For some of you, this is my second web log (or BLOG). My first blog, Lifesong Notes, is mostly a time to share things that God is teaching me or fun stuff I run across. This blog, hoever, has a specific purpose in mind, that is, I want to keep those who are commiting to pray for and support me on my mission trip to Thailand. This trip will take place in January 4-17, 2009. I will be joining a team of 8-10 folks from our church in North Texas to reach out to a specific group of people in northern Thailand with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Along the way, I will introduce you to folks traveling with me and share some of the things we are praying for with an invitation to you to join with us in preparing for this journey to see God do amazing things in the lives of these people. I will try to give you tidbits of info about these people and what the culture is like as I learn it. And of course when the trip comes I will try to post a journal of our activities.Right now here are my prayer requests:
- Pray for the Isaan people that their hearts will be ready for seeds to be sown and harvested.
- Pray that God will provide each member of the team the thousands of dollars it will take for us to reach this land.
- Pray that God will bind our team's hearts together with a burden for these people.
Thank you so much for coming along on my journey. I will try to post at least once a month, probably more. We covet your prayers!

Tony,
Great Beginning for this Great Commission work. On and I began this journey right before the Tsunami with the help of IMB missionary Mark Caldwell (Dec 26, 2004).
On's sister and two high school students believed. We prayed for more. The second trip two years later with Indian Creek saw 37 known believers-Christ just knocked our socks off. The third mission this January saw nearly 200 profess Jesus Christ, but oh, how they need discipleship thru local leaders.
We are excited to see your passion and exciteement for this unreached people group with about 2/10 of one percent who believe.
We will be praying. How exciting to see what God will do.

Wow! I had no idea you were doing this! How exciting! You all are in my prayers!
