I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. Philippians 1:3-5 NIV

We recently marked 25 years since we first arrived in South East Asia. The photo above shows our family back in 2013. So many people have journeyed with us over the past 25 years! We know your partnership has made a world of difference – not just to us, but also to the people we love and live life with here. Thank you so much for your constant support in all the ups and downs.

We’ve been reflecting lately on the significance of praying partners. We believe that many people here wouldn’t have heard the good news of Jesus or been recipients of acts of kindness if you had not been praying.

Praying partners, your prayers have kept us here in tough times when we wanted to give up. Your prayers have opened doors for us to walk through.

Your prayers have given us and our team courage and perseverance to start new ministries like the Education Foundation, the creation care work, the community café, reading gardens, social enterprises and other initiatives.

Your prayers have allowed us to build relationships, see people come into the Kingdom and to invest in local friends like Harry, Rita, Sarah and Ted and Phyllis and so many others who are impacting many lives here for the Kingdom. Thank you so much!

We give thanks for God’s faithfulness over the past 25 years and pray that we would remain faithful and be fruitful as we continue to serve here.

Keep praying with us that many more would come into the Kingdom as we seek to share the wonderful news of Jesus.

Thank you so much for partnering with us to make a world of difference!
