The Royal Family then journeyed upriver to Koh Kret in Nonthaburi to inspect riverside communities affected by last year’s floods…
Dear Brethren and Fellow Laborers, First, and foremost, we want to thank all of you for your continued love, unceasing prayers, and donations during this worldwide time of trouble. We are all in this together! We know that many are drawing closer and closer to our Father and His Son as these trials come upon the world.
