FBC Missions

Hi Everyone,

Sorry for the delay in posting anything new. We’ve had little access to the internet as we’ve been traveling like crazy; plane, truck, bus, and tuk-tuk.

The past two days we’ve been with Robert and his daughter Brooke. We traveled into the mountains to visit a few “hostels”. These are homes for Karen school children to live in while they attend school. The children are from small, distant villages that do not have schools. The first hostel we visited, Ti Kay Kee, was quite rustic. Most of the children were gone to a camp, but I made friends with the girls who were still there. They live in a bamboo dormatory of sorts, with a dried grass roof that leaks in the rainy season. They sleep on the floor with grass mats underneath and wool blankets on top. Grace, Brooke and I shared the same accomodations for a night. It got very cold that night and I could see the sweet little girls all huddled together for warmth. But they awoke with smiles and giggles, just like any other girls I know.

This place is amazing. The kids all know the Lord, and are cared for by a wonderfully gentle and generous couple who shepherd them. It is wonderful to see that they know the same God we do and it brings them joy.

I’m sorry to cut this short, but it’s time to get our stuff on a taxi and to the bus station.

I’ll continue this when I get a chance.

Thank you for being our prayer warriors. We are grateful for your faithfulness.

Please continue to pray for our health and strength as we begin yet another segment our journey.

Pray for saftey as we travel by bus, truck, and soon, by boat.

Pray God’s protection for us, but even more for the Karen.

And pray that we have the eye’s to see that which God is trying to show us.

Love from the Karen Project Team,

Elizabeth
