Over decades of ministry in places like Thailand and beyond, the Lord has linked us with us some incredible people who are doing amazing things for God.

Pastor Kumphon to the right pastors the City Gate Church, in Chiang Mai. Debbie and I first meet he and his wife during the earlier stages of our relocation to Thailand as missionaries in 1999. Because the nature of our work took us in a different part of the country, we hadn’t seen each other for years! We meet up again last year in Chon Buri, doing a conference that John Paul Sprecher and I did with the Z-Gen Church, with Pastor Daniel and his wife Ooy. Meeting up with Pastor Kumphon was an encouraging moment in both of our lives. He has grown into a nationally known leader among several networks of churches across the country and the Lord is using him in a mighty way.

It is an honor to stand with him and many others as ‘equippers and trainers’ of the next generation!
