Off They Go

Clinton and the boys left for Cambodia on Sunday night. They took a train to BKK and then a plane to Cambodia. They will be there for four days and then the boys will fly back to Thailand and Clinton will go on to Vietnam. This has been a dream for Clinton. He's wanted to go to these two countries since we've lived in Thailand. They met up with some other FIRE grads and will be sharing the Gospel in villages and in some churches. However, Vietnam is a closed country and we ask for your prayers of protection. They last time that Fabian, Clinton's friend that he met up with, went to Vietnam, he was followed by the police. They will be picked up by four different motorcycles and take different routes so that they won't look suspicious. If there are too many foreigners gathered in one place and there's a meeting going on, the police will come. And if you are caught preaching the Gospel then you'll go to jail. I am not fearful at all, in fact, when we heard about the opportunity I knew in my spirit that Clinton should go. We prayed for the money and God provided within 24hours. I'm holding down the fort here. Bang is still in school and he also still doesn't have a passport. We are waiting on the judge to give all authority to his natural father and once that happens then he'll be able to get a Thai passport and we will be able to enter the adoption process. We really want to travel with him, and take him places, but we have to wait until the process is complete. He was sad that he couldn't go with his brothers. But he's doing okay. He's such a good child and easy to handle. We praise God for him. Clinton text messaged me and asked me to pray for him. He was getting sick the day he left and it's gotten worse. He has a terrible cough and lots of congestion. Please pray for him. I'll be posting pictures once they get back.
