We are excited about the 21 or more students coming from Burma to become Barefoot Doctors with Frontier Labourers for Christ.
The new students will arrive in Chiang Mai around January 18th and begin their classes on the 20th. Jon Ulm, Dr. Jim Winters, and Jung Dangshing will be leading Orientation Week and teaching Bible classes. It will be interesting to hear their testimonies and to discover why they want to become Barefoot Doctors.
Then starting on January 27th we will have the medical training for this, the first of three winters of training. Graduation for these Barefoot Doctors won't be until March of 2016 but they will be learning a lot this first year and start helping with some of the medical needs of their respective areas as soon as they return home in March of 2014.
Please be praying every day for the success of the school and this new group of students. We are still raising support for the school expenses and for the Barefoot Doctors we have on the field. If you know of funding places for us to look, please let us know.
If you would like to make a gift, please see the sidebar to discover where to send it.
This blog will become more and more active now, so please let other people know about it.
Thanks for all you do to help the Barefoot Doctors ministry.
Jon
