July 2024 Prayer Letter
Dear Family and Friends,
Thanks to all of you who pray for us and support our ministry in Thailand. Please accept our apologies for not writing more frequently. From March to May was the year end break at Chiang Mai Theological Seminary, which I thought would mean time off but somehow other projects, speaking engagements, and course planning for the new school year filled the time and now the new academic term is upon us.
Lord, Give Us More Students!
I really love the ministry of Chiang Mai Theological Seminary and the great team of other teachers that I get to work with, but student numbers continue to be low. This term I have more students in the classroom than I did last term but many are still online. And our current student body of 60 students or so is less than half of what it was before Covid. We don’t necessarily need to be a BIG school or to compete with other seminaries and Bible colleges in Thailand, but I think we have an important contribution to make to Thai churches with our strong emphases on Bible (and solid Bible interpretation and exegetical preaching) and missions.
