Special request

Gai and Miaw called me from Payao Bible College, where they are finishing their first year, concerned about a couple that was being forced to drop out for lack of payment. They wondered if I could maybe do something to help.  They said they were going to ask around and collect what they could, but the total need, about $800, is far more than they could come up with. 

I am so proud of Gai and Miaw that I could bust.  School has been a difficult challenge for Gai, who never really studied hard all his life until now, but he has hung in there.  His first semester he was afraid he would fail a majority of his subjects, but he passed them all.

But what has made me most proud is the heart for others that we see developing in Gai and Miaw more and more.  This was not the first time they called out of concern for other students who were struggling--not financially, but with other needs such as a couple with marriage trouble.  

I suggested they get a photo, write some info in an email and send it to me, and I'd see what I could do.  This is not something that would benefit The Well directly, but helping Gai and Miaw help this couple would be a big encouragement for them as future leaders with The Well.  Again, the total need is about $800.  However I do not want the whole amount to come from the foreign sources--this is a good challenge for Gai, Miaw and their friends to sacrifice to help their brother and sister.  If you would like to help, just make a comment here and I'll tell you what to do from there.
