We pray that this update finds you all well and on fire for God! As we were praying for all of our financial sponsors and for the people who pray for us, God gave me this scripture. Please read Philippians 4:10-20. We hope you find it as encouraging and uplifting as we do. We love you all very much and you are a great part in not only what God is doing in our lives, but what He is doing in Thailand and in every part of the world.
On September 27th, Nancy and Jessalin were driving the motorbike to the Victory tower when a car cut in front of them, causing Nancy and Jess to drive into the side of the car. They were wisely wearing helmets (as we all do, even Caleb). Jessalin only got a small bruise on her thigh, but Nancy was hurt more seriously. She received a broken nose (she went head first into the car), 5 stitches in her right knee, and other cuts and bruises. In the emergency department at the hospital, the doctor did an ultrasound and found that the baby is just fine. Praise God! The young woman driving the car paid for all medical expenses, repair of the motorbike, and repair of the Mac laptop that was in the backpack that Jessalin was wearing in the crash. The woman stayed with us at the hospital the whole time - about a half a day - and was very remorseful. Through an interpreter, Nancy was able to speak with this woman and forgive her. A Thai friend of ours was able to testify to this young woman about God's love and His protection. It was good! Nancy is healing very well.
We are more motivated now than ever to own a car big enough for seatbelts for all of us. Please continue to pray and believe with us that God will provide the finances needed to buy a decent vehicle.
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner with about 20 guests at our home. It was such a blessing to spend time with our fellow missionaries, Pastor Terry Purvis, and friends. We didn't find a turkey (until the day after the said event), but we enjoyed baked chicken, smoked ham, mashed potatoes, vegetable dishes, and of course pumpkin pie.
Love and God's abundant blessings to you all!

Hi Nancy, I am so glad that you and the baby are all right. That accident could have been much worse. Thanksgiving was great for us also. Abigail and I travelled to BC to visit my family for a week and enjoyed the fresh mountain air!! The zoo looks fun, I have always wanted to ride an elephant! God Bless, Michelle
