It is harvest time at Legacy school in Chiang Mai. The rice is ripe and ready. Professor Ong-Art, who runs an organic farm near our rice fields told us we need to harvest NOW because our rice is so heavy it will begin to break the stalks!
So, classes are cancelled and all the teachers and students have headed for the fields to bring in the harvest before the King’s Birthday holiday this Thursday, December 5.

Dear Fellow laborers, Here is the latest from Seng Pan, wife of our Pastor Trainee in Kyawk Taing, Myanmar. She was in the hospital for four days with a very high fever and low red blood count. She just wrote us and email…
I’m doing much better now, but do have to be more careful not to over tax myself. I get tired a little easier than before. My nurse also told me I’m more susceptible now to catching an infection or bug from others. So, I need to be careful about that too. Thank you all for your prayers on my behalf. Both Ann and I appreciate that very much. Please continue to pray for a return of strength so I can continue to serve the brethren and their needs here is southern Oregon and northern California. Thank you and bless you all. Warm regards, Herb Vierra
Fairly innocent looking fellow, wouldn’t you say? Well you are wrong! You are looking at the face of evil! Most of you already know about the creation of the Islamic Caliphate in northern Iraq and Syria. You have witnessed just how swiftly they are conquering towns and cities on their way to Damascus. The creation of this Caliphate is one of the most significant events in modern history because it will lead to the surrounding of Jerusalem by armies…
The death toll is over 120, mostly innocent concert-goers, including dead Americans. Some of the terrorists behind the bloody and cowardly attacks have been caught. Others are still loose and they are armed. These atrocities were done by ISIS, the Islamic Caliphate which is at war with Western civilization. French President Francois Hollande has declared a state of emergency and closed the borders. It appears the terrorists came into France among the thousands of refugees fleeing Syria. They were armed and financed by ISIS which has terror cells across Europe and even in the USA!
