N'New ... our Thai son!



In Thailand family and community are important. Our househelp is much more than a cleaner ... she and her son N'New are a part of our family! They came to us after being abandoned by P'Nok's husband. Nok can not read or write but loves God and is a faithful part of our team. They rent a single room next door to the Youth House where they sleep each night but during the day they work, eat and relax with us. N'New is as much a part of our family as our own three kids.

Pray for Nok as she raises New by herself
Pray too for New that he will grow to know and love God for himself
Pray for us as we receive them into the family that we will truly demonstrate the love of God to them and provide a safe place for them to grow in their faith

Happy Birthday Bethan Ruth!



September 11 Bethan Ruth turns 4. On Saturday 8th September we enjoyed a family celebration with her Swiss friends and special uncles and aunties joining for lunch. When asked what she wanted to eat for her birthday lunch she chose fried fish with garlic, rice and vegetables ... with icecream and chocolate cake!!

Happy Birthday Bethan Ruth!
