Ps Alice and Ps
Faustina moved into the center in Rangsit on 6 March.
Rangsit Anglican Outreach Centre, is a two storey detached
house located in close proximity to the Rangsit University
and the Thamasat (Rangsit campus) University. The house has
been used as a house church in the past and very little
renovation is needed to use it as a center. The ground floor
is a large air-conditioned hall that can sit 120 people and
has both a dry kitchen and a wet kitchen. The first floor
has four sizable rooms. One of the rooms will be used as
accommodation and one will be furnished to be used as an
office. Ps Alice has completed the first module of her
language studies and is now in the midst of her second
module. Pray for her as she has to travel daily from Rangsit
to the city center to do her studies. |

With the move of the two
missionaries to Rangsit, the Supalai Apartment is now vacant. Pray
that the Lord will give us a good tenant for the unit. The rental of
the unit is committed to defray the expenses of the work in
Thailand. We have purchased a second hand Toyota Avanza for the
ministry in Thailand. A team of intercessors from the Diocese of
Sabah is preparing to visit the center from 25-30 April. They will
walk the land and seek the Lord for direction and leading to start
the work. |
