Still in Awe

I am still awed at how God is working in my life and the lives of my children.  As I spoke to one of them and they relayed to me what God was doing and moving them to do I whispered a prayer of thanks to God as well as expressing parental concern and compassion for the road that He was leading them to travel.  It has always been my prayer that God would use each of my children to further His glory and Kingdom; that they in someway might outshine the lives of their mother and father; casting a greater shadow and making a greater impact upon the world for the cause of Christ.  Graciously, God is allowing me the privilege of seeing it playing out as I see Him at work in them.  All I can say is thank you Lord, and please help me to see it as a wonderful privilege as you take them wherever it is that they are to go to fulfill your purpose for their lives.

Thailand Trip

It is good to be back home.  I am always awed at the privilege of being a part of God's kingdom work and seeing His hand in the lives and ministries of His people.  Brent, Tawm and Owen Rosendal are doing great.  Owen and I became quick buddies.  Antioch in Chiang mai is also doing great and we enjoyed a great time of fellowship, even though by Sunday night I was struggling with jet lag.  Brent and I had the opportunity to go out and see the work at Kanetchu Baptist Church.  We had a time of teaching and discipling.  It was good to see how past efforts of the Barnetts bearing fruit as God continues to work through the Rosendals.  Things have been planned and set in place for future training sessions for the pastors in that area.  Please continue to remember these works in prayer as they strive to reach their world for Christ.
