I sincerely apologize for my negligence in getting a newsletter out to our dear friends. Lack of communication does not mean there has been a lock of activity.  God has richly blessed our work, and we are beginning to witness what we believe to be God “taking the work into His own hands.”  We are His humble servants, and readily admit our deficiencies while acknowledging that He is all-sufficient.  As always we claim the promise that His strength is made perfect in our weakness, and that His grace is sufficient for us.

Allow me to just insert a personal note before I tell you of the work that God is blessing so abundantly.  Most of you know that I was in a motorcycle accident six weeks ago.  A lady ran a red light and struck us, damaging both the motorcycle and me.  Because of the heavy traffic at the intersection a policeman was changing the signal lights from a box at the corner.  He insisted that it was my fault.  I could have become a victim of the unwritten rule that it is always the foreigner’s fault had not some Thai’s stopped to help me who has witnessed the whole scene.  In a conversation that lasted nearly an hour, then made it very clear to him that they would go to court and testify to his false witness.  I thank God that they were there and especially that our grandson, Dominic, who was riding on the back of the motorcycle came through unscathed.  I sustained a broken Humerus and a dislocated shoulder, as well as multiple bruises on my left arm and chest.  I am still in the healing process and express to you my gratitude for your thoughts and prayers.  Please continue to pray for me because the healing process will continue for some time.

I will not elaborate further on our personal woes as it is not about us, but all about Him.  Here is a short synopsis of the blessings and miracles taking place at the All-Asia Media Center:

• Because of the generosity of Faith Camp attendees we have been able to drastically reduce the studio construction debt to Pastor Phamor.  A friend of his ministry made true on his pledge to match funds to donations we received.  With that promise still in place, we are only about $30,000 from being debt-free.
• Many of our immediate family, and our Church family in Kettle Falls, Washington kindly donated funds for immediate work at the studio.  Because of these gifts we are in the process of constructing our first set.  The drawings will arrive this week, and the materials will be purchased and construction will begin.  We are already planning for the programming and dynamic speakers that will soon be proclaiming messages on health, family life, and the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  These messages will soon be heard in multiple languages of Southeast Asia, and as funds become available they will be broadcast on television stations.  While waiting for those funds, the programs will be available immediately on DVD’s.
• Last week Venie, Dominic and I made five hundred DVD’s from a series that Peter Gregory did at a Karen camp meeting in April of this year.  They have nearly all been distributed, and by the way, they were duplicated on a machine that allowed for 15 copies at a time .  It is on loan to us from a friend from Australia, and supporters from churches there.  We hope to purchase one or two machines as God provides the funds.
• We now have what I believe is the perfect complement of video cameras. We received a third camera and it is identical to the two we were already using.  While not professional cameras, in God’s hands they will be capturing video that will bring honor and glory to His name.  We were able to use them this past week, filming a series that Pastor Phamor did  on Medical Missionary training, our health message, and the Three Angels Messages.  There was a total of 18 lectures recorded.
• At this same series my work was made easier because of a Pastor who has joined our team at the media center.  He is young and talented and can speak Thai, Karen and English.  He helped me video the presentations.  I am also training him to edit, and he will help me in that arduous process.
• We will soon be joined by a young family from Texas who have just dedicated their lives to mission service.  They are Daniel and Tesha Bair and their two toddlers.  We look forward to their arrival, perhaps as early as next month.  They will help to make our load lighter and their youth, dedication and enthusiasm will bring a welcome addition to our team.
• Those of you that visit our web site will notice some marked changes.  I have deleted previous newsletters and am in the process of designing it so that it can be viewed in Thai, Karen and English.  The videos that we produce will be available worldwide on the web site.  I have already uploaded videos that we produced of Amazing Facts evangelist Emanuel Baek here at our location, and as stated earlier, Peter Gregory at the Karen bible Camp.  Emanuel’s presentations were translated into Thai, and Peter’s into Karen.  They are available on You Tube and Vimeo.  Here is a sermon from each:

We hope that you will become as excited as we are.  We are told that before Jesus comes again, the Gospel will go to every nation, kindred, tongue and people.  For all too long the work has been difficult in Thailand.  We believe that God is taking the initiative, and the message that we love and in which we place all of our hope, will be accepted by the people of Thailand and Southeast Asia.

Until next month, may God richly bless and keep you.  Remember, “Our Heavenly Father has a thousand ways to provide for us of which we know nothing.”  Praise the Lord!
