Preaching In the Hills
Here are some pictures of my recent trip to Ma Kae to preach to the Karen Hill Tribe People in Thailand near the Burma border. The video below is in the truck on the way so you can get an idea of what the roads were like. The Village of Mae Ka where the conference … Continue reading
So much to say…
Dear reading friends… There is so much to tell you about…to bring you up to speed on…life decided to notch up to full throttle and we were caught unawares… After 50 hours of flying/sleeping/staying overnight in Bangkok, I arrived home from Alaska and God’s sweet gift and treat of being a semblance of His comfort … Continue reading
Visitor #2 and a Toe Ring
Yes, we’re feeling world famous. We move here and get two visitors! The real story is that because of “Cobra Gold”, a joint military exercise between US and Thai troops, we get to see some folks from Okinawa (hey, it’s cool to go to Chiang Mai and say, “oh yeah, I know people there”). Our … Continue reading
New Year’s Eve
Wow! I have been seriously negligent on our blog. I informed Jen that she had to start writing again when we move to Thailand since she is the writer in the family anyway. On New Year’s eve we are in the midst of packing everything up and getting ready to load our container in 4 … Continue reading

Starting on July 1st I will be serving as the acting Director of … Continue reading
Discipleship Training School
Wahoo! One of the dreams of the Malachi Leadership team, and for me in particular, is to have a Discipleship Training School (DTS) that is open to everyone but especially targeted to students coming out of the military communities around the world. Military students are generally very open to missions. They have already often left … Continue reading
Kate’s last day
Today is Kate’s last day in the office. Some of you may know that two years ago I was close to approaching burnout. My boss had recommended that I get an Admin Assistant. I didn’t want to spend the missions money on something so frivolous. What I didn’t realize then was that it was essential … Continue reading
Making Packages for the Free Burma Rangers
Some of the students who have been helping us out with Stop Slavery, helped to put together care packages for the people that the Free Burma Rangers minister to. It is always so fun to see students step up with time, money or talents to help projects that further the Kingdom of God around the … Continue reading
