"Prayer is the key for our Christian lives. Prayer is relational; it involves speaking and listening; it engages our hearts and minds. When we open our minds to God in humble worship and through honest dialogue, we invite the Spirit to lead us "into all truth" (John 16:13). In prayer, God can help us see with spiritual eyes the events occurring in our world today. Not satisfied with the lens of the media or our own limiting biases, we seek the perspective of God, who through Jesus Christ is reconciling to himself all things—on earth and in heaven." - From the "Welcome" article in YWAM's 2021 Personal Prayer Diary & Daily Planner
Thank you for praying! We're deeply grateful that you take the following requests before our Father’s throne in intercession. Thank you so much for praying our current prayer praises, prayer requests, and intercessory prayers noted below:  

• For Joel traveling to a Karen church in Northern Thailand for a weekend training on October 1st and 2nd.
• For the Koala Love outreach scheduled for October 23 at Friend of Grace Church in Chiang Mai. Pray for the children attending to be open to receiving Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
• Pray for the 77 Thai children who responded to the Gospel at a youth camp in Roi Et Province. 150 kids attending the event received motorcycle helmets (provided by EI through out Koala Love outreach) and New Testaments. We were excited to learn about their decision to follow Christ, Praise God!
• We've had many invitations throughout all areas of Thailand to conduct Koala Love outreaches in 2023. We're praying for funding in order to purchase motorcycle helmets for distribution in 2023. Our goal is to raise $25,000 to do so. We currently need to raise this full amount. Thai children are responding to the Gospel throughout Thailand. We're excited about the incredible opportunities for us to participate in sharing Christ's love. Please pray with us to receive the needed funding to purchase motorcycle helmets (and other budget needs) in 2023.
• For Kelly who'll be speaking to a group of ladies in India (via Zoom) on October 6th. This will be Kelly's first time speaking to a group from India. Pray for her as she prepares the lesson that she'll be sharing.
• Pray in advance for a ministry outreach with our ministry partner, iServe, during the Christmas holiday among Thai seekers. iServe is now working on the logistics. Pray for clear direction for what location in Northern Thailand to do this ministry outreach.
• Continue to pray in advance for a Koala Love outreach at a larger church (Acts Church) in Chiang Mai during their Christmas event for the community. They want us to set up a booth at the event in which they're expecting a few thousand Thais in the local community to attend. We're excited about this opportunity.
• Continue to pray for Kelly and Joel as we're currently consulting/meeting with others and doing research for our new outreach project, Rhythms in Motion (RIM). Please continue to pray the Lord will lead us every step of the way.
• For Joel traveling (flying, then driving) to Rayong, (central) Thailand the first week of November to preach and meet with Thai colleagues about RIM.
• For Janaya to excel in her home schooling lessons.
• For Janaya, Kelly, and Joel to have good health. Joel (neck, shoulder, back pain) and Janaya (long-term) have had recent health issues.
• Pray in advance for our son, John's trip to Thailand, arriving on December 21st (leaving the USA on the 19th). He will be with us for a few weeks.
• Continue to pray for victory over current spiritual warfare and every obstacle we face. It is so important to have intercessory prayer in this area. Please pray for strength, Christ's love, peace, and joy in the Lord. Pray that we'll "be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might" (Eph. 6:10).
• Once again, the FYI reminder: We now have an "Intercede for Thailand" Facebook page (private group), located at https://www.facebook.com/groups/558335915595383: Please "like" and join us in interceding for Thailand. Updated weekly, you'll find more specific prayers for Thailand on this FB page.
