Hello everyone!

We are a little family from Texas currently serving the Lord in Thailand!

We moved in January 2026 and have been working to learn the language, as well as helping with a children’s home outside of Chiang Rai.

New Vision for Life is a children’s home run by a Christian Thai lady, with 700 kids ages 2-18.

These kids come from parents that can no longer take care of their children, because of life sentences in prison, single moms, and refugees from the neighboring countries.

The kids live and go to school at the same location but there are only 9 full time staff working at the home.

We moved to Thailand with a small team sent from YWAM (youth with a mission) and our hope is to help with the practical needs at the home. A few of the needs include teaching English, painting, hygiene education, basic medical care, and endless cleaning projects.

Our long term vision is to be able to help disciple the older teenagers and teach them practical skills so when they leave the home they are equipped to live successfully on their own.

We would also love to focus on the youngest children at the home. There are several 2-3 year olds that need one on one care, that the home is not able to provide for them. As we build relationship within in the home, we would love to eventually take those young ones and have a separate home for them with more individual care.

We would appreciate your prayers as we learn to live in Thailand, love these children, and share the gospel with those around us!
