Legacy Letter March 2016

30 August 2017 – Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers, This is an emergency letter appealing for you to help us here at Legacy in Thailand and Myanmar. The Bible tells me: “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” (Matthew 7:7) So, I am asking, seeking, and knocking. Our donations have dramatically dropped over the past three months. Monthly donations have dropped to 40% of what we usually receive. I am not ashamed to say that we are really hurting. We have an office to run in Chiang Mai with employees, and we send funds to Myanmar on a monthly basis to conduct the ministry and sponsor student’s education in both high school and university. There is also food, clothing, and transportation expenses for them. A 60% drop in monthly donations is devastating. We cannot sustain the Work here on that. We were bare bones before.

25 January 2018 – Dear Brethren and Fellow Laborers, Over the winter break,SengAung, our pastor in Jawk Taing, Myanmar, and his family went to NaMawn in Kachinland. HtooGay, a Legacy grad (who is also finishing up his last year in high school), went along. There we have a small group of brethren of which some are also family to SengAung. It’s quite a long trip. Here is what Seng Pan wrote to me: “Thaungoo to Mandalay 8 hours, Mandalay to Kachin state Hopin town (18 hours by train), Hopin to NaMawn 1 hour by motorcycles. It takes two nights and two days long. We can go by bus too, more quick one and half day long but, more expensive.”

IN THIS LETTER: PROPHECY● CHINA, RUSSIA ● KING OF THE NORTH ● KING OF THE SOUTH – Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers, Prophecy marches on. The world continues on a toboggan slide toward selfdestruction, even if our interpretations about events in world news do not turn out the way we expect. For instance, we know from Daniel 11 that we are to look for a rising power from the geographic area of Egypt…

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.
