TKT and Susan
For our dear friends TKT and Susan, as they walk through this breast cancer journey during troubled times. They have been so dedicated throughout many years of partnership and friendship together. Let us support and love them in prayer, encouragement, and practical helps as we are enabled to do so. Update May/June 2022: Thank you to all those who have given and prayed and encouraged! Susan has finished the prescribed radiation and chemo! Now there is a large number of tests and scans she is supposed to do. About USD $1000 is needed for these. We are hoping these scans will continue to show no cancer and that she is on her way to recovery. Update January 2022: Susan has had 6 rounds of chemo pre-operation, which seems to have gotten rid of the cancer cells entirely. They had originally anticipated doing a mastectomy, but due to the success of the chemo, they gave her the option of doing a lumpectomy, which is relatively rare in their context. God provided the opportunity to have the lumpectomy surgery, and the doctors were amazed by the biopsy result that showed no cancer in the tissue they removed. Since lumpectomies are fairly rare there, they did not include radiation therapy in the original estimate of the treatment. (Radiation is usually not needed if someone has a mastectomy.) So, now there is a bit of an additional need for funds, about $2,600, for the radiation. You are welcome to help with this need.

Ying: Serving God through Literacy
Hi, I'm Ying. Since 2009 I have been following the Lord's call on my life to serve Him more and more. In 2016 I helped with the Lanna (Nothern Thai) Bible translation project and the recording of the Lanna audio Bible. Now that that project is complete the Lord is calling me to work with the Lanna people to help them engage with His word in a meaningful way through reading. With your help I can teach Lanna literacy and help the Northern Thai people encounter God for themselves in a meaningful way. I'm hoping to add 30 financial supporters from the wider body of Christ to my team. Each one providing $50 USD / month will allow me to serve the Lord full time. Note: The default payment is monthly, and the organization I work with is based in Thailand, therefore the gifts are not tax deductible in the USA.
