Please pray for Lemuu and the village that he is working in. This is the same village that we went to in December and the same village that I "helped" with a wedding ceremony. Tim, our secretary, talked to him last week and he said that the people in his village are really scared right now because some villagers went missing. Later, the bodies were found with all their organs removed. To my knowledge, 3 people have died this way. All the people that have gone missing were outing walking by themselves along the road.
Tawm said that this happens pretty regularly as there is a great demand for organs in China. Since Thailand is near China, traffickers often come here to get organs so they can sell them in China, even though the trafficking of organs is illegal. Tawm also said, the Karen hilltribe is know for walking through the jungle and along roads alone making them easy targets. Although this isn't an abnormal thing in Thailand, it is hitting close to home as it has been happening in a village that we have been trying to start a church.
Please pray for the village's protection and that Lemuu would have open doors to preach the gospel during this time.
As a note = we have no intentions of going to that village anytime soon. No need to worry!

Brent and Tawm,
I want you to know that we are praying! This is all the more reason that those people specifically need Jesus and we're praying for an open door.
God Bless
Adam and Rebecca
