When Far Away is Close to Home

 

"The One Suitcase that Made It"

"Only a Boy Named David"

"A Leisurely Stroll Down the Goat Path"

"Jenga Jamboree"

"Insert Your Name Here"

Plus more...

We are so looking forward to telling these stories this coming Sunday at Highview Community Church.

The Team that went to visit our Thai family last November has gathered the best of what we experienced and observed as God's very real presence and interactions with all of us while we were there.  

We have pictures to show and a video to share.  You can even buy some Thai coffee after the service to help support New Family Foundation's Property Development Project.

This will be the first in a three-week series that features the wonderful partnerships God has given us as a congregation, moving us up and out of our own cultural comfort zones to see His hand at work in places far away on the globe, but very close to our hearts.

If you are at all within driving distance, we'd love to see you there.

"Winter Festivities"

Can we really ever call it "winter" in Thailand?  I suppose if it's Christmas, then New Year's, and the nights are a little cooler, it counts.  

As I described in the last blog ("Christmas Lights" December 21) celebrating Christmas looks and feels different for our kids at New Family Foundation.  So I thought I'd just share some of the photos that I've received.  

Hope they warm your cold Canadian winter day :).

Thailand's National Children's Day - January 12, 2024

Wanmai and Beemai on a 'ride' at a Children's Day party in Sahakorn.

Pakin and Goon in their fun car.

Suradet and Yupa are invited to hand out the snacks at the Sahakorn Party.

Lots going on these past months since our Team visited.

It sure feels like a long time since we were there.  Maybe it's just that I'm missing the warm weather and sunshine.  But of course, I'm missing way more than that.

Heads up.  

If you're in town or nearby, 

the November Team will be sharing our stories 

at the service at Highview on Sunday, January 28th.  

We'd love to have you join us.
