Sara and I have spent time learning about the world’s religions. We had a great class that we took while studying at Huntington University, our Alma Mater, and learned a ton. I’ve also spent quite a bit of time reading about Buddhism and religion in Asia in preparation for our coming to Thailand. We are [...]
I recently posted the Twitter / Facebook message above in hopes to find an answer to an issue I’ve been having since moving into our new place here in Bangkok. I literally spend 5 minutes in the shower or helping do the dishes and my hands wind up looking like I just swam a triathlon [...]
August 12th of every year is a National Holiday here in Thailand as the Thai people celebrate H.M. the Queen’s birthday. This same day is also the day in which the Thai people celebrate Mother’s Day as they view Queen Sirikit to be the Mother of the Thai Nation. For the past few weeks we [...]
Time continues to fly by so quickly for us that it seems like just yesterday we sent out our last newsletter when in fact it has been nearly 3 months ago! We’re doing quite well and invite you to click below to download our latest newsletter and get up to date on what has been [...]
I’ve received numerous emails, Facebook messages and Twitter replies about all that has happened here in our new, fare city of Bangkok over the past several months. We appreciate all of your concern and prayers but I assure you we are doing just fine. There is still a LOT of unknowns having to do with [...]
We’re in our new home and finally have internet. I guess it’s time to blog… I’ll be honest. I don’t know where to start. Last time I posted on here I was dealing with a snake that climbed walls and our final exams at the language school in Lopburi… _ But, here we are several [...]
So, yesterday morning was an interesting one. I was pretty well not motivated to start another week of classes. I’ve had so much on mind lately, another week of cramming Thai into my head was really unappealing. But my dull, normal Tuesday morning turned quite exciting when Sara opened the door to walk outside and [...]
Today I finished up yet another language exam. It’s hard to believe that I’ve now completed 8 of the 9 modules for language study here in Lopburi. It’s been a good couple of weeks. For this last module I actually studied outside of the language school with a “normal Thai guy” rather than a trained [...]
I still remember the first time I did a double-take. Sara and I were walking through the market in Bang Saen, Thailand nearly 5 years ago now after an English class we were teaching. I saw this pretty girl walking by me who made eye contact. I did a double-take. We caught each other’s eyes [...]
I realize not everyone has an interest in numbers. But numbers can help us get a better picture of the growth of the Thai church. I saw this excerpt of missionary Dwight Martin’s findings on 2009 Thai Church growth over at Karl Dahlfred’s blog recently and thought it was worth reposting here for my viewers [...]
