We have arrived in the States and are looking forward to sharing the exciting things that God is doing in Thailand.
It is hard to believe that more than six years ago our family read a quote that said,
“If families would locate in the dark places of the earth, places where the people are enshrouded in spiritual gloom, and let the light of Christ’s life shine out through them, a great work might be accomplished.” AH 488
Challenged by this quote, we decided to find out what “great work” could be accomplished if our family made the move.
With $900.00 and one way tickets, the we left our home in Idaho and moved to Thailand to see if God’s promises can be trusted.
At the Chiang Mai International Airport, the hotel shuttle driver was our sole welcoming committee. We were jobless, homeless, and way out of our comfort zone.
God had our full attention.
“Our extreme experiment taught us that when we follow Biblical principles like seeking first the Kingdom of God, and considering the poor, the widow and the fatherless, God is faithful to take care of the details.”
“Little did we know that our one year “faith experiment” in 2010 would still be growing today.”
Our ten day Youth Camp at Mae Lah Noi village last month was a success.
Today Leading to the Light partners with local workers in Thailand and Myanmar.
Together we:
• Protect orphans and children at risk from human trafficking
• Provide safe clean dormitories, Christian schools, and student sponsorship programs.
• Give hope to impoverished families though education and community service.
• Supply teachers in remote villages with the tools they need to inspire the next generation.
Neither Leading to the Light nor the Rawlings family are financially compensated by the Education Opportunity Foundation.
They continue to exist solely on the generous contributions of people just like you.
Your financial support is invaluable in maintaining these worthwhile projects and is truly appreciated.
The Rawlings are still living by faith and know that God IS faithful and His promises can be trusted.
We will be in the States until mid October.
Please contact us if you would like to invite our family to speak to your church or home group.
