It has been a good start to life here in Bangkok, and I want to thank you for your prayers. We have been meeting as a team throughout this week to talk about our vision and priorities for the year. The team was also asked to look at themselves and one another to identify giftings, etc. I think for some this has been really helpful and encouraging. We are beginning now to set up a plan for the year, putting in dates of trips to various locations and other outreach activities. I am very happy to report that it seems that Vietnam is going to be on our map this year!! Just a very initial explore, but we have learned that  a new road is opening up to Vietnam through Laos. Now that flying is not required (an expensive mode for getting many people mobilized), it looks more feasible. Not a very high priority, but at least on the chart.
