If I told the entire story about how God called us to Thailand it would be too long for this post. If I told you all the incredible things God had done leading up to our departure from Canada, how He moved in powerful ways, again it would be too long for this post. So I’ll give you our story in a nutshell.
In 2008 God called us to go to Thailand in a dream. Sell everything He Said, Your house, your car, and then leave your jobs. I'm relocating you. There was no doubt about this. We did just that, sold our home, we gave our vehicle away, and resigned from our place of employment. We were relocating to Thailand. Now the next question was, how do we get there, what will we do, and whom will we serve with? So, we prayed and prayed. Out of our prayers came the idea of going to a missions training school. So we looked up missions schools and found a couple. After a few phone calls to the schools, we decided to go to Global Frontier Missions in Talaxiaco, Mexico. We went there for 8 months and after graduation we went to Thailand on an exploratory trip. While in Thailand we got connected to an organization and went and served there for one year. Once we felt God calling us to another area of Thailand we moved to Chanthaburi where we lived for 2 years. We opened a community center, pastored an international church, prison ministry, slum ministry, taught English. We spent a total of 3 years in Thailand bringing the message of Hope, serving in community and just loving the Thai people. We left Thailand to go back to Canada unexpectedly because my mom was in critical condition in the hospital. Fortunately she walked out of the hospital to the doctors and nurses amazement. Fast forward about 13 years and again God is calling us back to Thailand. After a recent 2 month exploratory trip back there, connecting with close Thai friends and serving along side of them, we know for certain, Gods calling us back. Our target month is June 2023. We plan on being in Thailand long term once again. We would like to ask you during prayer time, if you would think of us, please pray that God continues to touch the Thai people and that He would bring in the support needed. This is just a small part of a much bigger story, so many God moments, so many incredible stories to tell.

Be encouraged, our God is alive and He has a plan and a future for you and me. He remains Faithful and loves us without any strings attached. He IS LOVE
