Kumrod Family in Thailand

Our family is excited to announce that God has led us to partner with Multiply, the mission sending agency of the Mennonite Brethren Church in North America, as we continue to serve at TLC (The Life Center) Church in Chonburi, Thailand. We have been serving at TLC since 2015 and as God has navigated TLC through several transitions, our church family now meets in our home in Manikheow Neighborhood in Chonburi. Our hearts are to share Jesus' love with our neighbors, introduce them to Jesus and to welcome them into the family of God and the life of the church. We are sharing God's love with our neighbors through teaching English, playing soccer in the street in front of our home, eating meals together, baking together and inviting our friends and neighbors to join our church family on Sunday mornings in our home as we worship and fellowship together. We are also discipling emerging leaders who are discipling others. We thank God that two new believers are preparing for baptism! Please pray for Stamp and Maprang as they trust Jesus in these steps of obedience and faithfulness to Jesus.

We are praying for teams from our TLC church family to re-start ministries (as covid restrictions are letting up some) at Thaa Rua Plee Friendship Center in Northern Chonburi, discipling youth through worship singing and Bible study and at Choke Dee Neighborhood through a Kids Club.

In the above picture, with Stamp and Chompoo (TLC intern), Tew joined us for the first time during our Sunday morning worship gathering on June 12 with her two sons, Toomtaam and Tata. Their dad was working that morning. I still remember meeting Tew in our neighborhood park about 3 years ago and since then we have been sharing life together, eating together and our boys have become good friends playing soccer together. Praise God on Sunday, June 26, Tong, the husband/dad also joined our TLC worship gathering for the first time and it was beautiful to see God answering our prayers for this whole family to be welcomed into the life of our church and therefore have increased opportunities to learn about Jesus. We are praying for this family and excited for them to get to know more about Jesus! Please pray for good soil in their hearts as they learn about Jesus and wisdom, courage and joy for us as we continue to share the good news! We pray they may experience Jesus' love and provision in holistic ways.

We thank God for the increased holistic support, accountability, coaching and encouragement we are being blessed with so far through our new partnership with Multiply. We thank God for those who are already a part of our team through prayer, relational and financial support and we are trusting God for more partners! For those who support us monthly through Friends of the Great Commission currently, we invite you to continue that support until God has provided enough new partners to transition all our support over to Multiply.

We are trusting God to create a Missionary Advocacy Team (MAT) who is relationally connected with us and has a sincere desire to see that we are supported while serving in global mission in the areas of communications, prayer, family/education, and partnership development. We are grateful for the blessing for our whole family to receive international health insurance through Multiply and are trusting God for his provision for the increased budget that this requires. If you'd like to join our team through being a part of our MAT, please let me know or through financial support you can click here to support us through Multiply. https://multiply.net/global-worker/wanchai-ozz-and-sara-fast-kumrod. Our project number at Multiply is C0830 and we will soon have prayer cards available to share. Please respond with your mailing address if you'd like one.

Trusting Jesus,

Ozz, Sara, Elijah, Ezekiel, Ezra and Elisha
