This year, your participation in the 13th annual Run for Relief (Saturday, April 9) will provide support to the Jungle School of Medicine – Kawthoolei (JSMK). Dr. John Shaw shared a malaria patient’s story with us, in pictures, to describe one of the ways our support has helped JSMK: “This is a patient I cared for last […]
Full Circle
It’s hard to believe our time here at the House of Blessing is almost over. It has been a week full of emotions ranging from intense heartbreak to overflowing love. It has filled me up and drained me, both at the same time. It really is hard to put into words what I have felt. […]
Heart Heavy and Humor
Heart heavy day… We went to our fifth prison today, the largest women’s prison in Thailand, with 6000 inmates. Nikki and Maureen shared their powerful testimonies; and the team as well as the inmates were deeply moved. There were over 300 inmates in the service; Kathryn lead the team in worship and the inmates knew the […]
Back from Thailand!
We have been back from Thailand and Burma for a little over a week. Re-entry is always an interesting phenomenon – jet lag, unpacking, laundry, and the realization that my normal life did not go on hold while I was away. And then there’s always the realization that I am not the same person that […]
As if joy itself made them speak….
As if joy itself made them speak. I felt a bit out of place walking into the Women’s Correctional facility in Bangkok. Beyond dealing with the typical third culture adjustments, it was further overwhelming to pass by hundreds of women dressed in the light blue and pink as they assembled Adidas shoeboxes and Banana […]

Out in the Jungle
Here’s my highlight: One of the highlights for me from the last few days was joining in the celebration and events surrounding the dedication of the Latongku Health Center. It was incredible to see the Lord bring things that were once far fetched visions to reality. Allan Eubank was called to the Talakone in the […]
Reflections from the Latongku Medical Clinic
As I tried to prepare for the medical aspects of this trip, I found it difficult to get a handle on reliable information on basic healthcare and health statistics in the Karen people along the Thai/Burmese border where we have been traveling. It quickly became evident in talking with the many different medical assets on […]

Meeting a Celebrity!
Our Thailand/Burma Vision Team continues their journey! In the last few days they have gone to visit the medical clinic in Latonku and met with Eilya, the co-founder of the Free Burma Rangers. They commented that it was, “like meeting a celebrity!”. All are well and they continue to seek the Holy Spirit’s guidance to […]
The journey continues!
It’s impossible to get anywhere on time! Although we are a fairly low-maintenance team, everywhere we go in this country we run into someone who knows Laurie or one of the other Eubanks and we are halted for a short time. Typically it is a divinely timed connection and needed information, supplies, transformation, encouragement or […]
