The Road Ahead
Every so often there are moments in life when you sense that what you have been been praying for finally starts coming to pass. And I believe that we are coming into one of those seasons in our personal lives and also in the work of Firstlight International. Looking out over the next several months I see tons happening for the kingdom in the places where we serve.
Families Without Fathers (FWF): As a new Thai school term beings this month we have the potential of reaching 100 kids from fatherless homes in seven locations across Thailand. The need to reach the widow and the orphan in Thailand is great. Already our Firstlight Area Teams and Area Churches are bringing the gospel to them on a regular basis. The registration of two new branch offices for the Foundation in Thailand, will help to make it possible to reach more kids. Adding additional staff to help care for these kids and to assist on the admin side will be another step towards reaching our goal. FWF is in a good place for growth in 2015 and beyond.
Firstlight Fellowship Church Network, Thailand (FLFCHN): We are blessed to have Pastor Nott join the team with 5 churches in the province of Nan, in the north of Thailand. The FLFCHN has grown to 11 churches in the north, and northeast of Thailand. We will move towards the formation of a FLFCHN – School of Leaders to train local Thai church leaders in the network. A major step forward in the road ahead.
Myanmar: We will be back in Myanmar in July to teach and to train students in the Emmanuel Theological Seminary. So blessed to have this opportunity to pour into the next generation of leaders in Asia! Join us as we travel on the road ahead!
