" Therefore, if anyone is in Christ,  the new creation has come:
The old has gone, the new is here!"
- 2 Corinthians 5:17
We pray that your new year is off to a great start! We celebrated 1-year living and serving in Chiang Mai on 2 January. It seems like yesterday that we just arrived! God has used your partnership to bless us tremendously in the last year. We are thankful beyond what words can express. We are excited to see how God continues to move in this new year. God has made one thing clear to us. Chiang Mai is our home until God directs otherwise. At the bottom of the newsletter are some practical prayer requests as we begin to plan for wisdom on how to sustain long-term ministry in Thailand.  

Let's Connect!

We would love to connect with you, update you on the upcoming year of life and ministry, answer questions, and pray together. Would you consider joining one of our virtual gatherings in the next few weeks?

December in Review

December was a special month - it is truly always a special month. Preparing for and celebrating the birth of our Savior is a highlight of our year. Always. Throughout the Christmas season we were able to welcome people into our home and show them Jesus’ love. We hosted a Youth Christmas Party as well as our church’s Christmas Eve service. 

Ross also had the opportunity to preach on 26 December and team up with Eirenee’ to create an interactive worship service for all ages. The service ended with a conga line of praise wrapping throughout the sanctuary. Worshiping God is too much fun to stay contained in one spot!
We were also blessed to host our first guest from the U.S.! Jeremy Snow joined us for a wonderful 10-days. He graciously came bearing gifts and treats from our families that we cannot buy here. Thanks everyone! Our hearts have been bursting with praise as we step into this new year.
What are you praising God for? 

 

New Years celebrations may be a few weeks old by now, but we have been praising God for as well as a few prayer requests.

 

PRAISES
 
  • We were able to enjoy a few days resting and resetting together at the beach. Together + Ocean + Climbing = Winning :)
  • We celebrated Eirenee’s 27th birthday!
  • We visited a children’s home with over 400 kids and hosted a VBS-style kids camp.
  • Ross started (officially) learning Thai. Eirenee’ is celebrating this the most. She is tired of hearing him butcher Thai words…though many good laughs are always had.
  • For all the people who continually support and pray for us.
  • That God is good in every situation!
  • That we were 74% funded for the year of 2021! 
 
PRAYERS
 
  • Financial planning and wisdom to support long-term ministry in Thailand (see the bottom for details). 
  • FBR ministry opportunity to serve in Burma in February and/or March.
  • Church ministry opportunities to support the continual growth and health of CCF. Specifically, the youth are hungry for community and encouragement as COVID has continued to create challenges with school and other “normal” social/life rhythms.
 
It is hard to believe how fast this last year went. We are so thankful for you all. Your partnership means more than we can truly put words to! We would not have been able to continue our ministry without your support.
We want to grow as stewards of God's gifts through your partnership. We would like to know how we can better communicate with you and help you to experience that you are a valuable part of our team. Would you please take a few minutes and share your thoughts with us in this survey? 

Thank you, thank you for your continued prayers and support as we continue on this journey! Your gracious giving enabled us to be 74% funded in 2021! Wow! We are blown away. We came here praying yet not knowing how God would provide for us to sustain life and ministry.

 

We are not yet clear on how God will provide financially for us to sustain life and ministry in Thailand BUT we believe He will provide! There are several support options we are currently, prayerfully considering. 

    • Fund-raise for full-support.
    • Bivocational - supplement partial-support with part-time work.
    • Work full-time seasonally (i.e. 2-3 months per year) to support full-time ministry in Thailand the other months.

Would you join us in praying for wisdom?
