the time when we can co-labor on the field again. You are in our prayers often..
