It has been a long time in coming, but we have our first opportunity to meet with Tai people here in this country.

 

For the first meeting, we are hoping to begin discussions to talk about what their needs are regarding their weaving.  But we also hope to share about their livelihood, family, and future directions for weaving training.  We look forward to the opportunity we have and also for the Light that can be shared with them.

 

One person in particular has asked numerous times how much they will be getting paid to come to this time.  For some reason this one finds it all about money.  As our manager says, “We are going to have to wash her brain of this thinking!!” 

• Pray that God give us wisdom and sensitivity during these days.
• Please also pray that we would find a suitable place to have these meetings.

The Taidam Christians need constant prayer, so that they will remain strong in the Lord. Living in a culture that is hostile to Christianity is stressful and very difficult for all Christians.

Colossians 1:9-11 For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding. And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience.
