Dear Partners in Ministry,

Much seems to have happened in the last month and for the long school break we seem to have been extra busy.

Botulism. Praise God that all but one of the 209 cases of botulism poisoning have returned home, and are recovering well.On Christ's behalf we we're able to visit many of the folk as they returned home giving them small practical gifts and this weekend will give small scholarships to kids from severely affected families as they start another school year.Thank you so much for your concern and prayers.Please pray that recovery will be complete and that folk will soon be able to return to full strength and work.

New Volunteer.We have been joined by another Jan who has been helping with English events over the last two weeks and will work in a couple of schools over the next month.Pray for her that she is encouraged and blessed as she is encouraging and a blessing here.

New Look Organization.TBMF our umbrella organization has been revamped and we were both part of the process.We are grateful that the meetings were done in good spirit and that our travel was event less.

Holiday English. We did a number of specials with students over the holiday period finishing up with some 3 half day events.We issued the kids with "passports" and "took" them to Australia and the United States.They all enjoyed being stewards on the plane, but I think they got a glimpse of the boredom of the long flight as each child got asked at least 7 times "Would you like chicken or pork?"

Fellowship in Ban Sra. We continue to go over the hill to meet with co-workers Muana and Villy to teach and disciple the new believers there.We have had great discussions with them about God being with us at all times and all places, His power over the demon world and His power to heal.We have been trying to produce lessons that will help them understand and grow in Christ - please pray for wisdom for us.

Easter and Baptisms at Paya Meng Rai.We joined with our old friends for Easter and celebrated the Resurrection with them at a dawn service which was followed by Baptisms – Always an exciting time!

Future events – please pray

• School starts back this week (May)
• Visa renewal in Bangkok
• Anna Cheng (New Team Member) arrives 25th Jan hopes to meet her and work in the visa thing at the same time.Anna will study in Bangkok.
• Please pray that people here in Ban Luang will have hearts open to receive the gospel

Thank you for your continued partnership,

In Christ's love

Jan and Larry
