We are always deeply touched by the
hearts of children who have received a burden on their hearts for other
children in need. Several months ago, we
were contacted by Johnna, who is the mother of Rachel Bolin. The Lord placed a burden on this six-year-old
girl to start a campaign called Soles-4-Souls, to purchase shoes for children
that could not afford them. Rachel
wanted to help raise funds to purchase school shoes for the children of
Blessing Home. Rachel’s Soles-4-Souls
campaign included an elementary school and her church, Russell Springs
UMC. Just before Christmas, Rachel gave
the Thailand Methodist Mission a check which would cover the cost of shoes for all 70
children receiving full scholarships to go to public school this year. Thank you Rachel and Johnna!

We are on the final stages of construction for Blessing Home
Isan and TMM missionaries Carol Fare and Vicki Brown expect to move in on
February 15, if all goes as planned. We
are in the midst of installing electricity, air conditioners, and making
modifications to the plumbing in one of the buildings. The Thai Christians chose very bright colors
for the buildings, as you see in the pictures.
The yellow building is the computer and English learning
center. The green building is the
missionary house for Carol and Vicki.
The blue building is the kitchen and restrooms. A fourth building will soon begin
construction also. The fourth building
will be a large room that will be used as a worship center and for large
events.
We are very, very excited.
God is good!
