On March 26, 2011, one of our 6th grade students Lita was left homeless with her mother, father and younger brother and grandmother. It appears that there was an electrical short – not unusual in Thai houses – the house was made of dry wood with lots and lots of stuff piled around that burned immediately. Some folks said the house was gone within less than 15 minutes. The house was consumed totally, along with the rice storage building – including about 100 bags of rice which would have been the family’s food supply until the next harvest in September or October. The Christian Mission has provided some emergency food and it looks as though Lita will move in with our girls temporarily. Our prayer is that this will be used as an opportunity by God to show his love through his people to provide additional support for the family. Immediate needs will be for food and clothing; future needs to assist in rebuilding the house if that is what they want to do.
Thank you for your prayers.
John and Maeo.
