Hi, I'm John and I'm going to be in Thailand as a Serve Asia worker this summer. Welcome to my blog!
I'm going to be heading out to Thailand on the 1st of August for 4 weeks. I'll be staying with OMF missionaries Johnny and Ann McClean who work with Thai students in Nakhon Sawan.
Thank you for your prayers, John Goodwin

Preparing to go...
As I get ready to go I've got a few prayer requests... Please pray that the time away would be a great chance to experience day-to-day overseas missionary work, and that during my time with the McCleans I would be useful. Please pray for an evangelistic camp at the beginning of August, pray that this would be a wondeful time for the Thai students, and that they would learn more about Go...
