Thanks

We would like to thank everyone who has given money towards our trip. We now have more money than we need and everything we raise from now until May 2 will be given to the Lord's ministry in Thailand. We are very excited about the many ways that God is going to use us to benefit his ministry on the other side of the world. We really don't know what to expect, but we know that God is going to do great things in our hearts and in the hearts of the people in Thailand. Thanks.
Jon and Michael
