We've been in Chiang Khong Monday and Tuesday. The guest center where we're holding the conference is on the Makhong River, directly across is the country of Laos. We taught 3 sessions on Monday and we'll have done 5 more by tonight. Thank the Lord! The meeting room has A/C! We had over 60 Hmong leaders with us today, please pray for the ministry.
These are long days, we hit the bed dead tired at night. Last night we were at a rather "rustic" hotel which featured box springs to sleep on (guess you had to pay extra for a mattress). But it was OK since we were so tired and the roosters got us up at 4:00am anyway.
God bless you guys! What a wonderful work you are blessed to do.
ReplyDeleteWOW, real box springs might actual be more expensive in the State…some agency would certainly levy a tax. The hard work sets eternity and I know you know that. Pastor Dan, your heart has been being set for this experience for long time. You and Pastor Paul have served our Lord with hard work, a timeless commitment with a long ministry life. The tougher the duty the greater the Lord cares and loves you guys. I am jealous for the blessings and crowns you are stacking up, and that’s not even your motivation…fringe bennies!! Miss you guys but good prayer time. Paul the FORGE was a drop-dead great close encounters with the Lord; missed your input; the FORGE is best with a full crew of pastor types. So don’t worry, Pastor Mark and Pastor John did well together. I feel very blessed to have two faithful men like you in my life for the example and model you so freely give.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, the pictures are GREAT!
