Legacy Letter February 2011

JUNE-JULY 2019 – Dear Brethren and Fellow Laborers, As brethren, we talk much to each other and know perfectly well that many of us have had, are going through, or will go through trials. No trials are exactly the same from person to person, but we do grow in empathy for each part of the Body of Christ that is suffering.

IN THIS LETTER: Pentecost in Myanmar ● New Teachers at Legacy ● The “Denny Tractor” ● Surachai and MoPalel – Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers, Gloria and I recently returned from a trip to Myanmar (Burma) for Pentecost. It continues to amaze me just how much modern development is taking place in this backwater country. It is as if they have suddenly awakened from the Dark Ages.

Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers, Friday, December 5th, was the 87th birth anniversary of King Bhumibol Adulyadej, King of Thailand. In Thailand, December 5th is also celebrated as national Father’s Day. King Bhumibol has the distinction of being the longest reigning monarch in the world today, having ascended the throne on June 9, 1946. Queen Elizabeth II of England is the second longest reigning monarch.

21 February 2017, Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers, “TRIP TO BURMA” Gloria and I have returned from Myanmar (Burma) and have great things to report. First of all, I would like to relay that the Church of God is continuing to better organize in Burma. Burma has been a backwater for the Church of God for many years; indeed, it has been an adjunct to Australia and continues to be for some COG organizations. Part of the problem has been a lack of trained leadership for the fledgling churches that have sprung up over the years in many parts of Burma.
