Part 1

Happy New Year to you all!
We trust God has really blessed
you with this past Christmas
Season. For us it has been great
to spend our first Christmas as a
married couple together and also
to have the enjoyment of a white
Christmas too! God is so very
good and every day we see how
He has continued to bless our
lives.
Since we’ve been back in
Abbotsford, Reg has been
landscaping to keep food on the
table. Faa has been trying to keep
busy with cooking, baking and
whatever else she can find to do
during the day. It’s hard for her
because she is not allowed to
work right now because she is
not a Canadian citizen (yet).
Please pray that she will be able
to get a work permit. Faa is really
talented and God has really
blessed her with many gifts. She
would really love to work again.
Many of you celebrated with
us at our wedding this last
August. The weather was
amazing and it was a day we will
never forget for the rest of our
lives. God answered many
prayers that day, and one of them
was for the sunshine we had. Reg
remembers sweating so hard that
day, but Faa was just fine; it felt
just like home. If it had rained,
everyone would have been
soaked because we had no plan
B.
You may be wondering why
we are not yet back in Thailand.
When we arrived in Canada last
April, MBMSI encouraged us to
stay for two years instead of one
year, as we were anticipating.
The reason behind this was to
spend the first year concentrating
on building our marriage. In the
second year we would start again
with MBMSI, and head back to
Thailand as a missionary couple.
Last week we went in for
preliminary assessments for
MBMSI. If everything is a go,
we will be starting some more
training in the fall.
Back in Thailand, Faa’s father
has been battling cancer for the
past couple of years. He has gone
through about 6 rounds of
chemotherapy. It has been really
hard on his body, but his mind is
still very clear. Recently we
have been having dreams about
him, and we have felt that we
should visit him. We will be
leaving Canada on January 28th
and returning March 11th. We
really feel like God is telling us
that our dad’s time is short. We
want to use this trip to see our
dad come to know Christ as his
personal Savior. We are asking
you to join us in praying for his
physical health and most
importantly his spiritual health.
He has become much more open
to the gospel over the last year.
God is so important to us and we
so much want to see Dad come to
Christ.
We would also like to ask you
to pray for Faa’s Mom, older
sister, younger brother and
nephew. Each one of them is in
some way going through some
very hard times in their lives.
They all are Buddhist, but we
know God can change their
hearts. We realize that it’s not
because of us that they will come
to know Christ, but that it’s only
through the Holy Spirit working
in their hearts.
We are excited to see what
amazing things God will do in
the time we are there. We really
believe God is not finished with
our family. We thank you in
advance for your prayers.
In his hands,
Reg and Faa Wall
“Fear not, for I have redeemed
you; I have called you by your
name; you are Mine.”
(Isaiah 43:1)
