After 18 years since our arrival to work as International Ministries global servants in Thailand, we are moving back to the United States next month. Chuck has tendered his resignation from IM and will be stepping into a new role as senior pastor of the First Baptist Church of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in the middle of October. Ruth is in conversation with IM regarding the possibility of a role with IM that will utilize her experiences in Thailand/Asia and allow her to continue responding to her call to ministry.

This project will provide family bathrooms, training in hygiene and sanitation, family gardens and village training gardens.

It’s been a few months since my last journal update, and I thought I’d give you a summary version of all the things going on here.

Mike is a global consultant for rural development for American Baptist International Ministries. Mike has more than 20 years of experience, and he’s available to any of our international partners who are interested in developing water and/or agricultural projects.

Towards the beginning of August, our family was involved in a conference in Cha-am, which is south of Bangkok.
