They Call Her Ms. CRICS.

*|MC:SUBJECT|*

CRICS--Chiang Rai International Christian School.  Our kids attend this school and Chris has been teaching there for three years.  Because of it's homeschool roots, the teachers at CRICS are called Mr. or Ms. "first name." So for one of Chris' students, instead of Ms. Chris she is Ms. CRICS!

CRICS exists to reach Thai people through Christian education. The CRICS student body is about 30% Thai (most from Buddhist families). Recently I met a local business woman who is hoping to send her kids to the school. I asked her why, even though she is Buddhist, did she want to send her kids to a Christian school. She told me the reputation of CRICS is excellent, it is a safe place for students, and it is the best international school in Chiang Rai.

CRICS also exists for servant families ministering in church planting, community development, human trafficking, and other efforts. This school is an anchor for missionary families like ours, helping us to establish our family in our Thailand home and fulfill our calling.

My responsibilities with the internship require me to say in Iloilo until the internship is completed. I will be returning to the States March 23. We have never been apart as a family for so long. Honestly I am very much not looking forward to being away from my family. I am not looking at this as a "break" from my kids so I can finally do some "real ministry." I am willing to fulfill my responsibilities here in Iloilo, especially as it involves training future full-time missionaries. However, I am not at all looking forward to being apart from my most favorite people in the world. The reason why Chris needs to leave for the States at this time is beca...

Empowering the Next Generation

A big step in becoming a missionary with Go To Nations is the Timothy Internship Program . This is a 10 week boot camp that prepares you for full time missionary service in a foreign country.
