Tick... Tick... Ticking Away

Is it just us, or has everyone experienced the rapid passage of time since August 10th of this year? We have been down in the city for a week now, working on some local projects and meeting with Akha leaders (I mean really, really big-time Akha leaders) here in town.

Oh yeah, and our truck broke down.
You can get the video on John's blog. It's the one labeled "More Videos Week 2"
I guess that's what you get when you use a vehicle as heavily as we do.
The silver lining is that we actually needed to be "stuck in town" for a little bit. We have a lot of work to do as we prepare for some really big changes in our ministry and lives next year.
Beginning next year, we are looking to expand the scope and impact of our ministry in the Mae Salong area and, most exciting, we will be partnering with a dynamic young Akha family.

Consider that a teaser with more to come. But the minutes are ticking away, so now I've got to get back to work...

Welcome John B!

That's right, the founder and creative genius behind the internationally renowned Flying Hippo Project has graced us with his presence for the entire month of November.

We've had a great time with him in his first week with us - spending time in Chiang Rai, Mae Salong and Chiang Mai - and he's been documenting the whole trip on his hand held camcorder.

So, if you are looking for a fresh, new-generation interpretation of our lives here in Thailand - go take a look at the videos John has posted at the Flying Hippo Project.

*** for those of you who are quickly overwhelmed by MySpace pages - the videos are down and to the left***

Site Update :: Partners Page

Well, it's been nearly a year since we began officially running all our support funds through the FMI (inter)national office in Los Angeles, but I am just now getting around to updating our site to reflect that change.

So, for all of our partners (and those who are considering partnering with us in the future) the new information and the Partner Coupons are now up on our partners page.

We will continue to communicate with all of you through email as well, and ask that you feel free to contact us if you have any questions regarding this information.

Thank you all for your partnership and for your patience with me in getting this site up-to-date.

Family Portrait

Some recent conversations with bloggers for the NextGen Summit and writers from Advance Magazine, each part of our Foursquare family in America, have prompted us to take a new family portrait.

Being the "digital age" missionaries that we are, we thought we would share that photo with all of you:
