June News!

We want to thank each of you for your continued support and prayers.
For the past few months, our field has been going through some
transitions.   Two of our staff families have left Laos and another
will leave this month.  We are hopeful that new workers will come in
the Lord’s timing.

Kirk is really enjoying his role as the director of Candlelight
Language & Vocational School.  He has facilitated some staff training
days where the group has grown in their knowledge of how to work
together.  Our family has enjoyed spending time with the staff during
special holidays and celebrations in Laos and we’re excited to be
starting a Bible study for the staff in our home.

Calah and the girls have had a wonderful school year at the Co-op; but
they are looking forward to summer break.  Calah will begin teaching
English for kids at Candlelight this month.  Also starting up this
week, a group of ladies will be coming over to study the Bible together
on Fridays.

Kolaya, Mikaya and Keziah are going to be studying at Candlelight in
their Lao program for kids!  They are very excited!

Please pray that:
     * New English teachers and other workers will come to join our team
     * We have the ability to communicate well in Lao and connect with the
       school staff during work, special events, and weekly Bible studies
     * Jai's mom, who has been hospitalized for the last week after
       throwing up and experiencing severe diarrhea for at least a week
       prior, will be healed and that her family will come to know the
       Father
     * Kham, the Lao language coordinator at Candlelight, has a brother
       who has been in prison for 4 years without a trial.  Pray that he
       is released.  Kirk will tell his story in our next note out.
