September update from Jeff Gordon, WOL Thailand
Dear Fellowship Chapel,
Jessie and I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your faithful prayers. Our schedules always seem to stay busy, even when we anticipate times of "slowing down." Jessie stays busy with the three children and homeschooling Jackson, while also finding time to meet with young ladies each Tuesday and Friday as well as preparing for camp. I praise God for the regular teaching opportunities He has given me as well as the chance to get out and meet Thai students on their campuses and spread the wonderful news of His salvation. We hope this update will help you more effectively pray for us, and as always, please pass along your prayer requests to us as well.
| | | Camp is Coming Quickly! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  With camp just over a month away, we have been and will continue to be very busy promoting camp at local schools and universities, as well as preparing all of the necessary materials for English classes and for the games and activities. We are praying for at least 80 campers this year, which would be a significant increase over last year. Since we promote the heaviest at public schools, for the majority of the students, our camp will be the first time in their life that they will hear a clear presentation of the gospel. As you can see from the photo, Jackson has been a big help and loves telling the students about our camp. If you have not already, please watch the following video to see the impact this camp can have on the lives of Thai youth. Por's Story
| | Teaching Opportunities ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  This past Tuesday, Jeff had the honor of teaching at Bangkok Bible Seminary, introducing the books of 1st and 2nd Thessalonians to the 1st year students. It was a great opportunity to have an influence in the lives of these young men and women that have committed their lives to study God's Word and take their training back to their provinces and local churches.
Over the past few weeks, Jeff has also been teaching 1st and 2nd Thessalonians to Streams of Blessing Church on Friday nights. Our goal is to expand this teaching time to other books of the Bible and doctrines to last the entire year.
| | New Missionaries Arriving ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We are also very excited to have two young ladies arriving in Thailand next week that will be working with us for the next three months. God has placed a special burden for Thailand on their hearts and we are praying that while here, God opens the doors for them to permanently join our staff. Alejandra comes from the staff of Word of Life in Mexico and Bambi from the staff of Word of Life in the Philippines. These two girls have taken a tremendous step of faith and we are excited to see how God provides for them. As you know, it can be more difficult to raise missionary support in countries where many churches cannot afford a full time pastor. For this reason, we have opened a support account with Word of Life for those that would like to help support these two young ladies and others that we pray will be following them. All donations will be tax deductible, just as any other contributions to WOL. If you are interested, please contact me for more information.
