August 2014 newsletter update - sorry I'm behind at posting!

Dear Friends and Family,

Greetings from the field, I hope you are all doing well and staying encouraged in our living faith that we have in a living God.  

Found a house!

We have great news! We found a house in the Sa-hat-sa-khan District of the Province of Kalasin in the Northeastern area of Thailand (Isaan). What an experience it was trying to find a house! We are very thankful for our team leaders Rolf and Elfie who diligently searched with us (and for Jenn’s parents and sister who baby-sat for us!). On the last day of our house hunt, there seemed to be no hope of finding a house on this trip. During a coffee break we asked the coffee shop owner if they knew of any houses available for rent. He grabs a sign and holds it up. The sign read “House for rent call xxx-xxx-xxxx.”  Rolf made the phone call and everything from there fell into place. We later found out a friend in the States had been woken up in the middle of the night and felt called to pray for us. This was around the same time we found our house!

The house will need very minimal repairs, the price of the rent is very good, it has a gate in front (to protect Moriah from the road), and the landlord seems like a good man. The only negative is that it’s further out in the countryside, so we are not as centrally located as we had hoped. We rejoice however and praise God for His gift.

Finishing our time in Lopburi

In this last month of September, we will finish up school, pack/clean out our house, say good-byes to friends in Lopburi, and then take some holiday time as a family before the big move.

We appreciate you so much and are grateful that we can partner together with the goal to see the Isaan people come to Christ.

With grateful hearts,

Jay, Jenn and Moriah
