Hello Dear and Beloved Brethren,
We hope you all had a wonderful Feast of Tabernacles, as we did here in Chiang Mai and Burma. We were 20 here in Chiang Mai and more than 50 in Burma. We did Google Meet with Burma on the High Days and the Sabbath in between. I (Gloria) was the FOT coordinator and helped with all the details. The brethren in Burma are doing well, even in the Jade Mine area where things were terrible. Thanks be to our great God of mercy and love for His protection!
We were blessed to have a special guest speaker and friend from many years ago. Mr. Don Duchene gave the Opening Night, one sermon during FOT, and one on the Last Great Day, with a short message on the blessing of little children. A new baby named Esther, born a week before the Feast, was blessed by Mr. Leon and Mr. Don. She is also a miracle! Since her heart was too small. Leon anointed her—and NO MORE SMALL HEART! We also had a baby blessed in Burma by pastor Seng Aung.
We would like to do the FOT in Chiang Mai with more people, as we did so many years ago. We are coming up with a plan. Some have talked about a teachers’ reunion. Flights are so expensive, but the hotel is reasonable for Westerners. Please pray for this. Brethren from nearby countries are also hopeful and have wanted to come.
I have recieved e-mails from dear friends trying to contact me. Many of us, myself included, are pressed on every side. How are all of you, our brethren? We must keep praying for each other! I am unable to get out a Legacy letter any longer. My last letter was in December, 2024—YET YOU, OUR PRECIOUS BRETHREN, THANKFULLY KEEP SUPPORTING US! It is a miracle!!! We/I need help! God knows I cannot keep up the pace I’ve been doing for so long; but we know God will provide!
Leon is still speaking powerfully and, after asking questions to the brethren, also expounds. He no longer writes his own sermons. We do go through everything together! We are most grateful for the continued help we receive from Mr. David Dobson and Mr. Vince Szymkowiak.
Seng Pan (in Burma) and I review sermons. Sometimes the AI or Google translations are not clear in Burmese or English. Then there is the accounting and mail that needs answering. I want to post more. I start to write, but then something comes up. For example, our friend Utai fell in her bathroom and was black, blue, and swollen from eyebrow to the middle of her chest and collar bone. Thanks be to God the CT scan showed no broken bones. She healed quickly and was strong during the Feast, though she still had lingering pain for some time after.
We keep the supremely great expected hope etched in our hearts until we see our Lord and Savior at the trumpet blast, in the clouds, and shining like the sun! God is making each of us ready for that day! HOLD FAST!
In the name of Christ Jesus, the Savior of the world, according to HIS PLAN,
Leon and Gloria Sexton
