Ballou Family in Thailand

Legitimately one of the hardest things I do in a week is speak Thai in front of a camera. It's incredibly nerve-wracking for a lot of reasons. We are so thankful for everyone who prays for us, and specifically for our efficacy in communication! https://fb.watch/aDiVx6zR9R/

If you have a chance to pray for our family today, please take a moment to pray for a middle aged woman who made a profession of faith in Jesus just before we had to go online due to the pandemic. She has had a lot of opposition since then, and lately has seemed unresponsive. As in many cases I cannot share more details, but God knows her and hears your prayers! Thanks so much!

I’m loving this new routine at the preschool where my daughter attends. It’s just an English book reading making use of the free time before assembly, as I drop off Arie. The kids are adorable and smart, and often hilarious.
We have had many of our regular outreaches suspended throughout 2020 because of Covid, so I am thankful for this opportunity to invest in a future generation.
This is the same preschool where I’ve had opportunities to share the gospel during big activities, and I’m praying that God will use these long-term relationships to help us impact our city for Christ.

This video is meant to give a glimpse into everyday life for our family in Lamphun, Thailand.

The first month in our new church building has been so blessed! Check out this brief recap of the renovation process. I am so thankful for the part that each of our members played in getting ready to worship in our beautiful new space!

Could you be the one Christian in a school of 1,000 students where the teachers openly ridicule you? Would you stand when they blame every misfortune you face on your Christianity? In our college and career group this evening one of the girls gave asked for prayer and wisdom to stand in her faith. Her name is Duan (month). Could you pray for her too?

Thank you so much for your prayers and support! As we hit the halfway point of this year, here is a look back at our first 16 months in the country of Thailand!
