BIO

One year appointment

Based in Bangkok and working alongside Peter and Cavelle Dove, Dove in Mae Sot, Thailand we’ll work on four projects that focus primarily on the Burmese children that have crossed the border:

1. We’ll help install purified water systems at the schools. Clean water brings health and an ability to learn. Right now, the children drink dirty water that brings much sickness.

2. We’ll administrate a school resources program. The schools don’t have equipment and resources for the children and so through a loaner program, we’ll be able to help to share the resources that are coming into Mae Sot from donors and organizations.

3. We’ll help create life books that will give stateless children an identity. Hopefully the information recorded in these books will make it easier for them to one day receive national status.

4. We’ll connect with the local church – bringing Thai and Burmese people together in the name of Jesus and building up the body of Christ in Mae Sot.

5. Our children will play with the Burmese children and be a part of every aspect of our ministry.
