Thank you sooo much for many of you who prayed…
And for all your concern for Joshua’s ear.

The last visit to the doctor was somewhat inconclusive..
Basically, he’s not ready to do the surgery as yet. So he said to wait and observe (while continuing on the nasal spray medication) for another month. Then to do another hearing test next month.

And if things don’t seem to improve then he may need to go ahead with the surgery. =(

You can pray that his ears will ‘unclog’ often, and that it doesn’t get infected easily.

We’re 1 1/2 weeks into the Ultimate Road Trip. It’s been nothing but exciting.. in every sense of the word. In the midst of challenges and busyness, I’m glad to have the opportunity to connect with some of the students.

Each of them has been expressing how God has already been working in their lives, bringing about change etc.

And I personally have been experiencing Him too. Someone once said, “The branch that feels the pruning knife is the branch that is growing.” So in this sense, I’m thankful… Though the process can be painful, and often uncomfortable.

His grace is sufficient for me; for His strength is made perfect in my weakness.

Yep! after months and months of prayer and preparations, our 6 Thais friends are finally here! The 6 of them make up Koinonia, the music ministry of Thailand Campus Crusade for Christ. And it’s a marvelous privilege for us in ForeRunner to be able to help equip & train them as a ministry.

“God is sooo good!” That was the repeated phrase of tonight, as we gather for simple welcome party for them. Just a day before they flew over, a supporter called them over to her house.. and offered a ‘small’ gift to them. She said she felt God had led her to give, and she needed to obey. She handed over 150,000 Baht (abt S$6k) That literally covered about a third of what the team needed to raise to come here.

Over on our end, God provided a house.. yes, a house.. and very large one! for only $1000 for their whole time here! It’s amazing. On top of that, many people gave generously both in kind and in cash to help the Thais settle down here. God is sooo good!

I’m requesting prayer for Joshua… His eardrums are kinda ‘sucked-in’ and there’s mucous. It’s been some months now… if it does not improve, the ENT specialist says that he might need to go for surgery to ‘clear’ the ears.

Thanksgiving: today, we went for another review.. and the doctor said to continue with the current medication (a nose spray to clear ‘blockage’), and to continually get Josh to ‘pop’ his ears. And then go for another hearing test in a month. So no surgery for now.

Please pray the the ears will heal up well by themselves without having to do any surgery! Thanks!
