00:21 - Hello and welcome to Jesus for Asia Now. 00:24 I'm Natalie Wood, and today I have 00:25 Travis and Becky Sharon with me, 00:27 and they work in the jungles of Thailand. 00:30 Welcome to the show. 00:31 We're so glad to have you here with us today. 00:33 - It's a pleasure to be here. 00:34 - All right, well, we want to start off 00:36 talking about maybe how you got to where you've been working 00:39 and what you see God maybe doing in the future. 00:43 So how did you get to Thailand? 00:46 I know both of you are born and raised in America, right? 00:49 - Yes. 00:50 - Okay, so how did you end up in Thailand? 00:52 We'll start with Travis. 00:53 - I ended up there because my brother, 00:59 my oldest brother, went over. 01:01 And then about two and a half years later, 01:05 me and my parents, we went over to Thailand 01:10 to help along the border with the Karen people. 01:13 - Okay, so it was a short-term thing though. 01:15 - Yeah, we went over for three months, so yeah. 01:19 - You weren't gonna stay. 01:20 - No, I didn't want to stay, 01:22 but after the first three months, 01:25 decided to stay long-term, so. 01:27 - Because you saw that it was such a picnic 01:30 and it was a party all the time and? 01:32 - No, not exactly. 01:34 - Because you saw the need? 01:36 - Because we saw the need, yeah. 01:37 - All right, Becky, how did you end up in Thailand? 01:42 - My side of the story is kind of interesting. 01:50 It started out with meeting his mom, 01:51 who came to Orfino, and she made an appeal for missionaries. 01:55 So after church, went over to a friend's house, 02:01 and she happened to be there, 02:04 and we were all having a meal together. 02:05 And we talked with her a lot, 02:08 and by the end of the day, my mom's like, 02:10 "Okay, I'm gonna send Becky over to your mission." 02:13 And I'm like, "Mom, mom!" 02:17 (both laugh) 02:18 - "What are you thinking?" 02:20 - But after some discussion with my grandma, 02:23 my grandma was like, "You're not gonna send her alone." 02:26 So we all went together. 02:27 But as people have probably heard, 02:34 my mom decided in less than a month 02:36 that they were going to leave, 02:38 and we were actually all gonna leave. 02:41 We were gonna do things as a family. 02:44 But there was something really bothering me 02:47 about the whole thing. 02:50 We had committed to go for a year as missionaries, 02:55 and we were planning on staying there 02:59 for the rest of our lives. 03:01 We had a year visa, and I was thinking, 03:04 "Well, people have donated money to this, 03:07 "and it seems like God has led us here. 03:10 "How can we just leave?" 03:13 So I was thinking and praying about it, 03:16 and one day we were hanging laundry outside, 03:21 and the thought occurred to me that I could 03:23 just ask her if I could stay for the rest of the year. 03:26 But the next thought was, 03:27 "She would not allow that, of course not. 03:29 "I'm only 15." 03:31 But somehow I found myself asking her anyway. 03:38 So after I asked her, she started crying, 03:42 and I thought to myself, "She didn't just tell me no." 03:45 (both laugh) 03:47 But she went up to his mom's, talked to her about it, 03:52 and they agreed that I would stay, 03:53 and that's basically how it all started. 03:55 - Wow, so that was a number of years ago 03:58 because you're not 15 now. 04:00 (all laugh) 04:01 And you all just got married. 04:02 - Yes. - Yeah. 04:04 - So a beautiful ceremony. 04:05 Maybe we can insert a wedding picture 04:07 (Travis and Becky laugh) 04:08 that people can see, out there by the lake at Laurel Brook. 04:12 So you've been there a little longer than Becky. 04:17 - Yeah, I've been there about 04:19 nine and a half years, almost 10. 04:21 Yeah, it'll be 10 in November, so. 04:23 - Okay, so after your initial short-term visit there, 04:27 when you realized that you needed to stay, 04:29 the Lord started leading you to open a school 04:32 in a very remote area, right? 04:35 - Yeah, it's when my parents were, 04:38 where we first started working over there was in Santiburi. 04:45 And so it was a village near there 04:48 that I was interested in helping with, 04:53 and so we started a project there. 04:54 - Okay, and it wasn't an easy project in many ways, right? 05:00 - No, not really. 05:01 (both laugh) 05:02 - Because it was a school, right? 05:03 I mean, you had to build buildings. 05:05 And you had a long road in and a long road out, 05:09 and with rainy season, we have some pictures of the road. 05:13 So I don't know if you want to 05:14 walk us through what we're seeing. 05:16 Here's a picture of a truck sideways in the road. 05:20 - Yeah, this is just a typical trip into town, basically. 05:24 Kind of a little bit famous 05:27 for its off roading in the area (laughs). 05:28 And everybody takes their big trucks up there 05:31 just to have fun and test them out. 05:34 And every year, there's lots of people 05:37 that roll their trucks down the hills and whatever, so. 05:40 - Very hard on vehicles, that road (laughs). 05:43 - Yeah, so you are going to town 05:45 and you find situations like this, 05:47 where somebody's in the middle of the road, 05:49 and then you offer to help them? 05:51 - [Travis] Yeah, in fact, the last time we came out, 05:55 we got ourselves stuck six times. 05:58 (both laugh) 05:58 - So was that rainy season? 06:00 - It was just the beginning of rainy season. 06:02 - [Natalie] Of rainy season. 06:05 - Because once rainy season settles in, 06:08 nobody can get in and out unless you walk. 06:11 - Okay, so there's a lot of hiking. 06:13 - There's a lot of hiking involved, yeah. 06:15 - [Natalie] Where you've been working. 06:16 - [Travis] This is basically just, I think it was just 06:20 going into town that day, yeah. 06:23 - [Natalie] Getting (speech obscured by crosstalk) 06:23 into town, okay. 06:25 - I was just putting some diesel in the truck 06:26 so that we could get going. 06:27 - Okay, when you go to town from that area, 06:29 do you get a lot of people saying, "Can I go too? 06:30 "Can I catch a ride?" 06:32 - Yeah, a lot, because not many people go. 06:35 - It's a long way. 06:37 - It's a long ways, and it's a hard road, 06:40 and the cost on the vehicles, there's a lot of maintenance, 06:45 as you can probably imagine. 06:47 So anybody and everybody wants to just catch a ride. 06:53 So I usually have a full load on the way out, 06:55 (audio cuts out) load on the way in. 06:58 (both laugh) 06:59 - Yeah, both of supplies and of people. 07:00 - If it wasn't full on the way out, 07:01 it will be full on the way in (laughs). 07:03 - So you don't just drive, and you don't just do the school. 07:10 You also use mechanical work to witness to people. 07:15 - Done an awful lot of more practical things, 07:17 like building and with mechanics. 07:22 And a lot of the people in the area 07:26 don't really understand mechanics, 07:29 and so they have a whole bunch of broken stuff, 07:32 and so if they find out that you can fix it, 07:34 they're always over there. 07:36 And so it's a great opportunity to-- 07:38 - Right, because they're there-- 07:39 - Talk with them, yeah. 07:40 - Waiting for you to work on their things. 07:41 - Captive audience (laughs). 07:43 They're all there. 07:45 - (laughs) Wow, that's awesome. 07:46 - Because they've all got something to fix. 07:48 - I think we have some more pictures of the horrible road. 07:51 We can just go through those. 07:53 Wow, so it looks like you're almost driving through a river. 07:57 Is that-- 07:58 - No, that's just the mud puddle. 07:59 (Natalie laughs) 08:00 - They make them a little bigger over there. 08:02 This here is actually in the river, 08:04 yeah, yeah, in the river. 08:06 On the way up there, we have to cross this river 15 times 08:11 because it's basically just up a canyon with a river, 08:18 and they couldn't make the road all the way on one side, 08:20 so it just weaves back and forth across this river. 08:22 - Across the river. 08:24 And certain times of year, that's a really bad idea, 08:26 and most of the year, it's not 08:28 a really great idea in the first place. 08:29 - So you can only use the road 08:31 for about six months every year. 08:33 - Okay, so what is this picture? 08:35 - This picture is actually, 08:38 I was pulling somebody out of the ditch. 08:39 (both laugh) 08:40 They got off the side of the road 08:42 and it was a marshy, swampy area, 08:44 and they just sunk up to the axle on the one side. 08:46 And so I was just pulling them out, yeah. 08:51 This one here is actually on one of our trips in. 08:55 We met another truck, and he was in a really bad spot, 09:01 and he was kind of on the side of the hill, 09:02 almost ready to roll, and I was watching it. 09:05 It was looking like we were gonna be 09:07 trying to get a truck back upright (laughs) 09:09 because it was almost ready to roll down, and then it slid. 09:12 It started sliding. 09:13 Then it fell into the ruts. 09:15 And when it fell into the rut, the tire blew up on it. 09:19 But because it was in-- 09:21 - Better that than the whole truck. 09:22 - But because it was in the rut, it didn't roll, so. 09:26 - Wow, that's good. 09:27 So instead of that, there was a tire to take care of. 09:30 - And so right after we helped him fix that, 09:33 I had to drive through the same thing, so. 09:35 (both laugh) 09:38 - So you've had this school going out in the jungle. 09:42 What were you teaching at the school? 09:44 - We've been teaching three languages, 09:51 the Karen, Burmese, and English 09:55 because those are the local languages, 09:58 and then Bible, math. 10:02 - You had a work program, didn't you? 10:04 - Yeah, and then we have the work program, vocational stuff. 10:06 - Okay, so you had gardens and-- 10:08 - Gardens, mechanics. 10:10 So we were teaching the students 10:13 mechanics and building and different things. 10:15 - Okay, so the teachers weren't all then Americans like you. 10:21 - No. 10:22 - And you weren't doing all the teaching. 10:23 - No. 10:24 - So you had local people also helping with the teaching. 10:25 - Yeah, well, as far as the teaching, 10:29 I rarely had time to teach in the classroom, so. 10:33 (both laugh) 10:34 So it was all done by locals then. 10:36 - Yeah, it was all done by the local teachers. 10:38 - Okay, what a blessing to have 10:41 godly people who help with that. 10:43 Okay, so there's been some major changes recently 10:47 because you had to move the whole school to a new location. 10:51 And that was because of-- 10:54 - There was a lot of problems and it's danger involved. 11:01 - Okay, okay, so you had to move to a new location. 11:02 And then what's happened at the new location? 11:05 - Well, just recently, it was basically shut down. 11:11 - Yeah, by the authorities. 11:15 It's basically some legal issues. 11:18 - So now, what's gonna happen first of all 11:22 with the local teachers? 11:23 Do you see what's gonna happen with them yet? 11:25 Do you know, or is it too recent to figure out? 11:29 - I'm not totally sure. 11:31 We have ideas. 11:33 We'd like to send them back as Bible workers. 11:38 And as far as the school and things, 11:41 I think we'll probably be looking in different areas 11:47 and trying to probably open 11:51 a different project somewhere else. 11:54 - So speaking of taking light to some other place, 11:57 you kind of have some areas where you're looking. 12:00 What is the criteria that you're looking at for these areas? 12:04 - Well, what I want to see is, 12:09 I want to find a place that there isn't 12:12 other work being done, that there are no other churches, 12:15 that there are no other missionaries. 12:18 I don't want to be, 12:20 not that I don't like other missionaries, 12:23 but I want to see that the gospel is moving forward and-- 12:29 - Spread the light further. 12:30 - Spreading it further. 12:31 And so if we all take a dark corner, 12:33 it'll all be light, so yeah. 12:36 - All right, so are you looking at other areas of Thailand. 12:40 - Yeah. 12:41 - So as far as your personal walk with God, 12:45 what have you seen versus when you were here in America 12:49 before you were 18, and then once you went, have you seen? 12:53 - Well, the biggest thing that I've seen 12:56 is that there's been a, before I went over, 13:02 it seemed like it was rather 13:04 selfish focus in life, selfish outlook. 13:11 And I've seen that God working on me and changing that 13:17 to not be selfish upon myself 13:19 but to be jealous for his work. 13:24 - Jealous for his work. 13:25 I like that. 13:26 I like that phrase. 13:28 Have you found any happiness and joy in serving out there, 13:32 even though it was dangerous? 13:34 - Definitely (laughs). 13:37 - Does it make life worthwhile? 13:40 - It's been very much worthwhile. 13:42 (both laugh) 13:43 It's been a lot of fun, yeah. 13:44 - That's good, rewarding. 13:46 So before you went to the mission field, 13:49 did you go to college and get a college degree? 13:52 - No, no. 13:53 - No? Have you ever wished you had? 13:57 Have you ever felt kind of that you needed that? 13:59 - Not really. 14:01 It was in everything that I've done over there, 14:05 I haven't needed it. 14:07 - God does enable us too, 14:09 to work beyond what we were trained for. 14:11 Because you were leading out in a school, 14:13 (Travis laughs) 14:14 and that wasn't something that, 14:16 I mean, homeschool, I guess, prepares you in a way. 14:18 - Yes, it is funny. 14:19 The first time I was ever in a classroom, 14:22 I was the teacher, but (laughs). 14:26 - That is funny, but God does those kinds of things. 14:30 - Of course, I've been homeschooled, 14:31 but that's not in a classroom setting. 14:34 - God enables you even though 14:35 you don't have that kind of training. 14:37 He enabled you, not that he wouldn't have used it 14:40 if you had a college degree. 14:41 - No (laughs). 14:43 Imagine what else he might have asked you to do. 14:44 But it's nice to see when God opens doors 14:48 and gives you the abilities to do stuff 14:50 that you haven't been trained for 14:52 or don't have experience with. 14:55 And Becky, I know that you've been helping 14:58 with different medical missionary things there 15:01 while you were living at Lisa and Leroy's place. 15:05 - One day it was Friday, and us girls were outside 15:09 painting the tresses on the new bath terrium for the roof, 15:16 and a lady comes running in, and she's gasping, 15:20 and she's blurting out her story. 15:23 And Mimi's trying to translate, 15:25 but she's a little slow, and she has to 15:27 have them speak clearly because it's Pwo. 15:30 It's not Sgaw. 15:32 And apparently, her daughter is dying. 15:36 She's overdosed. 15:37 And so Mommy Lisa gathers her things 15:43 and throws whatever she can think of in a bag, 15:46 and they run out and they tell Jason. 15:48 And before you know it, Jason is flying down the road. 15:51 And (laughs) so we were left there to pray. 15:58 We don't know if she'll be dead by the time they get there. 16:01 The story was kind of fuzzy. 16:03 But they got back and told us that yeah, she had overdosed. 16:07 And they were monitoring her heart rate, 16:12 and it would go up really fast, and then it'd stop. 16:18 And her blood pressure was really high. 16:21 And an ambulance was coming, but they decided 16:26 that finally they would go try 16:28 to meet up with the ambulance. 16:30 And just as they were going out, the ambulance came. 16:34 But she should have died, but she didn't. 16:40 She was in the hospital for, like, three days. 16:42 I don't remember. 16:45 But she had depression issues. 16:48 We hadn't really realized. 16:50 She was kind of a quiet girl. 16:51 I had really never noticed her that much. 16:55 She was kind of sweet. 16:58 But apparently, she had a reputation 16:59 for having a very hot temper. 17:03 She had just got married two weeks before. 17:05 God has blessed, and she's growing 17:09 and has a little baby boy (laughs), 17:11 and she seems to be doing pretty well. 17:14 - Oh, good, well, that's neat. 17:15 Well, we do have a few more pictures 17:17 we want to look at from the school that you've had. 17:19 And I think this first one is of you with the kids, right? 17:23 This is the students? 17:24 - [Travis] Yes, yeah. 17:25 - And they were in the dorms, right? 17:27 You had dorms? 17:28 - Yeah, yeah, they were all in the dorm. 17:30 - Dorm students, okay. 17:31 - Yeah, dorm students. 17:32 - [Natalie] Okay, and then this picture is with 17:34 one of the teacher's families? 17:35 Is that correct? 17:36 - Yes, this is one of the teacher's families. 17:38 He's also a very experienced mechanic, 17:42 and so he works with both teaching 17:45 and mechanics at the school. 17:47 - All right, so first of all, 17:50 how did they come to be teachers at your school? 17:52 How did you get to know this couple? 17:54 - Originally, my brother had a school 18:00 further north than where I'm at. 18:02 And both him and his wife and a whole bunch of other-- 18:11 - Young people. 18:12 - Young people came to my brother's school, 18:16 and they learned English and Bible. 18:20 And at that time, they were still single, 18:25 and he's gone through a lot. 18:27 Well, she was Catholic and he was-- 18:31 - Buddhist, pretty much. 18:33 - Yeah, a little of everything, is what he said. 18:36 (all laugh) 18:37 - Kind of a mixed up religious person then, okay. 18:41 - Yeah, because-- - He was (mumbles). 18:42 - He had people, the Catholics in his family, 18:46 and he had tried out pretty much 18:48 every religion by that point. 18:53 And there was a whole group there. 18:55 And at the end, when my brother's closed down his school, 19:01 they all came down and became my teachers. 19:05 - Oh, nice. 19:06 So back to the witnessing and sharing Jesus. 19:11 You've had a number of baptisms from the school, 19:14 or what has that been like? 19:16 - Yes, there's been quite a few, 19:19 I think well over 10 by now, yeah. 19:23 - Okay, awesome. 19:24 - How many-- 19:25 - I have pictures of all of them. 19:26 - Teachers do we have? 19:27 - I just don't remember (laughs) each. 19:29 There was so many different times, so. 19:33 - So you started with eight teachers, 19:34 and now you have four families, 19:36 and they're doing different things. 19:38 Some of them are teaching, 19:40 and some are helping with other things. 19:42 Okay, so if we sent them as Bible workers, 19:45 would they be going into cities, 19:47 or would they be going into jungle areas, remote areas? 19:49 Where would they be going? 19:50 - Very remote areas, actually, 19:52 in the mountains, and it's in the jungle. 19:55 And yeah, it's rough out there. 19:59 (both laugh) 20:00 - Okay, wow. 20:02 Well, we've got a couple more pictures we want to show. 20:04 I think these are just some fun ones you took with the kids. 20:07 I noticed there's no girls in these pictures. 20:10 - Yeah, the girls were scared to get out there (laughs) 20:13 and take pictures. 20:16 - They were more shy? 20:17 - Yeah, very much so (laughs), 20:18 but the boys, they wanted to have their picture taken. 20:22 - Is this a picture of you and Becky 20:26 with one of the other teacher's families, I think? 20:28 - Yeah, yeah, this is one of, when I'm not there, 20:30 he heads up the school, him and his wife. 20:33 - Okay, so he's the second in command. 20:34 - Yeah. 20:35 - Okay, so he had to take the bad news 20:37 that the school was shut down, 20:40 and he had to send it to you. 20:41 - Yeah. 20:42 - Okay, wow. 20:43 I want to just reiterate this point, 20:45 that what you've been doing has been stopped now. 20:50 And so now you're looking forward to 20:52 the next thing that God is leading you to, 20:54 but you don't see it as a failure. 20:56 - No, I don't see it as a failure (laughs). 20:58 - You don't see it as any sort of decline 21:01 in the ministry opportunity or anything. 21:03 You see it as a stepping stone. 21:05 - Yeah, I just think of what Job said. 21:11 "God has given. 21:13 "God has taken away. 21:14 "Blessed be the name of the Lord." 21:16 - Right, and God can give again. 21:19 We learn that from the story of Job also. 21:21 And he can give even more than you had before. 21:24 - Yeah, so I'm not worried about it. 21:28 God has another place. 21:30 - And another plan for you as a newly married couple. 21:33 (all laugh) 21:37 So is there anything more that 21:38 either of you would like to share? 21:39 We're coming to the end of our time together, but. 21:42 - Well, I'd just like to say 21:44 it's really neat to see how God has taken 21:46 this group of native and turned them into missionaries. 21:53 First they were students at his brother's school. 21:55 Then they were his teachers, and now it looks like 21:58 they're gonna become Bible workers. 22:00 And they're married now. 22:02 They have families. 22:04 Just, it's a huge blessing to me. 22:08 - [Natalie] To see the growth. 22:09 - To see the growth. 22:10 - Wow, that's neat. 22:11 And to think that God wants to do that in all of our lives. 22:14 - Amen. 22:15 - He wants to take us from step to step to step, 22:17 growing closer and closer to him. 22:20 In all of Thailand, how many people 22:22 would qualify to teach at your school, do you think? 22:24 - Well, not very many. 22:27 It's really hard to find good quality young people-- 22:34 - Christians. 22:35 - Christians that are willing to work for God 22:39 in a situation like we had. 22:41 It wasn't easy. 22:42 - Yeah, it was a long ways away from everything. 22:45 It was dangerous many times. 22:48 - Yes, many times. 22:49 - From different sources, 22:50 (both laugh) 22:52 Not just the jungle creatures, but from other sources. 22:55 And so there were not people that would be willing, 23:00 probably not very many, anyway. 23:03 And to have the walk with God that they need 23:06 to survive in that kind of circumstance. 23:09 - They were very committed to it, 23:12 and they didn't turn and run when hardship hit. 23:21 An interesting fact. 23:22 This is kind of funny, actually. 23:25 The week after they arrived, 23:28 they were there for one week, and then the next week, 23:36 somebody went and shot the head man of the village. 23:41 At that point, they were like, 23:42 "Should we stay or should we not?" 23:46 And they were like, "If you're staying, we will too." 23:49 (all laugh) 23:52 - Wow, so they had to make a decision pretty quick. 23:54 - Yeah, they were very committed when they came. 23:57 - Wow, praise the Lord. 23:58 - I've been very impressed with his teachers. 24:01 Just when everything happened 24:05 and we were trying to restart the school and move it, 24:09 he's paying them teachers' salaries, 24:11 but this is school break, and they weren't going to get paid 24:16 for that few months. 24:19 Was it, like, three months? 24:20 - Two and a half, three months. 24:22 - Two and a half months. 24:23 And here they were just working as hard as they could 24:28 and living in ridiculous conditions like, let's see. 24:32 There was Vetu and his wife. 24:33 There was Sajang and their family. 24:37 And there was Mimi and there was Dutu. 24:40 There was you and I. 24:42 And we're all in this little building with all this stuff, 24:44 and they're trying to train their kids 24:47 and help restart a school and put additions on the building. 24:52 And we had to pull off the roof, and it rained. 24:54 It just poured. 24:56 And (laughs) we were all in one corner with the wood. 24:59 And these teachers have stuck it out. 25:02 They've stuck it out. 25:04 They're not just teachers. 25:06 They're missionaries. 25:08 - Wow. So next question. 25:10 We're talking about sending the teachers 25:12 now as Bible workers. 25:14 So how many Bible workers are 25:15 in the areas where they would go to? 25:17 Are there other Bible workers working there, or? 25:19 - Well, currently, the only work 25:22 that was being done in the area 25:25 was the project that we had. 25:27 And so if we send them out in that area, 25:30 then they are the only-- 25:32 - They'll be the only Bible workers. 25:34 - Yeah, Bible workers in that area. 25:35 - Wow, and what about the area that you're thinking 25:37 the Lord might be guiding you to in Thailand? 25:39 Because I know you've got a couple different 25:41 places you're thinking about. 25:43 What about those areas? 25:44 Are there other Christians there? 25:45 Are there other Adventists there? 25:47 - As far as 100% sure if there is, I don't know exactly, 25:53 but I'm pretty sure it's really close to zero (laughs). 25:56 - There's definitely no other missionaries 26:00 in the areas where you're looking. 26:01 Wow, so you're making sure that you're 26:03 going to unentered places. 26:06 - Yeah, I know it's good too, 26:11 to have groups and work together, 26:12 but I also think it's important to enter into new areas. 26:16 - Right, spread the light further, wow. 26:20 - I like starting things. 26:24 - (laughs) You like starting new things? 26:25 - (laughs) It's one of the reasons I married him. 26:27 (all laugh) 26:29 - That is a new thing. 26:31 A marriage is a very new thing. 26:35 - Yeah, because he's a leader. 26:38 He was the youngest in the family, 26:40 but God has trained him up to be a leader, 26:43 someone who will push forward no matter what happens. 26:45 - That's good. 26:47 God is good. 26:49 He's equipping you and giving you the tools that you need 26:52 for the work that he has planned. 26:54 All right, well, we look forward 26:56 to you coming back and sharing more stories later. 26:59 Maybe we can get some stories out in the field again. 27:01 Some of our viewers may have seen 27:03 videos of you before on our show 27:06 because we've had videos of you before, 27:08 but this was the first time 27:09 you've actually sat down with us here. 27:12 And so maybe we can send some videographers out 27:16 to follow you around and find out what you're doing next. 27:18 (light piano music) 27:20 But in the meantime, thank you so much for being here, 27:21 both of you, and sharing the story. 27:24 And we look forward to hearing more. 27:26 - Okay. - All right. 27:29 And I would like to invite our viewers 27:31 to pray for Travis and Becky, the newlyweds, 27:34 as they search for where God would have them to serve next, 27:37 what he wants to start next 27:38 with their hands and their feet. 27:40 And pray for these teachers that will probably 27:43 be sent as Bible workers in the near future. 27:46 If you would like to get involved, 27:47 you can contact Jesus for Asia 27:49 at PO Box 1221, Collegedale, Tennessee 37315, 27:55 call us at (423) 413-7321, 27:59 or visit our website at Jesus4Asia.org. 28:02 May God richly bless you until we see you next time 28:05 on Jesus for Asia Now. 28:07 (majestic music) |
