IN THIS LETTER: Meaning of the Passover - Passover in Burma and Church House for Ministerial Servants - Passover in Thailand - Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers, Passover will soon be here. I hope all of us are examining ourselves according to the Apostle Paul’s instructions in 1 Corinthians 11:28. It is important that we are reconciled to, and our attitudes and spirits are right with, God and our fellow church members before we take the bread and wine.

Dear Friends and Fellow-laborers, It is time once again to wrap up the last of classes and head back home after another successful year at Legacy Foundation Leadership Training Center in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Each of these young volunteers have donated their time and even their own financial resources to come halfway around the world and serve young men and women looking to improve their lives and seek out the ways of the Almighty. Without the dedication and sacrifice of our volunteers, Legacy could not exist. We will miss them.

We had five graduates; Seng Aung, June Seng Pan, Kart Ta Yin, Atsadakon and Bancha. Seng Aung and June Seng Pan are a married couple from Kachinland. Atsadakon is a Lahu from Thailand and Kart Ta Yin and Bancha are from the Karen tribe in Thailand.
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
