Streams of mercy.

There are a few highlights that stand out from this past month! One is that God has provided a sweet friend from church to meet with weekly and study the Word with over coffee. It has been such a great way to invest in deepening relationships within the body, to push myself in Thai Bible and prayer language, and to be refreshed by the Word. I see God's kindness in providing a friendship with P'Thuk in this season.

A snapshot from our employee meal this month! Eating หมูกระทะ (pork hot pot) is a favorite here. We are so thankful for these employees and the ways they have invested in our business and shared life with us over the past few months.

A huge highlight from this past month was two young girls being baptized at our church! It has been amazing to see God working in the lives of individuals in our community, and we are in awe of how He is building His body here. Formal membership was set in place this past Sunday, and official leaders will be elected in the coming weeks. We are so thankful to be a part of what God is doing through Good News Church (คริสตจักรข่าวประเสริฐ).

PRAISES & PRAYERS REQUESTS:

- pray for wisdom and guidance from the Lord regarding Sauced & Tossed. We are in the process of communicating with our Thai lawyer regarding our business visa, and it looks like we may need to readjust some things. It has caused some stress for us so pray we can continue to trust in the Lord.

-pray for wisdom in raising Nova Gail. She is entering the toddler stage, which is so much fun, but also has its challenges. Please pray for wisdom to shepherd her heart well.

- pray for Uey. She is one of the girls who was baptized this month, and comes from a Buddhist family. Her decision to follow Christ has been met with opposition from her family, so pray for God's grace and peace in her life as she navigates those challenges.

- praise the Lord for the work He is doing in our church body!
