Mongolian Refrigerator


I can’t believe we made the Kim’s refrigerator. The caption on the family photo reads, “Thank you for your prayers, The Rice family”. On the other side of the world our family has been receiving the prayers of a Korean family, serving in Mongolia, even while we were sleeping. Wow! How beautiful is the body of Christ.

From Batam Indonesia



While attending the 2010 Food for the Hungry International Federation (FHIF) gathering in Batam, Indonesia, I was encouraged to hear an Executive Council member say, “Education is the key to sustaining food for the world’s hungry”.

Brian Cheng, President FHIF, Hong Kong (pictured), my friend and roommate @ the gathering and I began discussions regarding partnership with Literacy & Evangelism Intl. (LEI) to develop a basic reader/primer in the Akah language. This group includes over a half million speakers primarily in China and Myanmar. The Akah mountain people in China have pockets of literacy as low as 1%.
