Dear Family and Friends
Time has flown by and Penny and I have already been back here in Chiang Rai for nearly two months. It has been so lovely to get back to life here and begin to feel much more settled.

Penny has really enjoyed reconnecting with the staff and children at BNJ. They continue to fill her heart with love and joy.

For quite a few years now I have had a growing desire to travel to Africa. I have not felt the time was right but continued to hold the desire with an open hand. My brother and his family work in Mozambique and I have been hearing of some incredible miracles happening there. I have also had a growing hunger to experience the Lord in more tangible ways. I want to see the hand of the Lord move in powerful ways here in Thailand and believe the supernatural will be a vital key to revival in this land.

Well, at the beginning of this year I felt the Lord encouraging me that this was the year to go! As I prayed I felt that August was the month to travel there. You would have thought I'd had enough travel already! I contacted my brother in Mozambique to see if there were any pastors conferences occurring during the month of August. He responded positively. I also asked if Penny and I could go there and attend this conference. The reply was positive once again. I felt the Lord had opened the door and so I began to walk through it.

At the same time I had a very unexpected provision in that our international economy travel was completely covered!

It was not long afterwards that I had heard that I was being invited to be one of the speakers for this conference and to also teach in some of the workshops as well. I have since found out that they are expecting several thousand people to attend! I will really be stepping into the deep here and would greatly appreciate your prayers as I prepare.

I do simply marvel at the way God leads and speaks!

The conference is at the beginning of August (10th-14th) and is being held in Beira. After this Penny and I will be travelling to Lichinga where my brother and his family work. We'll spend a week with them before beginning our journey homeward. What is lovely for Penny and I is that we have some dear friends travelling with us - Phil & Glenda Farlam from Adelaide and Owen Jenkins from Melbourne. It should be loads of fun being able to spend time with some of our very good friends.
