Thailand 2009!

On Monday morning, the 2nd of three short-term missions will take off for Northern Thailand from Jackson International Airport. Nine members of First Baptist Church Mathiston will be taking part in gospel work for the glory of Christ in what is truly the uttermost part of the world. As the date for departure draws near reality is setting in. Two weeks away from my wife and boys seems like an eternity. The comparatively insignificant sacrifices made by those who will go seem so small in light of the sacrifices made by those who have made gospel proclamation among unreached peoples a way of life. As you pray for those taking part in this momentary mission I hope that you will be reminded to pray for those who have given their lives for the gospel. Remember those missionaries we will be working alongside and even those unknown to us.

We will use this site to update and share with family, friends, and those churches within our missions network. I'll do my best to update along the way. My goal is to update at the close of each day and as possible when travelling. Below is a travel itinerary for those keeping up with along the way:

The in country flight and our schedule while there is of course not posted but we'll keep you updated. Remember to pray for those who are going as well as the missionaries we are working alongside, and of course the Northern Thai people. Pray that God will break the hearts a an entire nation, that they would be arrested by the Spirit of God, and that the gospel would be received with joy.
