Greetings in the peace of the Lord. We have returned to the United States after completing a month-long summer mission in Thailand and two weeks in Korea meeting with ministry partners. This summer mission was the culmination of three years of prayer and preparation. It was a deeply meaningful time in which we experienced God’s guidance and abundant grace. Three years ago, God placed a desire on our hearts to prepare the next generation globally focused missionaries. As we continued to pray about this, a missionary recommended us to lead this international short-term mission and training project, and by God’s leading, we had the opportunity to serve in this ministry. About 30 people from 15 countries participated in this summer mission and we had the opportunity to provide an intensive, month-long training for eight young missionaries and students who have a vision for conference ministry. They came from diverse regions, including Asia, Africa, the Americas, and the Middle East. Through the training, several participants made a commitment to serve God as full-time missionaries. They will all take what they learned and experienced during the training, discipleship, and evangelism back to their home countries to apply it in their ministry contexts and teach others. Please pray that the ministries in each of their countries will be strengthened and that they will bear good fruit through these young leaders.

| With Chiang Mai University students after sharing the Gospel |
Each morning, we prepared our hearts before God through devotion, praise, and worship. During the conference track sessions we taught and practiced how events can be used by God to win, build and sending people out into ministry. We led practical training in conference design, preparation, and execution. We also visited two orphanages in Thailand where we spent time with the children and shared the love of Christ with them. We shared the Gospel with students at Chiang Mai University and helped connect those who heard the Gospel with local ministries and churches in Thailand. One student we met was eating ice cream when we began sharing the Gospel with her. She was so attentive that she forgot about her melting ice cream, and in the end, she personally received Jesus Christ. Hallelujah! As we shared the Gospel with students in Thailand, we met many who were open to Jesus. However, because their families are Buddhist, many told us that although they wanted to believe in Jesus, it would be difficult for them to attend church. Please pray that the 98% of Thai people who don’t know Jesus will personally meet Him and experience transformation in their lives.

Special Prayer Requests for Ministry Partners
We would especially appreciate your prayers. Due to various circumstances, some of our regular financial support was discontinued in 2025. We currently need an additional $1,500 monthly to make up for this shortfall. To meet his need, we are focusing on developing ministry partnerships from August through October. We are thankful that several new ministry partners have connected with us in Korea, and some of our existing partners have also increased their financial support. We are praying that, by the end of October, God will provide all that we need through the ministry partners He has already prepared. Please join us in praying for this need. We also ask you to pray about how God may be leading you to partner with us and that He would show you how to participate. Thank you so much for your faithful prayers, love, and support. We are truly grateful.
