Hello Hello! Sorry it has taken us so long to post another blog. We hope everyone is doing well.

Pastor Ninja Steve has been faithfully doing bible listening groups with the families in Forgotten Land, and has been receiving good responses from them. I sat in on this one, even though I can't understand anything, but it is cool to just watch the people listen. The audio bible proclaimers really open doors. We have also been doing these listening groups with the older children at the Forgotten house.


We talked about the fish farms in the previous blog, but I want to tell about what has happened since then. The land owner whom we rent our land from has 6 vacant fish farms in which he is now generously letting us use for FREE to do whatever we want with them. Long story short we will have the ability to raise over 7,000 fish at a time. Whatever the people don't eat, we can sell to provide income for Forgotten. This so cool! We are going to start with 1 fish farm and about 1,000 fish and see how it goes first and once we have it completely figured out and working, then we will fire up the other fish farms. This is going to be an amazing part of Forgotten sustainability for the people.

Below is a picture of the bathroom at Forgotten house. Typical Thai toilet. I'm sure with some imagination you can figure out how this thing works! (notice no toilet paper....but there is a bucket of water) (we brought toilet paper)

The man with half a leg is one of the Karen men who will be living on the 25 acres provided us by the land owner, Sak. This man lost his leg to a land mine in Burma while taking his family through the jungle to flee from being attacked by the Burmese army. He and his wife currently hunt in the jungles in Thailand for food or bamboo to sell. He and his wife will be given land to farm and will be part of the fish farm project. They also take care of their grandchild since the parents died in the jungle of Malaria. If you are feeling like you have had a rough day.....think again and thank God for everything he has provided you!

The picture of the 4 concrete bins, is one of the fish farms we will be using.

The picture of the jungle is the 25 acres the land owner, Sak, is letting us farm and use. It is very close to the river and the main road going to town.

The picture of us trucking it through the jungle with guitars and pots of steaming hot noodles is when we went to visit the new Karen family living by the river. This was 20 minute hike on a very small, very slippery trail! These people are in the process of moving closer to the road and away from the river. The Burmese army has been coming across the river and messing with them recently. Once they are closer to the road and on our land, they will be safe.

The picture of the kids on the bamboo mat is kindergarten. Maam runs the kindergarten for us and works with all the kids. She does songs, education, games, bible stories and lessons, and more. She is wonderful with the kids and does allot for Forgotten.

Well that is all for now. Thanks for all your prayers and love! We miss you all and look forward to being home soon. Blessings!
