    “My personal Covid-19 story starts in February 2020, just  before the pandemic exploded. I could never have imagined at that time that I would be writing this from Bangkok so many months later. It is now day 2 of our family’s 15-day mandatory quarantine on returning to Thailand after 8 months away.   In early February, […]

    Forever Changed

    Forever Changed

      “In 2005 our lives were forever changed when we met the first Karen who arrived at our church in Australia.  The Karen community grew rapidly and as we reached out to help them; we were blessed by being part of their lives.  We made our first of many trips to the Thai Burma border in […]

      Connected & Hopeful

        “Uncertain times in our home are not new but practice has not made it any easier. Like an unmarked hairpin turn, September 2020 finds me in a different place than I planned.  An 8 week visit to the US as a family ended in August with no viable way to travel back to Asia and […]

          Moon and Stars

            January nights in the high jungles of Burma are cold.  Not the kind of cold that kills quickly, but the kind that slowly numbs as the blood flees limbs and stiffness seeps  into muscle and joint.  In this season, even sleep turns traitorous. Those who don’t have blankets get up in the middle of the […]

              Sharing is Caring

My time in Thailand has been interesting and life changing for me.  I was born and raised in a Christian family in a Muslim country, Pakistan. Fortunately, I was introduced to the faith at a very early age. […]

                Three Karen Vignettes

                  Over and over before coming to work at Earth Mission Asia I heard about how wonderful the Karen people are.  Having never met a Karen person I just took it in and nodded my head.
