These first 2 months have flown by and recently we have been feeling like life has been a bit of a whirlwind.  We continue to lean on God for strength and wisdom in all that we do. Here’s our summary of what God has accomplished through ZOE Thailand in 2022 within ZOE’s anti-trafficking framework of Prevention,...Read More

We pray this finds you well. As many of you know, one of the biggest concerns on the Global stage is the Corona Virus and its continued spread. We have been healthy and well although we see the effects of the virus on Thailand’s economy and people. A few days ago, it was recommended by...Read More

At the end of January ZOE welcomed an amazing short term missionary team from the States. These brothers and sisters are so full...Read More

This was our first Christmas and New Year’s living abroad. It’s not like we haven’t vacationed outside of the U.S. during the holidays but it sure feels different when one celebrates from one’s newly appointed digs. As we mentioned last post, Thanksgiving is virtually non-existent in Thailand (with the exception of the U.S. expats) while...Read More
