Building another up for the mission and for daily life without the promise of recognition.

The fruit of another's labour and outpouring of love feeds the next generation to do the same. Absolute humility. I love New Family Foundation, Suradet and Yupa, the kids. They are so in tune with the things of the Spirit and they reflect Jesus so well.

My time there was enlightening and convicting for both learning about God's character but also in areas in my soul that He is exposing to change for the betterment for His kingdom.

An added element to Sheldon's visit last summer was helping to fulfill his Mother's wishes that some of her remains be brought to Thailand.
Jen Connor was part of the original team that took that first trip to Southeast Asia, where our adventure began in the winter of 2008. Her subsequent visit about 18 months later, and her tireless work as our Sponsors' Liaison, bonded her heart to our family at Hot Springs in ways she found hard to describe.
Having Sheldon come to visit meant the world to Suradet and Yupa and the children there who remembered our beloved "Miss Jen." Our time at the top of the hill, to celebrate her life and respectfully distribute her ashes at the foot of that simple corss, was deeply moving for all of us. I had the humble honour of holding the container while each child came to scoop a little out with their hands and spread Jen's love over the rocks. So gentle. So respectful.
Jen you are deeply missed, but your love and legacy lives on.
