Viva la Church du Vietnam

Our visit here with friends among the many has been very sweet. Tremendous fruit. 

I was able to teach immediately The information I have studied in my IPad library and since I need to commit  most  information to memory was thrilling to see it so received. 

 This information was the dynamic communication styles men and women use in the expression  of 

Themselves, , the dynamics of their language and the analysis of "the argument " and steps to  diffusing and  resolving  them. 

This was during our Marriage and Family sessions.  

There have been numerous  expressions of faith and trust, which   Are necessary to remain untold   at this posting.   

Photos of gathering is withheld at this time. 

 This is representative  of the many   beautiful buildings in architecture taken from the French Influence  here for many years. 

A fill report will be posted later. 

Father and Son

This is a great photo of our son Ben and his son wyatt. Ben is a doting father as you can see here. 

We are anxious to get home and spend time with them. 

Beautiful family faces

We are so excited to be home again with family. While away, 

  their absence feels even greater.  I can be called romantasis ,  our family really is our lifeline. 

 What a great  smile and little wyatt has  filled my heart with joy 

We surely look forward to seeing them soon. Xx

Chimes Over Mandalay

I

 

 Still  under military  control, this  nation is waking up  to  their  cell  phones  chiming constantly. 

  This  modest and unassuming  Country is electrified with  chimes of progress. 

Albeit cautious in a too quickly growing economy,   shops, taxis. Private  homes  and last but not least, the Bible School where Jim taught the 3rd  Inductive   seminar chimed with frequent calls.  

To his credit he didn't miss a beat and seems to roll with the punches. 

Some afternoons were smouldering with the heat of the "ill tempered sun" and yet he finished his  job well.  

He passed the baton and  taught  them the necessary tools to  understand the Word  of  God  via  verse by vverse, using the 5 interrogative friends, so to speak, and be able to teach it  as  to be understood and applied by the hearers.  

The 2images of the dorms are used by the male students in the photo. 

As you can see from these previous  posts  his students  range from different ages and economic and educational status.  

As I finish this post, we are presently on flight to Saigon, Vietnam  to begin again the well received Training. 

To keep things simple and basic, we do our laundry by hand and  gratefully enjoy the most basic of needs met . 

This is my beloved, relaxed and happy after we have finished our time here in Mandalay. 

I am very proud of him. 

Joy with the Tribes

This photo taken with   A Kachin  couple who   Wanted  to ne photographed in their ethnic clothes were part of the participants in the first Inductive Seminar  in Northern Myanmar. 

He is a Pastor and he and his wife are presently caring for 10 orphans who  were homeless.  

These children were vulnerable having no place to be cared for and showed up  in  their Village. 

We  presented them with a monetary gift from our support. 

 

Aungbom , Myanmar 

 this was the place of the 2nd Inductive Seminar. 

Jim taught them with such passion. 

 Below is a home church of Chin believers.  It  was wonderful fellowship.  They sang familiar  hymns  and we joined in in our language. 

  is a 

is a predominately  Buddhist   Country. Yet  the True Light of The Gospel  shines in the darkness and  leads many out, to Jesus. 

A Prop Plane

Reading oiuy

TO Northern Myanmar! THE  GOLDEN TRIANGLE 

                           

As we sat in the very provincial airport on Yangoon, I couldn't help   but think about the safety of this flight. I assessed the  condition  of  the x- Ray machine  and the 

 Fellow passengers. They appeared to be  unconcerned until the 2nd  announcement  over the loud speaker confirmed indeed our flight was delayed  due  to weather. The sky  cast   a foreboding  threat of rain as the clouds were swollen with an imminent  downpour .  When our flight did eventually arrive and we were called to que up  to  begin to board,, Jim and I both commented simultaneously,

 " it's a prop plane !"  

Thankfully, we climbed to beautiful heights soaring above the clouds and I was able to view the earth below from my window. 

It was a very un eventful flight 2 hours to Northern Muanmar  , where we would begin the first seminar.

In the city of Mytikyina. 

This river, dwarfed by my photo here,   runs through the country m it's headwaters  from mountains in the Northern Territory  where we were headed in this flight. We would be only 40 miles from the China border and 40 miles from the  Conflict Zone. 

The image below is a stern warning  to unwelcomed  visitors who may venture in, disregardin the posted restrictions. This is posted in the  Lobby of our hotel, which was owned by a Christian. 

In the city  of  Mytiktyina. 

The location we would be hosting the first seminar was offered in an Orphanage. 

It was a beautiful situation as it says in Psalms, as this was a Christian  Home. 

 As there were 140  children , true orphans  whose  parents had been killed

  in the  past  few years  by   tribal and Burmese Conflict, which at present is at a lull. 

 Or the children have been orphaned by heroin  addiction HIV  and in some cases poverty. 

  Interestingly enough we are in The  Golden Triangle here.

I am sharing with the children, in Chapel Hour.

The elderly man in this photo is the Founder and Director of the Orphanage. 

 He was once Govenor of the State and   Mayor   Of  the  city. . 

He is very humble  and loves Jesus. 

PTA buys thousands  if pairs of new reading glasses in different  strengths and we give them to Pastors  their wives and Christian Workers.  This simple  gift  changes their life's.  What a joy to witness. 

Sweet Memories

Our grandson 

     Here is a picture of my friend  of many years in   Thephillipines   at their orphanage.  

 This  image represents  many years of trusting God for His Provision in Ministry , as well as growing up  In the Faith unto a working knowledge of  Christian  Grace and purpose. 

My friend, Susan Kimball,  represents that kind of character  in her expression of Biblical values. 

Of these Values, we were nurtured  and instructed  in the days of our youth to honer Christ and live for Him. 

 It is a sad day when  Biblical Truth  is   summarily subject to mans secular foolishness

. 

I have been studying some materials to write a  teaching  manual for my sessions with our Marriage and Family Seminar. 

I enjoy research and making application, and the application must be understood and practical. 

 For  myself, I am challenged  in the process of clarity  and being concise 

. 

In my spare time, which is the afternoon brief rest  time, , I managed to finish an ambitious painting for our wall here.  I had to lay this canvas over every flat  surface  to work 

  On  it. 

In the  end  I  was pleased on 2 accounts. 

I had  finished what I started and that it did not embarrass me hanging up. 

 

 

I this  painting is Titled: TROPICAL dreams  it is 52 inches  x4 ft. 

have also had art classes with our grandson Noah who shows  great ability and interest in Art and colours. 

Leah and I have enjoyed many  wonderful memories over our coffee talks.  These times together have been  the highlight of many a long and studious afternoon. We have treasured such times. 

We are now on our way to Burma,  on  July 4. Will post another from there. Our 

Our grandson Boaz getting in some play time with grandpa and darts.  As you can see,  the  rain is just a expected   Part  of the day.
