Dear Prayer Partners,
On March 27 and 28 Lot, Boi and I were in the Karen village of Mae Ming to build partnerships for MGT outreach. As we discussed matters with the local Karen leadership, we discovered that my Dad's Karen co-worker, Digitoo, served as pastor in that village from 1956 to 1966. As I grew up, Dad used to tell us interesting stories of him and Digitoo. Sharing the Gospel in Hmong villages from 1953-55 as they hiked, prayed and fought many spiritual battles together while learning the Hmong language and culture, their witness brought the fruit of Hmong coming to know and follow Jesus Christ. Sometimes they played GRN Hmong records from a gramophone as they witnessed. We got to meet some believers who remembered Dad and Digitoo. It is good to follow in their steps with MGT's efforts to reach out to those in remote villages. We are encouraged to continue reaching out.
Thanks for your prayers for us throughout May. We appreciate your faithfulness.
