25 Students On Their Way Soon!

Just this weekend Jon was able to webcam with our missionary friend, Beverley, in Thailand. We talked about the upcoming Barefoot Doctors School and the 25 students coming from Myanmar/Burma to study Bible and learn how to take care of people's medical needs in their own country. Some of the students will be coming from northern Burma, and some of them will come from southern and western Burma. We are excited that 3 or 4 new tribes will be represented this time, which means the Lord's work will soon be expanding into new villages we could not have reached before! Since some of the students come from such remote areas, they are leaving their homes now in order to fly to Chiang Mai on January 28th. They have packed their things and said goodbye to their families. They will be gone from their homes for over two months! The doctors who will be teaching our classes this year are also getting ready to leave home. Most will stay for a week or two, but a couple of them will stay for five weeks. We are so grateful for their help. Clark and I leave on January 30th. Please pray for all of us, students and teachers and FLC staff, as we make final preparations for the 2010 classes.
