Free Burma Rangers and Last Day at TAMKO

Gonzalez Family in Thailand Vol. 1, No. 3

"Well you have one life and you might as well go for it cause what are you going to hold on to?"

- David Eubank, Free Burma Rangers

Next Monday and Tuesday (February 24 and 25), select theaters throughout the country will be showing the documentary Free Burma Rangers...

Based on the many reviews I have read, this seems like an incredibly inspiring story about what God can do when a family has been called and is willing to fully commit to serving the "least of these." I am excited to check out this movie and I hope many of you will consider watching it as well.

Today is my last day at TAMKO. Words cannot express how grateful I am to have spent the last 9 years of my life working for such a great company. I will always look back on this season of my life with fondness and joy.

At the end of this update I am posting another short video that should remind each of us that no matter where God has us, we are are called to pursue him with all our might and love others as ourselves. Everyone who serves King Jesus plays a uniquely important role and we should never forget that every time we touch someone else's life we have an opportunity to show them the love of God. I have been called to lead and care for people at TAMKO for the last 9 years and I hope I have done that well, because the love and care I have received from my colleagues has been more than I could have ever hoped for or imagined would be possible. Perhaps one of the things harder than finding a good company is leaving it. While we are thankful for and completely sure of God's calling to Thailand, we will miss being part of the TAMKO family.

Specific Prayer Requests

• We are in the process of beginning to sell most of our possessions. We are praying that this be a positive experience that helps Sara, the children and I continue to lean into our trust in the Lord.

• My pastor and I are preparing for a short recon trip to Thailand. Please pray for safety and clear discernment as we seek to get things ready for the beginning of our work with the Lanna Theological Center.

• 104 days until launch

"And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him."
