Introducing Thomas and a Thank-You

More and more we've made the shift to reading books electronically.  It means less weight to carry as we travel.  When an electronic version isn't available we'll buy a hardcopy.  Six months ago that happened.  The book was entitled, Strategic Planning for Christian Organizations …Turning the Power of Vision Into Effective Ministry.

As is the case when reading most books this one ended up marked with comments, notes, and underlined segments.  Doing this helps us reflect on the book's contents and make personal connections to the author's words.

After presenting Strategic Planning to leaders in Myanmar a few months ago one of the participants, Thomas pointed out the connections he made.  He saw how what he had learned about Strategic Planning applied to and would greatly benefit the International Child Care Ministry (ICCM) he leads in the country.   Don apologetically offered his marked up copy of the book to encourage Thomas in his pursuit of leading strategically.  The offer was enthusiastically welcomed with an expression of appreciation for having Don's comments and marked up copy.

We wanted to introduce you to Thomas because your support and partnership with us in October reminds us of your far-reaching impact including church leaders as well as para-church ministries like Thomas' with ICCM.  Your support of us is making a tremendous difference in the lives of children and young adult ministries like ICCM through leaders who were recently trained in Myanmar.
Thank you for your support in October of us and of leaders like Thomas.  Your gift is making a difference in the lives of others.

Sincerely,
Don and Kathy
Your Missionaries to Asia
