About Zoe Int'l Ministries

When we return to Thailand in May, we will begin working with Zoe International Ministries. There, Candace will be primarily responsible for teaching Bible and theology courses at the two-year adult Bible school. Among other things, the school provides English classes—which is where I’ll spend a lot of my time. Candace will also help with teaching English. The school also offers many business and vocational courses, and music classes. Music and song-writing will be my responsibility at the school also. The Bible school has two classes with 24 students in each. Together, they are 48 enthusiastic and bright students who are eagerly training for a life that will help bring more believers to faith in the one true God.

Zoe also provides a loving home to over 50 orphans, needy children, and rescued children, and makes sure they receive education. Zoe has a rescue mission of children who are threatened with being victims of human trafficking. Many children in Thailand are sold, kidnapped, or deceived into leading a life of prostitution or begging. Candace and I both feel very drawn to that work also. We would appreciate your prayers for us and for the children as we enter this potentially dangerous work. Help Zoe International and us put an end to desperation and hopelessness in the lives of so many Thai children, and bring to them the simple joy of knowing the love of our Father.

We will send you our mailing address when we get a post office in our new neighborhood. Thank you so much for your love, prayers, and support. - Gavin
