Dear Church & Friends;

My how times slips away, the kids are back in school, and the monsoon rains are here which
means it’s time to plant rice again. For the first time since we opened our Children’s Home
seven years ago we now have more kids in high school than elementary.

Surapol our graduate this year had plans on becoming a teacher, but he did not pass the exam
to most of our surprise. He told me “Papaw it was hard” well he still went on to college he
just had a change in career choices and will now study to work in the medical field.

Our churches are doing well we have new people coming to Hilltop Baptist Church and Star’s
Sunday School class has grown to nine now. Some of these kids and family that visit regular
are lost we pray that someday soon they will trust the Lord.  Chayphruk Baptist is has new
folks coming, and we are excited about what God is doing.

The lepers at Mai Lao are still asking for help, and there is little we can do for them right now
until the Lord provides. We could just build a church but they could not get to it with no feet
to walk on, please pray for these forgotten people of Thailand. We are working on something
special to do for them this Christmas that will involve all our kids.

The Rutledge family is at 70% of their support, and has an urgent prayer request, that they get
their house sold soon. They still plan on being in Thailand to start language school in January
2012.

Don’t forget our First Annual Missionary Revival February 13-15, 2012 at Hilltop Baptist
Church in Rong Bir Thailand. My pastor Bro. Tracy Gross will be there to preach to all the
missionaries, encouraging, and challenging them.  Need more info, contact me , I promise
your life will be changed.
