Hello from Thailand.

In this New Year MSNT has a renewed focus and commitment to God’s plan in Thailand.

In the last nine months through research, trial and error, practice and even dumb luck, I have learned a lot about what works and what does not work in Thailand. Not every impulse can be considered God’s prompting but you still must keep your good ear out for His leading.

Many great projects have been completed with your support in 2011. We have helped renovate an abandoned property so a local Mien Church would have more opportunity to grow and flourish. We have sponsored many visits to Hill tribe villages to teach and reach the youth who would otherwise not be able to hear the Word of God.

Our mission statement is as follows: “To support and encourage salvation, education, and Mien cultural preservation in Thailand”. One thing that I hope we have made clear from the beginning is that our wish to “support and encourage” in regards to “Salvation and Education” is for everyone.
Where there is a need, we hope to be able to provide what is needed weather it is love, compassion, encouragement, and/or physical or financial assistance.

It is only in the “cultural preservation” aspect where we have made a commitment specifically to the Mien in Thailand. We will continue fulfilling our commitment to the Mien by passing on a portion of all our donations tohttp://www.mienradio.com/ (spreads God’s Word to South East Asia via Radio) and http://www.mcya.net/ (we hope to help MCYA in their efforts to send Mission teams to Thailand). If you feel lead to support either of these ministries please do so directly. I am just expressing my support for these ministries and will share a portion of our blessing with them.

This year as I hope to personally focus more on my own education (to help secure and maintain long term residence here in Thailand), we as an organization hope to also focus on providing education assistance to those who would not otherwise be able to afford a higher (or even basic) education. Education leads to opportunities. It is our wish that children can grow up knowing that their futures are wide open, not just inevitable.

The same goes with Salvation. If someone never hears the “Good News”, then their eternity is set.
We sincerely pray that the sharing of the news will give the option for what so many of us
take for granted. I am sure all of you had someone who first shared with you the Love of Christ. Imagine if that person or persons never crossed your path. Where would you be now?
How grateful are you for that first introduction to Christ?

As you recall how grateful you are for your Salvation and educational opportunities, please consider sharing with those who may never see the same. Please donate at MSNT.org
We no longer will be the old newsletter service. Future newsletters will be posted on the blog http://msnt.org/blog1/ and on my facebook page https://www.facebook.com/charles.msnt
I have enjoyed using the Benchmark service but after one year the cost per recipient is not a productive use of MSNT resources. Thank you to all those who have been receiving the newsletter and I hope you will continue to receive the information via the blog.
Thanks to all those who support MSNT.

This has been a wonderful first year on the ground. I hope to continue to follow God’s leading in Thailand for years to come.
Thanks again
God Bless
