Dirt, Jail, Kindergarten and 2 months away from Thailand, what more could we ask for?


Dear Friends and Church Partners,

For many of you …. Happy New School Year!

Support level: We are currently at 72% of our needed support (up 20% since our last update!). CTEN will allow us to buy plane tickets when we hit 75%, this is only another 150.00 in monthly giving that needs to be raised. We are trusting the Lord for His provision, our goal is to be as close to 100% support before we leave for the field. Late October is our new target departure date. Please pray for more partners and churches to send us out!

Kingdom Kids/Ban San Rak Ministry in Thailand: We now have our assignment in Chiang Mai! We will be working with the Kingdom Kids/Ban San Rak ministry, one of FCF’s projects. This ministry has homes for abandoned/ orphaned children. More details to come!

Local Ministry (Camp Speaker + Jail Ministry): In July, Jason was the elementary camp speaker at Grace Haven Bible Camp in Fillmore, Utah. Moriah went with him and had fun running around with the pastors’ children. They came back covered in dirt. J On Fridays, Jason and other believers from our church are sharing the gospel with the prisoners at the local jail. Many are from this county that we live in and have never heard the Biblical gospel before. Hearts are open, please pray for these men.

Kindergarten: We have a kindergartener! Moriah will attend the local charter school here in Ephraim before we head back to Thailand. Both Moriah and mom are excited to have a little break from homeschooling. J


Thank you for your continued prayers and partnership in the gospel.


Blessings,

-Jason & Jenn

THAI CULTURE CORNER
FEET…they’re a BIG DEAL!
Thai people really don’t like feet. It is considered the lowest part of the body, whereas the head is the highest/holiest.

You would NEVER in front of a Thai person…
-put your feet up on anything (ie coffee table, a chair, etc.)
-use your foot to move/pick up something or turn off a fan
-allow your foot to be pointed at someone when sitting
 

Prayer:
*Future FCF team in Isaan & hearts of the Isaan people
*Remaining 27% of support to come in quickly!
*For the children/childcare workers in the Kingdom Kids/Ban San Rak ministry

Praises:
*One of our new partners bought us a new computer, PTL!
*We have secured a project for our first assignment in Chiang Mai!
