Renovations Complete

It is with profound gratitude that I can announce that the New Life Center Foundation’s post-flood repairs and renovations at our Chiang Rai residence and Chiang Mai office are now complete!  You may recall that our facilities were very badly flooded in September and October of 2024. Thanks to your generosity, some hard-working contractors, and the New Life Center’s dedicated staff, our facilities have now been restored to good working order.  The work included deep cleaning, rewiring the electrical system, removing moldy ceiling tiles, raising the floor of of the office, and repainting.  We also replaced broken doors, windows, air conditioners, water pump, furniture, and security cameras. The before and after photos tell the story of recovery and hope.  Thank you so much for your generosity that made these renovations possible!

Sabbatical Update

I am halfway through my six-month sabbatical leave, and all is going well.  I am taking time to rest, get exercise, pray, and produce art.  I am also reflecting on the last 22 years of ministry, and seeking discernment for the next season of ministry.

My sabbatical will culminate in a solo art exhibit, which will open on the evening of August 1 at the Mosaic Market Art Gallery in Chiang Mai. If you expect to be in Asia at that time, please come and join us for this special event!

Thank you for your support which enables me to continue sharing the love of God in Thailand.
