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...

Water problems
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...
Exciting news!
We are expecting to be able to welcome our first child into the world mid-March 2023! We are calling it Baby Peach (ลูกพีช) until birth. Pim is doing good although she is quite tired a lot of the time. She struggled with morning sickness for just over a month but that seems to now be...
Renovations, Worship Night and Flooding
Last month the church we go to (the one Pim works for as well) started renovating the building they are in.Much of this work is done by local contractors but some of it needs to be done by others with more experience in certain areas. So I spent a few days running and terminating cables...
New Laptops

Her family had planted a lot of strawberry plants under the assumption that there would be a lot of tourists coming through the area they could sell to. This was, in hindsight, a...
Summer 2021
This past summer was a difficult time for us, and it took me a while to be able to write about what happened. This summer my grandpa passed away as many of you already know. In the first few days of June, we started hearing from our family that Grandpa wasn’t doing well, so we...
Why am I in Thailand?
There are many reasons. But let’s start with how I got here. I moved to Thailand with my family when I was 10 years old because God called my parents to move to Thailand. So my 2 younger brothers and I had to move too. At first I did not understand why I had to...
The Wedding!
The wedding was very beautiful, though I couldn’t remember much of it after the fact. We had to watch the video recording to really help us remember. It all started with preparations of course, which we started doing about 2-3 months before by talking and figuring out what we wanted, where we wanted to do...
