Pray for my November Trip to Thailand<\/a><\/h2>\n

Pray for uneventful travel.<\/strong> My trip there and back involves about 24 hours in airports and planes (in economy). I\u2019ll also be heading halfway across northern Thailand \u2013 and back \u2013 by bus, and taking a few dozen trips by taxi, song tao\u00a0<\/a> and tuk-tuk<\/a>. Pray also that if my plans are interrupted, I\u2019ll be alert to any God-ordained interruptions.<\/p>\n

Pray that I am able to get some good, useful photos<\/strong> during my time in Chiang Mai prior to the international meeting. With NTM exploring more urban options, as people groups are increasingly found in urban settings, such photos could be helpful in illustrating our work. Pray that I have patience in working toward the best framing and the best lighting for each shot. Pray that these photos encourage people to get involved in the work God is doing among unreached people.<\/p>\n

Pray that the international meeting is encouraging and helpful<\/strong> for all involved. We\u2019re bringing more than 160 people together from all across the globe for this. Pray that I can get a good handle on where things are going internationally; that I am articulate if I am asked for input; and that I can clearly convey what I learn to the rest of our team here. Pray that what I learn makes us more effective in helping people get involved in establishing a thriving church for every people.<\/p>\n

Pray that my time among the Prai people is a blessing<\/strong><\/a> to the missionaries and believers there. Pray that the interviews with Prai believers are productive; that they are talkative and clear. Pray that I am able to get good photos to illustrate a future article on the work. Pray that I am able to find the story that wraps all the facts into a clear and compelling package for readers. Pray for patience and clarity of thought while taking photos here as well. Pray that God will use what I write and the photos I take to draw people into His goal of making disciples of all nations.<\/p>\n

Although NTM pays the bulk of my costs each time I travel for the mission, I am still finding myself spending about $1,000 on each overseas trip. That was true of my trip to Africa last spring, and true for this trip.<\/p>\n

That includes big-ticket items like travel immunizations (I needed a lot of those for Africa) and a camera lens (I need one for Thailand), and smaller stuff like notebooks, and bottled water and coffee while traveling.<\/p>\n

A gift of any amount would be helpful. Here are some specific items needed for the Thailand trip, and their costs, in case you would find that helpful:<\/p>\n
