Dear Firstlight Family: It was our supreme honor to partner with you in Thailand, this past Fall to reach the daughters and sons of Thailand!

Our whole family (including my wife Paula who is with child, and our four children) traveled to the Northeast Thailand cities of Nong Khai, Nong Bua Lam Bu, and Suwwankhunha to reach Thai teens and families hungry for hope in Jesus. Our family has lived in Thailand for a total of 3 ½ years of our marriage. Our hearts burn to see Thai people, who are held captive by thousands of years of demonic strongholds and traditions, set free to have a relationship with their true and living Father God.

On this trip we were able to reach over 1,200 youth face to face with the Gospel! Hundreds of these precious kids received Jesus Christ during this trip and began a new life in a relationship with God!

Many of these teens had never heard the story of who Jesus was. Many had no idea of their worth and value in God’s sight. These “Young Lions” meetings as we called them, changed all that! Reveling Jesus opened their eyes to God’s love for them and the purpose for their lives. We were also able to give 700+ “Young Lions Arise” books to help encourage and inspire these young lives to radically love and follow Jesus for a lifetime. Many inner and outer healings and deliverances took place in the teens, and also in the hearts of fathers, mothers and leaders who God is raising up. God is raising up this generation in order to raise up a new generation of Thai children who whole-heartedly belong to Father God. It truly is amazing to watch God’s plan and strategy for this nation unfold!

Thank you Dan, Debbie and Firstlight for the opportunity to serve with you. We are ready to join hands again for even MORE!
