When I started writing this update the Covid-19 virus seemed to be isolated to a few countries. However, as the month progressed it was clear that the world was changing in ways many of us never expected.
This week, Thailand is headed into a month-long lockdown, the full details of which will be released by the Government tomorrow (Thursday, March 26). It is looking like most travel will be limited in hopes of slowing the spread of the virus, but essential services are expected to remain operational.
As a family, we have decided to stay here in Thailand. We haven’t made this decision lightly, but we have prayed and felt this is the right decision for us. In many ways, this is our home and we feel safe here. We have friends here and are supplied with what we need right now.
We have already been able to help those in need. Through the Future Foundation, we have been able to help supply food and essential supplies to those in quarantine.
We join with you, our brothers and sisters in Christ, in praying for the world as we head into unknown territory. We pray that your families are well and that your trust and faith will be strengthened.
As a final note, we wanted to share this video with you called “King of Creation” It helps us remember that God is truly in control and this pandemic did not take Him by surprise.
Grace and Peace
