1st half – During the first half of this year, we have seen the Lord’s power and provision for accomplishing great things for the kingdom. Our Firstlight Area Teams and Area Churches have put in motion the agreed upon ministry platforms for 2013. Souls are being saved – 15 water baptisms so far this year. One new cell / house church is starting up in Khong Pho, Thailand with a group of 20 who are meeting there. The numbers are in for the FWF project with 86 children in six locations. Our Firstlight Annual Event this year resulted in five of our Network churches represented and two Partnership churches. We have also have confirmed plans to launch two micro businesses this year as well. We have also completed one training opportunity in China.

2nd half – June promises going back into Laos with Tony Foster and the E5 Project. In July, we will be three weeks in India. August & November will bring together another group for the E5 Project business training for Thailand. September back to China and possibly Cambodia, Laos and Burma. There are at least two medical teams being planned for the Fall. In October, we will hold our FWF Family Camp, as well.  Pray!
