The Malone Family, who are in Thailand as Missionaries with Pioneers, are friends from our Canberra days. In fact I fondly remember the first time we met them in 1991. We entered their church as newbies and after the service they invited us to play tennis with them.
Recently Phil, Jenny and Matt visited from Thailand, while Tim, who had been visiting them from Australia for Christmas, also came across. They stayed with us for three days and we visited historical sites with them. The photo above shows us on a boat together on the Mekong river at Phnom Penh, where we went past a small Vietnamese Floating Village.
It is quite remarkable that on one side of the Mekong is this small village and on the other the bustling and large city of Phnom Penh with a skyline of large scale construction, flashy hotels, cafe's and the Royal Palace.It was such a blessing to share these few days with the Malones. Almost surreal to see people we know and love in an environment that we have never shared together before. You can find a link to the Malones own Blogsite on the bottom right of our site. They are very much an inspiration to us when we contemplate their growth in Christ and his working out his purposes through them. Please pray for their ministry in the slum area south of Bangkok.
