As I mentioned in the previous post, we had no idea how our ministry would expand this year. But it is growing fast. Over the past months I’ve had many requests for help with various websites for a number of foundations and ministries. These requests ranged from building new websites, overhauling old ones, as well...

God is so good and faithful to the visions and dreams He places in our hearts! As this year started I really had no idea how we were going to expand the IT side of our ministry here.  But then March rolled around and I got a request from a foundation in Chiang Mai to...

My work at CRICS (the international school) has always been interesting and varied. Projects always popup that require my attention but they’re always something different. This past school year we came to the realization that as a school we produce quite a lot of e-waste, old electronics that we as a school can no longer...

So a few months back I wrote about a new network for BIFA. Well, they came back for part 2. Since the last post they have built a new building that also needed wifi as well as security cameras. This new building is made up of 3 stories, the first level will house a kitchen,...

Money, money, and more money. Everything in life costs money, which really sucks. Especially if you’re spending huge chunks of it on things that could be costing you a lot less if only you knew it was possible. One of my goals as I support missionaries, ministries, nonprofits, and the school is to find ways...

A lot of my work here in Thailand serving God and His people is about connections. Connections with missionaries and ministries but also connections with local companies. About 2 weeks ago I had the opportunity to attend a seminar hosted by a local IT company called Technocom and ASUS (computer manufacturer). Technocom has been one...

We all need water and most of us have it in abundance flowing right out of the tap. But what happens when that water turns muddy or stops flowing entirely? Well, that is exactly what happened at my parents’ ministry just before they left on furlough and while they were away. A few weeks ago...
