Thanks for the prayers for our meeting last Sunday. It went really well and we loved sharing our story with a group of older believers. There was about 25 people at the service and we were able to have a candid conversation with the group. They asked a lot of good questions and were so curious about what we want to do and why Thailand. It was such an honor to be invited to speak and we loved it! Brad is actually meeting with one of the gentlemen that we met on Thursday. We served brewed Lanna coffee and they enjoyed looking at all our village artifacts...especially the gun!
I also wanted to let you know that we got a call today from a large and very well known church in San Diego. Brad's parents attend the church and we have been to many services over the last 7 years and know a lot of the people in the congregation. We have been invited down next Thursday at 6:30pm to meet with the mission's committee. After our meeting we will know whether the church is going to take us on as missionaries and support us financial. The head of the mission's board at one time was actually a board member of Crossworld which we did not know. I love seeing how God has tied together our process and how he has continued to provide and bless us through this time. God is so good.
One last little plug... One of the projects that ITDP does is a coffee project. Coffee beans are grown by villagers and then sold directly to various companies such as Starbucks! The same beans that Starbucks buys are also roasted and sold by Lanna Cafe. Lanna cafe partners with ITDP and they have cafes in Thailand and they sell whole bean coffee in the states.
