A NOTE FROM RYAN…
Hello friends and family.
Last November, as I was praying, I got a sense that a word I should meditate on throughout the next year was “GO”. I talked with Anne, and we prayed for discernment of what “GO” meant for me. Through the first part of the year, I have explored many trips ranging from Peru, Vanuatu, Nepal, and many others. As we talked with family on the fourth of July, a medical mission trip to Thailand was brought to my attention. As I prayed on it, the doors kept opening, unlike all the other trips that I was and had been praying about. As I am a little slow to pick up on things, God made it abundantly clear that this is His will for me.
I will be traveling to Thailand January 14th-26, 2025. The trip is a medical mission trip in Mae Sot, Thailand which borders Myanmar. We will be bringing the hope and help through medical service in a clinic and in the villages surrounding Mae Sot. Being a Wilderness First Responder has prepared me to become an addition to the team of Doctors, Nurses, and volunteers. Because of the clinic location, most of the patients are from Myanmar.
Myanmar has been in civil unrest and conflict for many years. As recent as 2021, the conflict has increased and the division between the Myanmar army and the ethnic groups has grown. This has had widespread impacts on neighboring countries like Thailand, which has taken in many refugees. While in Thailand, we will be sharing the hope of Christ with the displaced refugees. Mae Sot is located directly on the border and is the first place where many people fleeing can escape the conflict.
I am very excited to be a part of this team. As I prepare for the trip, I need your prayers for safety and God to work in and through me, and I want to humbly ask you to consider supporting me financially. The cost of the trip is $3740. I am trying to raise $3000 before the October 1st deadline and the remaining $1000 by November 1st. Any amount would be great, but if you would be willing to contribute any amount, it would really help me to reach my goal!
I would love it if you would prayerfully consider joining my support team—either through prayer, financial support or both. All donations are tax-deductible and directions for financial contributions can be found below. Thank you for partnering with me and supporting me as I prepare for this adventure
Blessings, Ryan
