Here we go…people are coming and going…plans are being made…Cadence Discipleship Training School officially kicks off next week and more people will be arriving.  Throw in a visa run to Burma for our family and we should be rocking and rolling by August! 🙂

Angela Velker is here to lead the female side of DTS…(I still want to focus primarily on my little “Rathmell DTS”).  I am struck as we study Timothy in our house church and the sweet legacy that Timothy was for Paul, that in so many ways, Angela is our “Timothy”…having known her since 7th grade, we are blessed to have her as one “entrusted to teach” the Gospel of grace to others.  Having her here is such a blessing.  Also making a cameo appearance was Kate Cooper, our former colleague in Okinawa, who is finishing up her Masters in Applied Human Rights. She came to work out Stop Slaverys’ vision for ministry here in Thailand for her final thesis.  Kate and Ang were giddy musical introverts together and it was about as cute as cute can get.

Jack said that Ang looks like a gangster in this picture!!

We so enjoyed their overlapped time here last week.  Kate has headed back to Europe to consider what God has for her.  Of course we’re praying that God says, “Move back in with the Rathmells, you dummy!”, but we’ll wait and see on that.

12 hours after Kate left, Nathan and Megan LaGrave, newlyweds who are venturing their first 6 months of marriage here arrived.  After admitting that Buddy, Ang and I all stalked Megan’s facebook page before we met her, we made formal introductions and already love her!  As Ang said, “We would expect nothing less from Nathan’s pick of single, godly women!”  Great job, Nate! 🙂

So…that’s the ministry update!  We are always overwhelmed by how much God has given us in the way of very wonderful, God-fearing, hilarious and amazing friendships…we are so blessed.

Thanks for all you do to keep us out here..we are so grateful!
