Dear Friends in Christ,
There is joy in my heart as I watch Ken and Martha Anderson and Esther Kim, our three new mission workers with Christian Volunteers in Thailand (CVT), settle into their new homes and begin work here in Thailand. I am grateful to have them. In past letters I have shared with you how the political upheaval in Thailand scared away a number of prospective volunteers. After the coup d’etat last May, we received only two new CVT mission workers last fall and three this spring, while nine CVT mission workers completed their terms of service and returned home. But the interim government in Thailand has worked hard to restore order and keep things calm, and I am delighted to report that we will receive 11 new CVT mission workers over the next six months!
