  • A Spiritual Birthday for Twelve Students

    Posted on May 1, 2012 by BrendaS in Uncategorized.

    April 28, 2012, was a special day for all of us, but especially for those being baptized. Thara Joh Koh (Harvey Steck) had spent at least 5 months preparing the candidates for baptism. Subjects like Bible prophecy, Bible doctrines and life style were all covered. He also explained what baptism is all about. Burying self […]

  • FAST delivery!

    Posted on April 17, 2012 by HarveyS in Uncategorized.

    It’s 2:45am, and I’m stuck in the house, missing out on the excitement, while Brenda, Sharon, and Hannah are outside with Gayle Haberkam, assisting Tharamu Ehdohsay after the fast delivery of her second baby–another girl. Tharamu Ehdohsay is the wife of Thara Ehganyaw, one of our Bible teachers and my right-hand translator. I’m told Ehdohsay’s […]

  • A Karen Wedding

    Posted on March 25, 2012 by BrendaS in Uncategorized.

    Every culture has their unique ways and customs, and the Karen are no exception. I would like you all to see what a Karen wedding is like. However, this wedding wasn’t quite the usual since it was the wedding of two Seventh-day Adventists–two of our current/past teachers. I hope you enjoy a glimpse of this […]

  • Imagine . . .

    Posted on February 28, 2012 by HarveyS in Uncategorized.

    A lot has been happening around here, and I haven’t had much of a chance to write and share. However, there are certain things most of us can hardly imagine being without–and one of those is a vehicle. (In fact, most families I know have at least two cars in the garage.) Please take a […]

  • Lumbering Down the River

    Posted on February 27, 2012 by BrendaS in Uncategorized.

    As the saying goes, “The grass is greener on the other side of the fence,”  here, “Teak logs are cheaper and more available to get on the other side of the Moei River (the border)” as it is illegal to cut down teak trees in Thailand, even if it is on your own property!  Anyway, […]

    So far the Lord’s blessings have not ceased! He is very gracious to us and we are thoroughly enjoying these new blessings. In the last month, the Lord has blessed us with a new water system where we can get all the clean water we want for drinking and cooking. Also the students are really […]

  • The Battle Rages

    Posted on February 5, 2012 by HannahS in Uncategorized.

    It’s not that I didn’t know it before, but it’s easy to forget when things are going pretty good–or so it seems. Our school is home to more than one hundred students that to this day profess to be Buddhists. It is also home to at least twenty baptized Seventh-day Adventists as well as a […]
