Legacy Letter December 2014

Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers, Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong met King Bhumibol Adulyadej the first time in 1971. At that time, the king told him about a new project to educate the ethnic hill tribes that inhabited the highland border region of northern Thailand. These hill tribes grew opium and sold it to Chinese middle-men as their only cash crop. The king wanted to teach them to grow other crops, such as peaches and vegetables, to replace the opium they grew. This would be more profitable for the hill tribes and much less destructive to the upland forests and humanity as a whole. The king also wanted to give their children an education but had very few trained teachers.

Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers, Organic gardening has been an integral part of the Legacy school curriculum since its beginning in May, 2002, fourteen years ago. Students not only learn Bible, computer, English, health, and other academic subjects, they must participate in growing vegetables and grain crops to help feed students and teachers at Legacy. The picture above shows Ian Stewart tilling the soil in preparation for sowing corn and beans. Why would we emphasize growing vegetables here at Legacy? The answer is simple…

Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers, The three annual pilgrimage feasts are times when God’s people gather before Him to worship and fellowship with one another. In Asia, it is particularly important that we gather because most here have few pastors and no regular Sabbath services to meet together.
