Deployment

Finally, October 12th will be the day of Commissioning.  Then the sending, “I am sending you out like sheep among wolves”.  (Mathew 10:16) We are looking forward to October 16th, the Day.  We will leave home for Los Angeles where we have four hours in the Airport (LAX) before we get on Thai Airways for Bangkok.  We would hopefully have a Dinner with Daniel our older Son.  From there we will really going to the Unknown.  We have been to Thailand and live in Thailand for some times, but this is really going to the Unknown, because we have no home, no address no telephone number (yet) and going to a place we have not been before with the people we have not met before (well we met one).
When God called Abraham, He said, “Leave your Country, your people and your father’s household and go to the land I will show you” (Genesis 12: 1).  In our case we leave our country, mother, sisters, brothers and our sons.  None of our sons have a (household) yet, but we will leave them where ever they are at this point, Daniel in California, Jonathan Serving oversea,  Joseph School in Minnesota and Benjamin at Home in Charlotte. In Genesis 12 it seems like it is very easy for Abraham to packed up and go, I thought it should be easy to do the same, but when the time is approaching you have different thoughts and different feelings.  Ticket has been secured, bags has been partially packed, there is no turning Back!
That is why we need you, at this time.  Your prayers will help to bind (connect) our faith with the Lord who is our GPS to guide us to Chonburi,  Thailand.  Would you help us on this? We are sure an address has been entered into our GPS and a route has been formed, we just need to follow, so pray for our strength and faith in God as well.
