PRAYER REQUEST for FREEDOM in Christ for Thai people - July 5, 2025

Dear Family, Friends, and Partners in Ministry,

I am sitting in my office on Saturday afternoon, July 5, reflecting on the wonderful outreach yesterday as we helped all of our friends and neighbors celebrate God’s hand in bring the great nation of the USA into existence.

We started cooking, yes, hamburgers and hotdogs, in the early afternoon and brother Doug and brother Gary cooked until about 6:00 in the evening. They cooked about 300 hotdogs, and about 300 hamburgers.

We also have an awesome partner church, Crosspoint Church, from Gulfport, MS that has a team of 9 people with us and they all managed the Carnival games yesterday that started and 4:00 PM and lasted until about 6:00 PM. Here are a few pictures from our Carnival games time and food time.

We love it when volunteer teams come from churches to help us reach into some of the least reached people groups in our world today. Here is a picture of the team that is with us at this very moment along with Doug and Paulette Piper who have been sent from this church and serve along side us through NTIM and are in language school preparing to help us launch “Project Payao” likely in the early part of Next Year. More on “Project Payao” in a future update.

We just wanted to thank you for praying for us on a regular basis and for praying for our wonderful outreach on the 4^th of July from the other side of the world.

Please pray for our Grace Language School team and the Crosspoint team as they did an English camp this morning with about 60 Thai children grades 1-6 that study English with us every Saturday morning. Here are a couple of pictures from today.

Then on Monday we will do an English Fun Day outreach at a school in Payao, which is the province south of Chiangrai. And then on Wednesday, we will be doing another English Fun Day outreach in Ball’s home town of Tueng. Pray for us as we go into our community as salt and light and with the greatest message the world could ever hear.

Thank you for your prayers and financial support to be able to reach into the darkness personally with the message of our great Savior.

May God bless each of you for your prayers and your gifts given in the name of our great Savior Jesus Christ.

Until all the people living in and around Northern Thailand have a chance to become followers of the One True God and His Son Jesus Christ.

Michael for the team…
