Dear Co-Laborers in Christ:

Greetings in the name that is above every name, the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Psalmist said in Psalm 35:9, “and my soul shall be joyful in the

Lord: it shall rejoice in his salvation.”

We praise the Lord for His goodness to us over the past few months. His love and grace have been our strength in the past weeks. He has proven Himself real to us over and over.

The church in the Maemon Village, in the northern part of Thailand has been growing steadily. It is now up to 45 precious people rejoicing in the ten souls that have recently trusted the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior. We ask that you continue to pray for Brother Nitipat as he preaches and teaches the members of Maemon Independent Baptist Church.

Brother Nitipat just finished a mini-camp for the children and two precious souls were saved. The children of Thailand are tender to the Word of God and eager to serve Him. We are thankful for a national pastor that has a heart for these children - children the world would love to destroy.

We ask that you please help us pray that we will soon raise the remaining $3,000 to build a church for the village of Ban Maemon. We are also praying about getting a Bible Study program together to help the young Christians learn as much of the Bible as they can. They have a hunger and desire to learn and serve.

Please continue to pray for our family. Holly has been in the hospital twice over the past two months and will return for another surgery on May 22nd. She had knee surgery late February and the surgery didn’t go as planned. We covet your prayers during this second operation.

We are rejoicing in the fact that our God, the Lord Jesus Christ is more than able to meet all of our needs and much more. Thank you again for all that you do to make the work in Thailand possible. There will come a day that you will meet the precious Thai people that you have had a part in bringing to the Lord. We look forward to that day! As always, we thank you for the support that you have provided, support that had a part in the 10 precious souls saved. God Bless each of you as only He can.

In His Service,

Mike Hazelton
