First Letter from Thailand

Dateline Aranyaphratet
March 14,2009

Hi Doreen, June and everyone!

Thanks for congratulating June for finishing her Master in Architecture in UP Diliman.
I'm sure the Lord has a plan for this, especially for helping the less fortunate in
the ASEAN Region - thru the construction of budget houses and likewise the use of inexpensive and indigenous materials for housing. June can be a Resource Speaker in the ASEAN DOMAIN missionary organizations and NGOs in house and hospital-clinic-daycare constructions.
June has been teaching Architecture for seven years now.
I'll send your letter of congratulations to her.
We just arrived at the Cambodian-Thai border from Angkor Wat. We saw their fields
unyielding not much due to the drought. The road from Angkor Wat to the Thai town of Aranyaphratet is still under construction. Hopefully, it will be over this year.
The Missions for Evangelism Revival thru Cooperation in the ASEAN DOmain
(MERCADO) Road will follow this route. I have contacts in Vietnam and Cambodia already. Please pray that withihn the next six days before we fly back to Manila, that the Lord will give us contacts in Thailand and Malaysia. I'm sure contacts in Singapore and Indonesia will follow. Then, the ROAD will traverse through the island of BORNEO where Brunei, parts of Indonesia and Malaysia (Sabah and Kuching) are located will also have contacts. Then from there, to the Philippines.
And so, the MERCADO ROAD will be a loop. This is the road for itinerant evangelists from the Philippines, Europe and the United States who will join our mission
in evangelism and discipleship in the ASEAN DOMAIN.
Best regards and continue praying for our safe trip.
How is Bolivia these days? Please keep me posted.


Your brother,
