Rising Leaders in Training 💪🔥

Last week’s SWAT training was something special.
Art and Josiah took the lead — guiding the team with strength, confidence, and servant hearts. Seeing them step up and pour into others was powerful.

They were supported by Gedt, Isaiah, and Naomi, who jumped in to help. For Isaiah and Naomi, this was their first time assisting in a training session — and they did an incredible job!

Watching the next generation take ownership of the mission and lead with excellence reminds us that true leadership starts with a willingness to serve.

“The function of leadership is to produce more leaders, not more followers.” — Ralph Nader

One of our children, Solomon had surgery today on his arm, unfortunately they had a difficult time waking him up and brought him straight to ICU. Please join us in prayers for a complete recovery.

Also, there is a need for financial help, the surgery was unexpected today let alone icu. If you are willing and able to help in any monetary way the link will be in the comments

Thank you for prayers and support.

here's our newest newsletter....

Clean up has begun. It’s hard. It’s surreal. Prayers appreciated.

Update:
Today we are all united together. We’re staying with some friends, and grateful for ALL they’re doing!

Water has receded and we were able to go see the inside of our house. Some things will be salvageable, but most isn’t. It’s hard. But He always takes care of us. And we’re ok, and taking it day by day.

I’m sorry I haven’t been responding to everyone. I hope you understand I’m exhausted. From trudging through water to getting separated from the kids, and now my health. I’m having kidney issues as well as shingles came back. Prayers appreciated.

The water has receded. BUT we are not out of the woods yet another typhoon is headed to the coast & we received word that China opened their Dams & are allowing water into Myanmar, causing them to open their dams. So more water is expected to head this way. Vietnam was hit bad & many places around Thailand are still getting rain resulting in mud slides. The community effort is amazing not just among us expats but the Thai people, food & water are being distributed to the effected flood victims & those who are simply without power. People are offering up set skis & wave runners to assist in rescues. The hotel we are at is housing many rescue teams & they are coming & going with boats & food & big utility vehicles. Amazing to see people work together & feel the sense of community around us. 🇹🇭

By our school is flooding, so we took a walk to see if we could help…

Village outreach near the land SWAT has purchased. This village is not Christian but open to help & prayer. Part of the team played games & did dental checks while another part went to visit shut ins & bring food & supplies to two families in need and offering prayer to many. 🇹🇭

Our little library has grown from a random group of books to a legit room that the kids can access & check out books. We are up to over 550 books thanks to some wonderful donors & teachers sharing books with the students. We would like to think The Black family and the Pachuau family along with Miss Kassie Light, The Espy family and The Willingham family for their donations 🙏📚 🇹🇭
