Three years in Thailand.

This month, we celebrated 3 years of life in Thailand! It is such a privilege to do life here in Thailand, and we thank the Lord for leading us so kindly throughout these past 3 years in big and little ways. He has brought clarity to so many of the unanswered questions we had when we moved here, and done abundantly more than we could ask or think in so many ways.

We got some Thai tea to celebrate, which Nova helped herself to just before this picture. ;) 

Our friend, Jaelah, came to spend some time with us this month as well! It was so fun to have her here with us, and to reconnect as we did life together for a few days. It's always a blessing to have old friends and family on this side of the globe. 🤍

Nova and her little friend, Bean Bean. This family has been so fun to get to know, as they have a son just a month younger than Nova and live super close to us! They have been very open to friendship and it has just been super fun to get to know some people in a similar stage of life.

This picture was taken during an employee meal this month! We really love our team and are so thankful for the people God has provided to help with Sauced & Tossed. 

This has been an encouraging month for the business! We seem to be picking up more traction, and slowly building a loyal customer base. And a huge praise is that O, a young boy working at the market who Ryan and our employees have gotten to know, professed Christ as his Lord and Savior this month! It has been encouraging to see his response to the gospel and to see God grant him a soft heart to the Truth. He is 16 years old, and it is not easy to be in the minority as a Christian in Thailand, so please join us in praying for him to continue growing in love for Christ and knowledge of God!

Towards the end of the month, it was such a treat to have Eric and Erika visit from our church in GA! It was sweet to have time together in person, and to enjoy Thailand together for a few days. The picture above was taken by our church sign.

PRAISES & PRAYER REQUESTS:

- praise the Lord for O and his open heart to the gospel! Please join us in praying for the Spirit's continued work in his heart and for wisdom to know how to encourage him in his new relationship with Christ.

- praise the Lord for an upbeat month for Sauced & Tossed! 

- pray for continued guidance and wisdom in managing Sauced & Tossed, and for fruitful gospel conversations in the marketplace.
