Hello, and welcome
to Jesus for Asia Now.
00:00:21.65\00:00:24.22
I'm Natalie Wood and
I have my husband Jon
00:00:24.25\00:00:26.32
here with me on the show.
00:00:26.35\00:00:27.99
We have a project to share today
00:00:28.02\00:00:29.46
that is run by some
close friends of ours.
00:00:29.49\00:00:32.56
Now their older son went with us
00:00:32.59\00:00:34.23
on a vision trip in 2007.
00:00:34.30\00:00:37.33
And I think we've got...
Do we have a picture of Ben?
00:00:37.37\00:00:39.47
Yeah, there is Ben right there.
00:00:39.50\00:00:40.94
In India. Yeah.
00:00:40.97\00:00:42.17
See we call it a vision
trip instead of mission trip,
00:00:42.20\00:00:44.17
because on a mission trip,
00:00:44.21\00:00:45.97
well, there is not a
lot of missionary work
00:00:46.01\00:00:47.68
you can do on a mission
trip, short-term mission trip.
00:00:47.71\00:00:50.48
And this is only two months.
00:00:50.51\00:00:52.18
So we wanted to show the people
that are on the mission...
00:00:52.21\00:00:57.32
On the vision
trip, wanted to show them
00:00:57.35\00:00:59.82
what different
missionaries are doing,
00:00:59.85\00:01:01.66
what kind of
different mission work
00:01:01.69\00:01:03.99
that you can do overseas,
00:01:04.03\00:01:05.49
and so we call it a vision trip.
00:01:05.53\00:01:07.50
So he came with us to Thailand,
00:01:07.56\00:01:09.40
we spent a couple
of weeks in Thailand.
00:01:09.43\00:01:10.77
We went to India,
did evangelistic series.
00:01:10.80\00:01:13.10
We had six teams
at the time, came back
00:01:13.13\00:01:14.90
and spent another
couple of weeks in Thailand.
00:01:14.94\00:01:18.11
And he just didn't come home.
00:01:18.14\00:01:20.54
He asked us, if we
could call his mom...
00:01:20.58\00:01:23.08
And stay. And ask
for permission to stay.
00:01:23.11\00:01:25.11
And the way that
he said it, he says,
00:01:25.15\00:01:27.28
"When I saw the need,
how could I just go home
00:01:27.32\00:01:30.25
and live a normal life,
knowing that I had to do
00:01:30.29\00:01:33.32
something to help these people.
00:01:33.36\00:01:35.22
I had to something."
00:01:35.26\00:01:36.93
So he stayed. Right.
00:01:36.96\00:01:38.96
So his parents and
his other three brothers,
00:01:38.99\00:01:41.40
younger brothers were
still here in America.
00:01:41.43\00:01:43.93
Yes. And they
came to Faith Camp.
00:01:43.97\00:01:45.93
They were helping
us. They were helping us.
00:01:45.97\00:01:47.30
They were staff at Faith Camp.
Set up and tear down and...
00:01:47.34\00:01:50.61
'Cause it was a do it
yourself camp meeting.
00:01:50.64\00:01:52.51
Yeah, that was big.
00:01:52.54\00:01:54.04
We had to put the
roof on the building
00:01:54.08\00:01:55.68
and everything would...
00:01:55.71\00:01:57.11
Anyway, that's the
story for a different time.
00:01:57.15\00:01:58.85
But they were
staff at Faith Camp.
00:01:58.88\00:02:00.88
So they heard the
missionary stories,
00:02:00.92\00:02:02.72
they heard the messages
about working with God by faith.
00:02:02.75\00:02:06.49
And they were
challenged in their lives.
00:02:06.52\00:02:09.96
And so few years
later, after Ben had gone,
00:02:09.99\00:02:12.96
they were Faith
Camp staff several years.
00:02:12.99\00:02:14.73
And then Ben came home.
00:02:14.76\00:02:18.20
And he got his next
two younger brothers,
00:02:18.23\00:02:19.93
Andrew and Jason,
00:02:19.97\00:02:21.40
and took them back
with him to Thailand,
00:02:21.44\00:02:23.94
and Andrew ended up
working in Cambodia.
00:02:23.97\00:02:25.77
He is still
working in Cambodia today.
00:02:25.81\00:02:27.88
With the, Wat Preah
Yesu/Maddocks Project.
00:02:27.91\00:02:31.08
Right, right.
00:02:31.11\00:02:32.35
And he has married a
Khmer girl from Cambodia now.
00:02:32.38\00:02:35.45
Yep. Yes. So
beautiful young lady.
00:02:35.48\00:02:38.25
And Jason ended up
working in Thailand,
00:02:38.29\00:02:41.22
and he just got married recently
00:02:41.26\00:02:43.63
to a beautiful
young American girl
00:02:43.66\00:02:45.33
that went over
there to help also.
00:02:45.36\00:02:47.86
So that's kind of
neat, but anyway he came
00:02:47.86\00:02:50.17
and he got the two of
them and they went over,
00:02:50.20\00:02:52.23
and they started
working there also.
00:02:52.27\00:02:54.57
And Ben was primarily working
and Jason has ended up working
00:02:54.60\00:02:57.84
primarily with the Karen people.
00:02:57.87\00:03:00.48
Yeah, right there on the border
between Thailand and Burma.
00:03:00.51\00:03:03.51
So on the north
western part of Thailand,
00:03:03.55\00:03:06.98
on the Thai side.
00:03:07.02\00:03:08.78
Okay. Yeah.
00:03:08.82\00:03:10.02
Well, now we want to
get on to Leroy and Lisa.
00:03:10.05\00:03:12.49
Because the next
thing that happened was,
00:03:12.52\00:03:14.36
they were asked
to go over briefly
00:03:14.39\00:03:16.42
for Sunshine Orchid
for just a few months,
00:03:16.46\00:03:18.89
while the other missionaries
had to come home on a furlough.
00:03:18.93\00:03:21.93
And they were asked to go
and take care of the place.
00:03:21.96\00:03:24.13
Yeah. And so they went...
00:03:24.17\00:03:25.57
And took their
younger son Travis with them.
00:03:25.60\00:03:27.50
Yes.
00:03:27.54\00:03:28.57
So after they were
there for a couple...
00:03:28.60\00:03:30.47
I don't know
two or three months,
00:03:30.51\00:03:31.84
and they
fulfilled their obligation.
00:03:31.87\00:03:34.58
They decided that
they wanted to stay,
00:03:34.61\00:03:36.38
'cause they saw
that there are thousands
00:03:36.41\00:03:39.15
of more villages without
any Christian presence at all.
00:03:39.18\00:03:42.88
And so they found a
place in Sangkhlaburi,
00:03:42.92\00:03:45.69
which is, you
have to go way down
00:03:45.72\00:03:47.12
south to almost Bangkok,
00:03:47.16\00:03:48.72
and then way over kind of west,
little bit northwest to the...
00:03:48.76\00:03:53.33
Almost to the
border of Burma again.
00:03:53.36\00:03:55.23
And they found a place there
00:03:55.26\00:03:57.60
that was owned by
another ministry and...
00:03:57.63\00:04:01.17
But wasn't being used.
00:04:01.20\00:04:02.24
And so they...
There was a grasp...
00:04:02.27\00:04:04.87
They were invited
by the other ministry
00:04:04.91\00:04:06.57
to use that place.
00:04:06.61\00:04:07.68
So there is a
bamboo hut there...
00:04:07.71\00:04:09.28
Bamboo house there
that they were living in,
00:04:09.31\00:04:11.48
and we have some
pictures of that.
00:04:11.51\00:04:13.15
Here's a video
of the bamboo house,
00:04:13.18\00:04:17.82
and this is the little
property that they were on.
00:04:17.85\00:04:22.22
And this is just
their living room,
00:04:22.26\00:04:24.66
and dining
room, and school room.
00:04:24.69\00:04:27.40
You can see
they've got thatched roof,
00:04:27.46\00:04:30.50
she's got a piano there,
00:04:30.53\00:04:32.63
she's got the
library there for school,
00:04:32.67\00:04:36.40
just like a regular
home, and on the front porch
00:04:36.44\00:04:39.17
they have their
little hammocks there
00:04:39.21\00:04:42.34
and there is little Destiny.
00:04:42.38\00:04:44.38
And we're going
to talk about her.
00:04:44.41\00:04:45.68
I think that was
Hannah. Oh, yeah.
00:04:45.71\00:04:48.62
So it's time to take
a nap for little Hannah.
00:04:48.65\00:04:51.29
So this is their life
there in Sangkhlaburi.
00:04:51.32\00:04:54.69
They wanted to
teach the young people
00:04:54.72\00:04:56.19
that came there how to
walk with God and English,
00:04:56.22\00:05:00.93
and so that they
lived in the same house,
00:05:00.96\00:05:03.37
there was only
one building there.
00:05:03.40\00:05:04.43
Yes.
00:05:04.47\00:05:05.50
They all lived
in the same house,
00:05:05.53\00:05:06.77
they all had worship
together, they all ate together.
00:05:06.80\00:05:08.70
Yes, yeah. Very
family environment.
00:05:08.74\00:05:10.84
Yeah, the school,
the focus of the school
00:05:10.87\00:05:13.21
was to have that
family environment.
00:05:13.24\00:05:15.28
Smaller school, small
scale, but really teach them
00:05:15.31\00:05:18.81
what it means to
live a lifestyle,
00:05:18.85\00:05:20.95
a Christian lifestyle.
00:05:20.98\00:05:23.02
Okay.
00:05:23.05\00:05:24.35
Now they were working again
with the Karen people group.
00:05:24.39\00:05:27.36
And they wanted to fit in
with the local population.
00:05:27.39\00:05:31.63
And so they
didn't buy a vehicle.
00:05:31.66\00:05:33.76
They didn't buy a
truck or car of any kind.
00:05:33.80\00:05:36.67
No. They bought motorbikes.
00:05:36.70\00:05:38.87
And they're not
heavy-duty big motorbikes
00:05:38.90\00:05:41.70
like me might think
00:05:41.74\00:05:42.77
they would need in jungle roads.
00:05:42.80\00:05:45.24
They were more like a moped.
00:05:45.27\00:05:47.54
No, 100 CC, 110 CC,
00:05:47.58\00:05:50.41
and they had a
lot of people though.
00:05:50.45\00:05:52.41
So they had to be ingenuitive...
00:05:52.45\00:05:56.79
Ingenious. Ingenious.
00:05:56.82\00:05:58.09
Yes. So they... Creative.
00:05:58.12\00:05:59.39
So they put a trailer on
the back of the motorbike,
00:05:59.42\00:06:01.46
they just
strapped it on to the seat.
00:06:01.49\00:06:03.09
And we've got
video of that as well.
00:06:03.12\00:06:04.73
Okay, yeah, we saw
briefly in the other video,
00:06:04.76\00:06:06.70
but here we go.
00:06:06.73\00:06:07.96
So this is
climbing into the trailer.
00:06:07.96\00:06:11.37
This is Sabbath morning,
getting ready to go to church.
00:06:11.40\00:06:15.44
This is the family van.
00:06:15.47\00:06:17.81
There is Travis, the
youngest one driving,
00:06:17.84\00:06:20.21
while I'm sitting
on the seat behind him.
00:06:20.24\00:06:22.88
There's Natalie,
Natalie is there.
00:06:22.91\00:06:24.88
Yeah. In the trailer.
00:06:24.91\00:06:27.32
And then, of
course I jumped into.
00:06:27.35\00:06:30.12
We're all on our way to church.
00:06:30.15\00:06:31.85
Now we should
explain who these people are.
00:06:31.89\00:06:33.05
There is the
little church. Okay.
00:06:33.09\00:06:36.26
The two getting out right there,
00:06:36.29\00:06:38.29
those were student missionaries
00:06:38.33\00:06:39.49
that joined them
for about a few months.
00:06:39.53\00:06:41.83
Right, two
sisters. Marie and Jenison.
00:06:41.86\00:06:44.50
Yeah. And so that's Travis.
00:06:44.53\00:06:48.00
And Leroy was
also in the trailer,
00:06:48.04\00:06:50.51
and Ben, the oldest.
00:06:50.54\00:06:51.87
That's right.
00:06:51.91\00:06:52.94
So while they were
there in Sangkhlaburi,
00:06:52.97\00:06:54.94
people started approaching them,
00:06:54.98\00:06:56.31
because there is a situation
that goes on in Thailand
00:06:56.34\00:06:59.91
that is similar to
other countries as well.
00:06:59.95\00:07:02.58
If a family breaks up
or one of the parents dies,
00:07:02.62\00:07:05.89
and the other parent
wants to get remarried,
00:07:05.92\00:07:08.56
and they have the children.
00:07:08.59\00:07:10.23
Many times the person
they're going to marry...
00:07:10.26\00:07:12.23
Doesn't want
the children. Right.
00:07:12.26\00:07:13.96
So they will leave
them with family sometimes,
00:07:14.00\00:07:18.00
by themselves sometimes.
00:07:18.03\00:07:20.14
Sometimes they sell them,
00:07:20.17\00:07:21.47
I mean it's just all
sorts of things happen.
00:07:21.50\00:07:24.04
Yeah, just
abandon the kids. Yeah.
00:07:24.07\00:07:26.01
And sometimes the parents
are drug addicts or alcoholics
00:07:26.04\00:07:29.34
or they need to
go and get a job,
00:07:29.38\00:07:30.75
and they just
don't know what to do.
00:07:30.78\00:07:31.98
So they leave the children.
00:07:32.01\00:07:33.08
Lot of opium up
in the mountains...
00:07:33.11\00:07:35.72
Yeah. In that area.
00:07:35.75\00:07:36.75
So they have had
that happen four times
00:07:36.79\00:07:39.55
that the parents had
abandoned these children.
00:07:39.59\00:07:43.16
So they have
four little girls now.
00:07:43.19\00:07:44.83
They had four boys,
and they're all grown,
00:07:44.86\00:07:46.86
and now they
have four little girls
00:07:46.90\00:07:48.73
and Hannah was one of them.
00:07:48.76\00:07:50.57
She was there in the
video in the hammock.
00:07:50.60\00:07:52.87
And this, you know, this
isn't just like borrowing
00:07:52.90\00:07:56.10
the kids for
little while, this is...
00:07:56.14\00:07:57.34
That's not baby sitting.
00:07:57.37\00:07:58.61
No, this is like taking
them on as their own children.
00:07:58.64\00:08:01.34
Right, it's like adoption,
but they can't actually,
00:08:01.38\00:08:04.21
you know, bring them
to America or whatever.
00:08:04.25\00:08:05.61
Right.
00:08:05.65\00:08:06.82
And they want them to
know their culture anyway.
00:08:06.85\00:08:08.58
And so I asked
them, I'm like, you know,
00:08:08.62\00:08:10.45
how long do you plan
to be here in Thailand?
00:08:10.49\00:08:13.92
And you know the
standard life time Adventist
00:08:13.96\00:08:17.33
or career Adventist missionary
is five years in a country.
00:08:17.36\00:08:20.83
Yeah, how that can be a career?
00:08:20.86\00:08:22.70
Yeah. I don't know but anyway.
00:08:22.73\00:08:24.30
But they said, well,
they've got to go through
00:08:24.33\00:08:26.77
at least high
school, possibly college.
00:08:26.80\00:08:29.27
So they're looking
at a 20 year commitment.
00:08:29.30\00:08:31.74
They're going to raise the girls
00:08:31.77\00:08:32.81
as long as they
raise their boys.
00:08:32.84\00:08:34.18
Yeah. And so this is...
00:08:34.21\00:08:36.81
They're here for
a long haul. Right.
00:08:36.85\00:08:38.91
Which is really important,
00:08:38.95\00:08:40.08
because if you just
go for a short time,
00:08:40.12\00:08:42.35
there's not much you can do.
00:08:42.38\00:08:43.65
I've seen a
missionary that was there
00:08:43.69\00:08:45.75
for five years in Bangkok,
and at the end of five years,
00:08:45.79\00:08:49.32
he started to become effective.
00:08:49.36\00:08:51.59
Yeah, because he
knew the culture then.
00:08:51.63\00:08:53.96
He understood the
people, he had made friends,
00:08:54.00\00:08:56.80
you know, things like that.
00:08:56.83\00:08:57.90
You can't just
make friends like,
00:08:57.93\00:08:59.83
you know, microwave popcorn.
00:08:59.87\00:09:01.30
Right, exactly. Right.
It doesn't work that way.
00:09:01.34\00:09:03.51
So they're making friends,
and as they make friends,
00:09:03.54\00:09:06.34
then people become
curious about their life.
00:09:06.37\00:09:08.61
That's right, we have
a quote from Mrs. White,
00:09:08.64\00:09:10.48
that talks about how
people can raise their families.
00:09:10.51\00:09:13.88
You know we think in our
minds, to raise my family,
00:09:13.92\00:09:16.45
I need to go where there is
Seventh-day Adventist school.
00:09:16.48\00:09:19.25
But this is
what Mrs. White says.
00:09:19.29\00:09:21.89
"If families would locate
in the dark places of the earth
00:09:21.92\00:09:25.16
places where the people
00:09:25.19\00:09:26.23
are enshrouded
in spiritual gloom,
00:09:26.26\00:09:28.36
and let the
light of Christ's life
00:09:28.40\00:09:30.37
shine out through them,
00:09:30.40\00:09:31.90
a great work
might be accomplished.
00:09:31.93\00:09:34.47
Let them begin their work
in a quiet unobtrusive way..."
00:09:34.50\00:09:38.47
That's from
Adventist Home, page 489.
00:09:38.51\00:09:40.24
Yeah, and I
believe that great work
00:09:40.28\00:09:42.11
would be done not
only in those dark counties
00:09:42.14\00:09:44.55
or dark areas,
but in their families,
00:09:44.58\00:09:47.35
the families of
the people that go,
00:09:47.38\00:09:48.68
because now you have purpose,
you have a reason to pray,
00:09:48.72\00:09:51.22
and ask for God's Holy Spirit.
00:09:51.25\00:09:52.59
You have a focus on
spreading God's word,
00:09:52.62\00:09:55.06
not just having a good life.
00:09:55.09\00:09:56.86
Right. Yeah.
00:09:56.89\00:09:58.19
So unfortunately,
right next to that property,
00:09:58.23\00:10:02.23
a village was built up.
00:10:02.26\00:10:04.03
And suddenly
their days and nights
00:10:04.07\00:10:06.30
were full of
heavy-duty rock music.
00:10:06.33\00:10:08.57
Yes.
00:10:08.60\00:10:09.67
And there was no
peace there anymore.
00:10:09.70\00:10:11.67
When they first moved there,
00:10:11.71\00:10:12.74
it was in the
middle of the country,
00:10:12.77\00:10:13.94
I mean there were few houses,
00:10:13.98\00:10:15.61
but it was very
peaceful and quiet.
00:10:15.64\00:10:17.15
When we visited
there, it was very quiet.
00:10:17.18\00:10:19.11
Yeah, and so they decided
that they needed to move,
00:10:19.15\00:10:22.78
because in a place where there's
00:10:22.82\00:10:24.55
thousands of
villages, thousands of places
00:10:24.59\00:10:26.99
where there is no
Christian presence.
00:10:27.02\00:10:28.42
The whole,
00:10:28.46\00:10:29.56
I mean the whole
country side is available.
00:10:29.59\00:10:31.89
Right, so they went back to
Sunshine Orchid for a while,
00:10:31.93\00:10:35.13
and then they felt
the Lord calling them
00:10:35.16\00:10:36.93
to one of those
unreached places.
00:10:36.97\00:10:38.60
Yeah, but Lisa had a bad back.
00:10:38.63\00:10:40.84
Her back couldn't
handle a bumpy road.
00:10:40.87\00:10:43.51
And so they had to find a place
that was remote in the jungle
00:10:43.54\00:10:46.14
but no bumpy road.
00:10:46.17\00:10:48.64
And so, Jason went out looking,
and he found an amazing place,
00:10:48.68\00:10:54.18
amazing location
with a really smooth road.
00:10:54.22\00:10:57.35
It's a river.
00:10:57.39\00:10:59.82
Yes, a river road.
00:10:59.85\00:11:02.12
So they would go
up and down the river
00:11:02.16\00:11:03.73
in one of the long-tailed boats,
00:11:03.76\00:11:05.89
which is a kind of
boat they use in Thailand.
00:11:05.93\00:11:08.30
I think we have a
picture or some video.
00:11:08.33\00:11:10.27
Yes, we have some video of them.
00:11:10.30\00:11:12.33
And this is when I visited,
00:11:12.37\00:11:14.17
just a few little memories
of my time there with them.
00:11:14.20\00:11:17.84
Okay.
00:11:17.87\00:11:18.97
This is her
getting out of the boat.
00:11:21.31\00:11:23.11
That was my suitcase.
00:11:23.14\00:11:24.28
Then I went out
again with Jason,
00:11:24.31\00:11:26.05
'cause he went out
to collect coconuts.
00:11:26.08\00:11:28.98
And coconuts were still good,
00:11:29.02\00:11:30.92
they'd be
floating down the river.
00:11:30.95\00:11:33.22
He'd be shaking to
figure out which one was good.
00:11:33.25\00:11:35.26
These are two little
kids, that's Destiny.
00:11:35.29\00:11:40.50
They walk up
this handmade trail,
00:11:40.53\00:11:42.96
up to the school,
that's the school building
00:11:43.00\00:11:46.23
built by hand
with some of the youth
00:11:46.27\00:11:49.24
that were there for the school.
00:11:49.27\00:11:52.37
This is little
Destiny. That's Hannah.
00:11:52.41\00:11:54.81
Now there is their house,
that's Leroy and Lisa's house.
00:12:03.89\00:12:07.96
Obviously it rains a
lot, and this was carved
00:12:07.99\00:12:10.46
by their own hands
right out of the jungle.
00:12:10.49\00:12:13.23
So they carved this
location out of the jungle
00:12:13.26\00:12:15.10
with their own hands,
00:12:15.13\00:12:16.56
and they got
there in late afternoon,
00:12:16.60\00:12:19.47
in evening we had a meal.
00:12:19.50\00:12:21.00
This is the school.
00:12:21.04\00:12:22.30
These are the students
that were there for the school.
00:12:22.34\00:12:24.07
We had a wonderful
worship and by candlelight.
00:12:24.11\00:12:29.08
We sang songs. They
have no power there.
00:12:29.11\00:12:31.88
That's right, they
had a little solar panel
00:12:31.91\00:12:35.42
that would be
enough to charge batteries,
00:12:35.45\00:12:37.35
but I had used all
their power to charge
00:12:37.39\00:12:39.99
my batteries for my camera.
00:12:40.02\00:12:42.29
So they had to go by satellite.
00:12:42.32\00:12:44.19
This is the
kitchen, the Karen people,
00:12:44.23\00:12:48.10
young people
would make breakfast
00:12:48.13\00:12:50.23
in their kitchen like that.
00:12:50.27\00:12:51.83
I mean, go through the day,
00:12:51.87\00:12:53.87
having school there in the room.
00:12:53.90\00:12:57.67
Okay, and they call this one
00:12:57.71\00:12:59.24
Jason's English Medical
Missionary Training School.
00:12:59.27\00:13:01.88
That's correct. Okay.
00:13:01.91\00:13:03.11
'Cause Jason was the one
that founded, and he was...
00:13:03.14\00:13:05.45
They were given this property
00:13:05.48\00:13:07.18
by the chiefs of
five different villages
00:13:07.22\00:13:10.32
that surrounded this place.
00:13:10.35\00:13:11.52
I mean they
weren't really close,
00:13:11.55\00:13:13.02
they are far way, but this is...
00:13:13.05\00:13:14.72
No one was living here, it
was being completely unused,
00:13:14.76\00:13:17.46
they were given
this place by those.
00:13:17.49\00:13:18.53
It was a government's property
00:13:18.56\00:13:19.76
and so those village
leaders were in charge of it.
00:13:19.79\00:13:22.23
Right.
00:13:22.26\00:13:23.40
That's what they
thought. It's like federal land.
00:13:23.43\00:13:25.10
But this building is kind
of a, bit of a miracle story,
00:13:25.13\00:13:30.11
because this is
the second building
00:13:30.14\00:13:31.81
that's on that same location.
00:13:31.84\00:13:34.18
The first
school that they built,
00:13:34.21\00:13:36.14
they had just got it completed
00:13:36.18\00:13:38.65
like on a
Wednesday or something.
00:13:38.68\00:13:40.78
And then
students for some reason,
00:13:40.82\00:13:42.78
most of them were requesting
00:13:42.82\00:13:43.99
that they go
home for the weekend.
00:13:44.02\00:13:45.25
So they went home,
and that Friday morning,
00:13:45.29\00:13:47.82
a big mango tree
that was standing
00:13:47.86\00:13:49.42
right behind the house
00:13:49.46\00:13:50.56
that had showed no
signs of weakness or anything,
00:13:50.59\00:13:52.66
all of a sudden,
just fell on that.
00:13:52.69\00:13:54.30
And this is like a 50 foot tall.
00:13:54.36\00:13:55.70
It's a dorm school building
that was three stories, right?
00:13:55.73\00:13:59.17
Two stories tall. Two stories.
00:13:59.20\00:14:00.67
There was a little
loft in the third storey,
00:14:00.70\00:14:02.50
but it was mainly two stories,
00:14:02.54\00:14:04.37
and it just
flattened the whole thing.
00:14:04.41\00:14:05.84
Right down the middle. Yeah.
00:14:05.87\00:14:07.88
And if any of the
students had been in there,
00:14:07.91\00:14:09.78
they would have been either
very injured or even killed.
00:14:09.81\00:14:13.82
Absolutely. And it was amazing.
00:14:13.85\00:14:15.28
Because almost
all of them went home
00:14:15.32\00:14:16.99
and the rest that were there,
00:14:17.02\00:14:18.35
there were on
the kitchen cooking.
00:14:18.39\00:14:19.75
Down with at the
house, the Sharon's house.
00:14:19.79\00:14:21.19
At the Sharon's house.
00:14:21.22\00:14:22.29
So they're
completely outside the building.
00:14:22.32\00:14:23.79
Yeah. It was a total miracle.
00:14:23.83\00:14:25.76
Right, and so there
were like, "Oh, my goodness,
00:14:25.79\00:14:27.76
it's taken us so much work
00:14:27.76\00:14:30.13
and so long to
build this thing...
00:14:30.17\00:14:32.13
What do we do?"
Yeah, it cost them...
00:14:32.17\00:14:33.20
$400 to build that building.
00:14:33.23\00:14:35.67
And they were like, "we
don't have another $400."
00:14:35.70\00:14:38.14
Right.
00:14:38.17\00:14:39.21
And then the students came back.
00:14:39.24\00:14:41.04
And they showed,
they used this opportunity
00:14:41.08\00:14:42.84
to show the students
00:14:42.88\00:14:43.88
how Christians
response to disaster.
00:14:43.91\00:14:46.38
And they says, "Well,
00:14:46.41\00:14:47.48
Lord must have a
reason for it..."
00:14:47.52\00:14:48.98
And so they kept it.
And he protected all of you.
00:14:49.02\00:14:51.09
Yes. They've told them that.
00:14:51.12\00:14:52.85
And the students saw it too.
00:14:52.89\00:14:54.49
Yeah, so they
started praising the Lord.
00:14:54.52\00:14:56.79
And within a few weeks,
00:14:56.83\00:14:58.29
they had
rebuilt the whole thing,
00:14:58.33\00:14:59.59
but this time, it
only cost them $12.
00:14:59.63\00:15:02.36
Right, because the students knew
00:15:02.40\00:15:04.20
how to get the thatch
00:15:04.23\00:15:05.33
and they knew how to
do the bamboo properly.
00:15:05.37\00:15:07.47
And the roof, they got
to get this right leaf,
00:15:07.50\00:15:10.51
and you've got to
fold it just right
00:15:10.54\00:15:11.97
and it's got to dry just right,
and in the previous were...
00:15:12.01\00:15:15.11
Stretch it or hook it
together, however they call it,
00:15:15.14\00:15:17.15
I don't know if they call
it sewing them or what, but...
00:15:17.18\00:15:19.31
The previous building,
they didn't know how to do that
00:15:19.35\00:15:21.08
so they had to buy the roof,
00:15:21.12\00:15:22.18
that's why it cost
them so much, $400.
00:15:22.22\00:15:24.89
This time it only cost them $12,
00:15:24.92\00:15:26.45
for like some wire
and some nails and stuff.
00:15:26.49\00:15:29.59
So within a few weeks
they had it build again,
00:15:29.62\00:15:32.46
the building that
you saw in this video.
00:15:32.49\00:15:34.46
Okay. All right.
00:15:34.50\00:15:35.96
We have another video
now of them at that place.
00:15:36.00\00:15:38.87
So they'd been
here at this property
00:15:38.90\00:15:40.10
for about two years,
00:15:40.14\00:15:41.27
and they had the school
running for about a year.
00:15:41.30\00:15:43.24
And doing amazing work
with these young people,
00:15:43.27\00:15:48.28
it's awesome.
00:15:48.31\00:15:49.61
Really wonderful young people,
00:15:49.64\00:15:50.85
and they were just
soaking it up, loving.
00:15:50.88\00:15:53.25
You know some of them
didn't like the rules,
00:15:53.28\00:15:54.82
they didn't like to
live like a Christian.
00:15:54.85\00:15:57.05
They wanted just do
whatever they wanted to do.
00:15:57.09\00:15:58.92
Some of them really,
really appreciated the structure
00:15:58.95\00:16:02.42
and they appreciated the
hope that Jesus gave them.
00:16:02.46\00:16:05.09
And, but then, some
really sad things happened,
00:16:05.13\00:16:09.56
because the
government in Thailand changed.
00:16:09.60\00:16:12.43
It became the
military government.
00:16:12.47\00:16:13.97
Yeah, it became
a military and so.
00:16:14.00\00:16:17.01
Well, we'll let
Lisa tell the story.
00:16:17.04\00:16:19.74
Okay.
00:16:19.77\00:16:21.11
I used to have a
mission school, a Bible,
00:16:21.14\00:16:25.81
English training
school down in the jungle.
00:16:25.85\00:16:30.49
But last year,
00:16:30.52\00:16:32.89
a lot and lot has
changed in Thailand.
00:16:32.92\00:16:35.49
And even though
we had permission
00:16:35.52\00:16:38.49
to be where we were,
and do what we were doing.
00:16:38.53\00:16:41.56
One day the military
00:16:41.60\00:16:43.90
and a lot of officials
came down to our school,
00:16:43.93\00:16:47.97
they let us know that
the laws are changing,
00:16:48.00\00:16:49.87
we're going to have leave.
00:16:49.90\00:16:53.17
It was no longer legal for us
00:16:53.21\00:16:54.74
to live out in the
jungle like we were.
00:16:54.78\00:16:57.11
So since I had to
leave, then the following week,
00:16:57.15\00:17:02.38
we were met by
another delegation
00:17:02.42\00:17:04.05
of soldiers with big guns.
00:17:04.09\00:17:08.96
They were really nice
also, but they told us
00:17:08.99\00:17:10.86
that we had on week to
move, that was on a Sunday.
00:17:10.89\00:17:14.73
And so, of
course for us that meant
00:17:14.76\00:17:16.20
that we had actually five days,
00:17:16.23\00:17:17.50
'cause it would have
to be done before Sabbath.
00:17:17.53\00:17:20.27
And we had three
buildings and two bathrooms,
00:17:20.30\00:17:24.97
hydro electric
system and a solar system.
00:17:25.01\00:17:28.41
And we had to move
all of it in five days.
00:17:28.44\00:17:34.72
And it was just
actually nine of us,
00:17:34.75\00:17:37.05
but five were little kids.
00:17:37.09\00:17:39.42
So we started
tearing into the place,
00:17:39.45\00:17:41.16
and we worked
like I didn't think
00:17:41.19\00:17:45.73
it was possible to make it.
00:17:45.76\00:17:48.26
And we prayed,
00:17:48.30\00:17:49.53
and by the end of the first day,
00:17:49.56\00:17:53.90
we realized that
this was impossible.
00:17:53.94\00:17:57.41
Absolutely
impossible, so we're praying,
00:17:57.44\00:17:59.94
we're just saying,
"Lord, you know our needs,
00:18:00.04\00:18:02.71
you know, we can't do this."
00:18:02.74\00:18:03.95
We're tearing
apart mangled hall,
00:18:03.98\00:18:05.45
trying to get it taken
down when we heard a noise,
00:18:05.48\00:18:09.92
and looked outside,
00:18:09.95\00:18:11.05
and there were 18
brown skinned angels
00:18:11.09\00:18:15.56
coming down the path, and
by some sort of a miracle,
00:18:15.59\00:18:19.33
even though there was
no communication out there,
00:18:19.36\00:18:21.93
some of our
students had found out
00:18:21.96\00:18:24.47
that we had to move
in that amount of time.
00:18:24.50\00:18:27.24
And they came, and
they brought people
00:18:27.27\00:18:29.44
that we never even met before.
00:18:29.47\00:18:31.57
And by Friday morning,
00:18:31.61\00:18:34.64
we were taking
the last load down
00:18:34.68\00:18:36.41
when the military showed up.
00:18:36.44\00:18:38.98
And they just stood
there with their mouths open.
00:18:39.01\00:18:41.18
They did not think
it was possible either.
00:18:41.22\00:18:44.05
But God is good,
00:18:44.09\00:18:45.12
and He sent us the
help we needed right
00:18:45.15\00:18:46.72
when we needed it.
00:18:46.76\00:18:47.92
So we knew for sure
that God was moving us,
00:18:47.96\00:18:51.93
you know, it's not a fun thing,
00:18:51.96\00:18:53.43
and it was really disappointing.
00:18:53.46\00:18:55.30
And yet, God
worked it out for in ways
00:18:55.33\00:18:59.87
that I couldn't even imagine.
00:18:59.90\00:19:02.27
For instance,
five of our students
00:19:02.30\00:19:04.41
chose to go down
to Travis' school
00:19:04.44\00:19:06.68
and become teachers.
00:19:06.71\00:19:08.31
And it worked out
really, really good
00:19:08.34\00:19:09.94
because he needed teachers
00:19:09.98\00:19:11.48
who were really grounded
in the Bible, and our beliefs,
00:19:11.51\00:19:14.98
and our standards.
00:19:15.02\00:19:17.05
And it's really hard
to find that out here.
00:19:17.09\00:19:19.85
But those students had
been really well trained
00:19:19.89\00:19:23.19
after being there for a year
00:19:23.22\00:19:24.63
and so, Travis was able
to keep his school going,
00:19:24.66\00:19:27.96
because we lost our students.
00:19:27.96\00:19:30.43
So that was, it turned
out to be a huge blessing.
00:19:30.47\00:19:33.40
So God had a
plan. God had a plan.
00:19:33.44\00:19:35.04
Even though they were
disappointed, God had a plan.
00:19:35.07\00:19:37.34
It has been very tiring
00:19:37.37\00:19:38.41
and hard work for
them to relocate again.
00:19:38.44\00:19:41.48
But this time
they've purchased property.
00:19:41.51\00:19:44.28
Okay. Yeah.
00:19:44.31\00:19:45.61
And they're actually building
on property that they own.
00:19:45.65\00:19:49.48
And now they're building, a
real cement and brick house.
00:19:49.52\00:19:56.09
So now why are
they having to do that?
00:19:56.12\00:19:57.89
With a four young girls
00:19:57.93\00:19:59.13
that they are
working on adopting,
00:19:59.16\00:20:00.40
they're taking care
of us their own children.
00:20:00.43\00:20:03.93
In order for adoption
for them to become legal,
00:20:03.97\00:20:07.50
they have to
have postal address.
00:20:07.54\00:20:09.54
They have to live in a
place with the postal address.
00:20:09.57\00:20:11.37
And the government
won't give a postal address
00:20:11.41\00:20:15.01
to a bamboo's building.
00:20:15.04\00:20:16.75
Bamboo building.
00:20:16.78\00:20:17.81
So they have to build in cement,
00:20:17.85\00:20:20.58
and so of
course, the Sharon way.
00:20:20.62\00:20:23.42
That's a lot of work.
00:20:23.45\00:20:24.59
That's a lot of work,
and they do it themselves.
00:20:24.62\00:20:26.69
And the local
people have said that,
00:20:26.72\00:20:29.46
you can go and get sand,
00:20:29.49\00:20:30.99
and gravel, and
rocks from the riverbed.
00:20:31.03\00:20:34.76
And so they go down
there, praise the Lord,
00:20:34.83\00:20:37.90
they now own a pickup truck.
00:20:37.93\00:20:39.50
Yes, they had to buy a
pickup truck to haul all their,
00:20:39.53\00:20:43.24
all of their
supplies for building.
00:20:43.27\00:20:44.74
Yeah, 'cause the river
is probably an hour away.
00:20:44.77\00:20:47.24
And so they drive
down and they shovel the...
00:20:47.28\00:20:49.51
And... They shovel the sand.
00:20:49.54\00:20:51.31
The rice bags
into with the sand.
00:20:51.35\00:20:53.55
And they shift it, and
then they get the rocks
00:20:53.58\00:20:56.22
and the gravel, everything,
they haul it back up.
00:20:56.25\00:20:58.35
So all they have to
do is buy the concrete
00:20:58.39\00:21:00.49
and then they mix it by hand.
00:21:00.52\00:21:01.76
We got some video
of what that looks like
00:21:01.79\00:21:04.79
in mixing in this new place.
00:21:04.83\00:21:06.43
First of all, we're going to do
00:21:06.46\00:21:07.50
a little flyover
of their property
00:21:07.56\00:21:09.10
so you can kind
of get a feel for...
00:21:09.13\00:21:11.27
Where things are located.
00:21:11.30\00:21:12.43
We visited there recently,
00:21:12.47\00:21:13.74
and one of the friends
that came with us had a drone.
00:21:13.77\00:21:17.37
So we got to fly and
that was a lot of fun.
00:21:17.41\00:21:19.54
Okay, so let's watch that. Yeah.
00:21:19.57\00:21:22.28
This property has
two, in the bottom
00:21:22.31\00:21:24.75
you can see two houses,
00:21:24.78\00:21:26.55
and now we're
looking at the blue house.
00:21:26.58\00:21:28.48
I actually got
to help a little bit
00:21:28.52\00:21:31.55
with my own two hands.
00:21:31.59\00:21:32.82
There is Leroy mixing up
some cement out in the front.
00:21:32.85\00:21:35.92
You've got one
of the young ladies
00:21:35.96\00:21:37.83
building the posts,
00:21:37.86\00:21:39.86
there's going to be
some posts out front.
00:21:39.89\00:21:41.63
And that roof is going
to extend all the way up.
00:21:41.66\00:21:43.63
This is their new truck,
00:21:43.67\00:21:45.40
and so this is what they shared.
00:21:45.43\00:21:46.77
And this is going to
become the school now.
00:21:46.80\00:21:50.01
Okay. Okay.
00:21:50.04\00:21:51.31
And then they're going to
live actually in this house.
00:21:51.34\00:21:53.64
And the cement's going
to come all the way out
00:21:53.68\00:21:56.08
past those posts.
00:21:56.11\00:21:57.51
And all that cement
was done, mixed by hand.
00:21:57.55\00:22:01.62
Those bags there on
the right hand side,
00:22:01.65\00:22:03.22
that's all cement.
00:22:03.25\00:22:04.35
Yep. I mean, that's all sand.
00:22:04.39\00:22:05.42
That's all sand from the river.
00:22:05.45\00:22:06.55
They just brought that
up while we were there.
00:22:06.59\00:22:08.46
And my son James went
down and help them load it in,
00:22:08.49\00:22:10.99
but all this is done by hand.
00:22:11.03\00:22:12.93
And unfortunately, Lisa
ends up doing a lot of it.
00:22:12.96\00:22:17.67
And she has a bad
back. Yeah, and then...
00:22:17.70\00:22:20.00
So they're working hard on that.
00:22:20.04\00:22:21.17
Yeah, and you
can see how the house
00:22:21.20\00:22:22.67
is built into
the side of a hill.
00:22:22.70\00:22:25.01
When they first
decided to build right there,
00:22:25.04\00:22:28.34
it was all covered with bushes,
so they couldn't really see,
00:22:28.38\00:22:30.41
and so Lisa
thought, we'll built here.
00:22:30.45\00:22:32.88
And then when they cleared
the bushes, they realized...
00:22:32.91\00:22:35.92
It was too steep to build there.
00:22:35.95\00:22:36.99
It's steep, so they had to dig.
00:22:37.02\00:22:38.52
So she and the girls
dug all that dirt out.
00:22:38.55\00:22:41.69
So all the dirt
that's in front...
00:22:41.72\00:22:43.86
That's the field dirt.
Used to be under the house.
00:22:43.89\00:22:47.10
Yeah.
00:22:47.13\00:22:48.13
It's just
incredible, you can see here,
00:22:48.16\00:22:49.86
sitting here building...
00:22:49.90\00:22:51.90
Leroy and I did a
lot of that wall there,
00:22:51.93\00:22:54.70
but she is coming back
00:22:54.74\00:22:55.84
and with the
brush and some water,
00:22:55.87\00:22:57.61
they're making it
all nice and clean.
00:22:57.64\00:23:00.28
So it looks really
good when they're done.
00:23:00.31\00:23:03.31
So you can see, this is
the way they build those posts,
00:23:03.35\00:23:05.58
they do it all by hand,
they have that little form
00:23:05.61\00:23:07.62
and the girls get
in and get involved,
00:23:07.65\00:23:09.92
get their hands cementy,
and this is how they do it.
00:23:09.95\00:23:15.19
Slow going, but
when they're done,
00:23:15.22\00:23:17.63
you know who else
is going to do it.
00:23:17.66\00:23:19.33
They don't have
the money to hire
00:23:19.36\00:23:21.30
a lot of people to this work,
00:23:21.33\00:23:22.73
and so they just get
in and do it themselves.
00:23:22.76\00:23:24.70
Well, we have a
little video clip of Lisa
00:23:24.73\00:23:26.74
talking about
some of their needs.
00:23:26.77\00:23:28.24
Yes.
00:23:28.27\00:23:29.60
I need people who can teach
in the Thai schools, I need...
00:23:29.64\00:23:34.51
Yeah, just simple English.
00:23:34.54\00:23:36.24
You don't have to have
any kind of education for it
00:23:36.28\00:23:38.58
as long as you
speak good English.
00:23:38.61\00:23:40.58
But just need
people who'll teach,
00:23:40.62\00:23:44.65
who'll care about the villagers
and want to be friendly,
00:23:44.69\00:23:47.46
go visit them, talk to them.
00:23:47.49\00:23:50.06
When we moved here,
they offered us this land
00:23:50.09\00:23:53.53
and it's a nice piece of land.
00:23:53.56\00:23:55.96
We took it, it has water and...
00:23:56.00\00:23:59.53
But we didn't know
that people had been
00:23:59.57\00:24:02.54
killed on this place
and so it was cursed.
00:24:02.57\00:24:05.51
And so anybody who
stayed here should have died.
00:24:05.54\00:24:09.18
And so simply living here
is the witness to the village
00:24:09.21\00:24:12.55
and you know, they...
00:24:12.58\00:24:14.68
everybody in every village
00:24:14.72\00:24:16.18
in this whole
area knows about it.
00:24:16.22\00:24:18.99
Here we are, we're still alive.
00:24:19.02\00:24:20.96
Sometimes just being
somewhere is a witness,
00:24:24.93\00:24:27.96
even though you don't
think of it as being a witness.
00:24:27.96\00:24:31.47
So what she meant like that
00:24:31.50\00:24:32.70
is that there's lot of
Thai schools around the area,
00:24:32.73\00:24:35.60
and there is a big push
in Thailand to learn English,
00:24:35.64\00:24:37.71
and so, if a person can go there
00:24:37.74\00:24:40.14
and just teach
conversational English,
00:24:40.18\00:24:42.08
doesn't take a degree
in educationary thing.
00:24:42.11\00:24:45.08
It's just "Can
you speak English?"
00:24:45.11\00:24:47.28
Go there and you can
help out these Thai schools
00:24:47.32\00:24:50.59
and be a huge
witness, make connections
00:24:50.62\00:24:52.45
and do friendship
evangelism, it's very powerful.
00:24:52.49\00:24:55.32
So that's what
she is talking about.
00:24:55.36\00:24:56.49
They had a lot of request
from surrounding villages
00:24:56.52\00:24:59.49
to go and teach there.
00:24:59.53\00:25:00.83
And there just
aren't enough of them.
00:25:00.86\00:25:02.56
Right, so
that's one of the needs
00:25:02.60\00:25:04.13
that she is talking about,
but there is other needs also.
00:25:04.17\00:25:06.77
And their biggest
need is for people to come
00:25:06.80\00:25:09.04
and stay long term.
00:25:09.07\00:25:10.94
Learn the
language, learn the culture,
00:25:10.97\00:25:12.44
really connect with the people,
and start doing this working.
00:25:12.47\00:25:15.34
They're in one
village, maybe influencing
00:25:15.38\00:25:17.81
five or ten
villages in the area,
00:25:17.85\00:25:19.45
but there are
thousands of villages
00:25:19.48\00:25:21.22
where there is no
Christian and no witness
00:25:21.25\00:25:23.69
and nothing is
being done for them.
00:25:23.72\00:25:26.65
Right, and they
all need to know,
00:25:26.69\00:25:28.46
because Matthew 24:14 says,
00:25:28.49\00:25:31.29
"And this gospel of the kingdom
00:25:31.33\00:25:32.49
shall be preached
in all the world."
00:25:32.53\00:25:35.00
Every nation,
kindred, tongue, and people.
00:25:35.03\00:25:36.53
Every nation,
kindred, tongue, and people.
00:25:36.56\00:25:37.93
Yeah, and in addition to
this, this is the Karen people,
00:25:37.97\00:25:42.40
and in that area,
the Karen are probably
00:25:42.44\00:25:45.07
the one of the most reached.
00:25:45.11\00:25:46.24
Right.
00:25:46.27\00:25:47.38
Then you've got 110,
109 other people groups
00:25:47.41\00:25:50.58
just in Thailand
alone, plus the other...
00:25:50.61\00:25:53.45
I mean, it's just...
00:25:53.48\00:25:54.55
The need is endless,
and so what can I do.
00:25:54.58\00:25:56.45
Well, I may not be
able to fix everything,
00:25:56.48\00:25:58.92
but for just a few like that,
00:25:58.95\00:26:01.36
boy with the
starfish on the beach,
00:26:01.39\00:26:05.43
and he is
throwing one, you know,
00:26:05.46\00:26:06.53
there's thousands of starfish,
00:26:06.56\00:26:07.76
he is throwing
one after another,
00:26:07.76\00:26:08.93
and his dad is like,
"You're not going to throw
00:26:08.96\00:26:10.03
all these starfish in.
00:26:10.07\00:26:11.37
You're not going to
make any difference."
00:26:11.40\00:26:12.63
And he's picked up,
but for this starfish
00:26:12.67\00:26:15.10
I'm going to make all
the difference in the world.
00:26:15.14\00:26:18.54
And so that's what
God is calling us to do.
00:26:18.57\00:26:20.41
They do have other
needs besides people.
00:26:20.44\00:26:22.61
Yes. They do need funding...
00:26:22.64\00:26:24.68
Because as soon
as that dorm opens,
00:26:24.71\00:26:26.28
they will have
students that they need to feed,
00:26:26.31\00:26:28.38
they need to provide
school materials for.
00:26:28.42\00:26:31.59
And then they do have, you know,
00:26:31.62\00:26:33.29
the building to finish,
and it does cost a little bit.
00:26:33.32\00:26:35.82
All the welding and the
roof cost them some money.
00:26:35.86\00:26:38.49
Materials...
00:26:38.53\00:26:40.46
And anyway they do
have other needs as well.
00:26:40.50\00:26:43.23
And if they have
to do a visa run,
00:26:43.26\00:26:45.77
then it costs them money,
00:26:45.80\00:26:47.77
sometimes they have
to come back to America
00:26:47.80\00:26:49.34
for visa renewals and
things so, they do need funding.
00:26:49.37\00:26:52.67
Yes. And they need prayer.
00:26:52.71\00:26:54.28
Yes, lots of prayer.
00:26:54.31\00:26:55.34
Because they
wouldn't be where they are,
00:26:55.38\00:26:56.98
if it hadn't been for
prayer, lots and lots of prayer.
00:26:57.01\00:26:59.28
Guidance of the Holy Spirit
and the Lord opening the way.
00:26:59.31\00:27:02.48
And when prayer
happens back home
00:27:02.52\00:27:04.52
for the people
on the frontlines,
00:27:04.55\00:27:06.12
it builds a wall of protection,
00:27:06.15\00:27:07.92
spiritual
protection around them,
00:27:07.96\00:27:09.79
allows them to work.
00:27:09.82\00:27:11.43
In countries like this,
that's really important...
00:27:11.46\00:27:14.40
Right.
00:27:14.46\00:27:15.53
Is the prayer,
but the way it works
00:27:15.56\00:27:17.30
is that Jesus for Asia
provides financial services
00:27:17.33\00:27:19.87
for the Sharon's
and other projects
00:27:19.90\00:27:21.67
similar to theirs.
00:27:21.70\00:27:22.94
So when someone
donates money to them,
00:27:22.97\00:27:25.41
they do it
through Jesus for Asia.
00:27:25.44\00:27:27.18
So when somebody
donates money for the Sharon's,
00:27:27.21\00:27:30.81
all of it goes,
we send all of it.
00:27:30.85\00:27:32.65
We don't keep a
certain percentage
00:27:32.68\00:27:34.45
for administrative overhead.
00:27:34.48\00:27:36.22
We trust God, we
camp out on Matthew 6:33
00:27:36.25\00:27:38.95
for that need.
00:27:38.99\00:27:40.82
And God has provided all along.
00:27:40.86\00:27:42.96
And so, if you send $100
00:27:42.99\00:27:45.09
to the Sharon's
through Jesus For Asia,
00:27:45.13\00:27:46.90
we send $100 to the Sharon's,
00:27:46.93\00:27:49.10
and they can use it on
their frontline projects.
00:27:49.13\00:27:50.93
And we've done that
from the very beginning.
00:27:50.97\00:27:52.97
Right.
00:27:53.00\00:27:54.44
I want to invite you
to prayerfully consider
00:27:54.47\00:27:56.64
how the Lord may be calling
you to help forward the work
00:27:56.67\00:27:59.34
of the Sharon family
among these precious people.
00:27:59.37\00:28:02.68

tax deductible love gift
00:28:02.71\00:28:04.71
