Hi Steve and Donna!
Just wanted to say thank you for sending Donna and Corinne!! WOW! Words could never express what a HUGE blessing they were here in Thailand. They integrated themselves with the team seamlessly. Their servant hearts and great love for the children and fellow teammates were awesome. Honestly, I was really surprised at fast they not only acclimated to being in a foreign land, but how quickly they adjusted to ministering with another church team. It was as if they had been meeting with the SFVHC team from the beginning...I couldn't tell the difference.
Steve, Donna --- thank you so much for sending 2 of your best!! We continually thank our Lord Jesus for HCC and the Kranz's for supporting us in SO MANY ways. We're excited and expectant to see what the Lord has in store!! (we're thinking, what if we had a WHOLE TEAM of Corinne's and Donna's!!).
Attached is a letter that Nancy and I wrote to HCC, SFVHC and WLA Holiness. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for sending us Donna and Corinne.
Dear Beloved

I wish words could describe the joy in our hearts at this moment… I wish you could see our tears… I wish you could know the depth to which we have been encouraged… I wish you could feel how proud we are because of your faith and love… THANK YOU for sending a piece of
yourselves to share in our joy and struggle here in 2 words that come to mind that could describe our team: POWER and DAMAGE. |

Satan was smart in trying to aggressively and
strategically sabotage the resolve of our team members prior to take-off . But oh…the
sweet POWER of prayer. They
walked behind enemy lines with courage, strength and love – completely covered
by the consistent and passionate prayers by their beloved church body. In 12 days, our team ministered to 5
different children’s homes and 2 hill tribe village locations. Almost 400 children were touched by the love
and compassion of Jesus through their words, their hands…their tears. Many came to know Jesus as their Lord and
Savior for the first time. Yes, the
current and future exponential DAMAGE they inflicted to Satan’s kingdom
here in
However, Nancy and I believe that the majority of DAMAGE that THIS TEAM will inflict is yet to come. The incredible work that the Lord did THROUGH this team is only rivaled by the AMAZING work the Lord has done IN the hearts of this team. WOW. We look forward with GREAT anticipation to what the Lord has in store for each one. With tears, Nancy and I can only give praise to our Lord Jesus in advance for what He has in store for our beloved home and sister churches – as a result for sending this team in faith.
Oh, the sweet power of prayer…
We miss you so much.
Still Amazed at His Grace,
Greg, Nancy & Baby Nathan
