Legacy Letter December 2013

Hello Friends and Fellow-Laborers, -PASSOVER AND UNLEAVENED BREAD- It is that time of year again with Passover just around the corner. It seems to my family here in Thailand that we have been under constant attack by Satan. We have all had bouts with the flu—and not just any flu, but a particularly bad strain that seems to stay with you for a long time. One after the other (each of our grandchildren, our son, his wife, Utaiwan Han, Gloria, and me), we have fallen ill with fever, coughing, and sinus infections. I came down with pneumonia and was in the hospital for five days. I am back home now and trying to regain my strength, so I have no problems when we go to Myanmar (Burma) for the spring holy days…

I thought it might interest you to find out more about our students who are now studying at the Legacy Foundation Leadership Training Center. In Thailand, we are known as the Legacy Foundation instead of Legacy Institute. In 2002, the Thailand Ministry of Culture officially chartered us as a charitable foundation and empowered us to provide education to young people in Thailand and surrounding countries.

Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers,
We recently returned from a whirlwind tour of the U.S. Gloria and I were in Arizona, Texas, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and California. I have yet to catch my breath. I am getting older and trips like these are getting tougher. Thankfully, I have Gloria to help me, and so many of you were very kind in trying to help make the trip more comfortable. Gloria and I attended the wedding and university graduation of our grandson,..

Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers,
The conflict over Jerusalem that culminates with the return of King Jesus is now heating up in the Middle East. Both Israeli and U.S. intelligence operatives have evidence that Iran is very, very close to having a weapons grade nuclear warhead that can be used against Israel. The U.S. believes it can “negotiate” with the mullahs in Iran. They also claim that economic sanctions will bring Iran into line. Recent history shows both those ideas are patently naive. Iran knows the U.S. is too weak to act, and the U.N. is a do-nothing organization. Former U.N. Secretary-General and now UN-Arab League envoy to Syria, Kofi Annan recently washed his hands of trying to bring some kind of resolution to the civil war in Syria2. The U.N. has become nothing more than an international sounding board for enemy nations to air their grievances against the United States and Israel.
