Words of Wisdom from Thailand during the Coronavirus Concerns….
We heard from David and Joy Speights, missionaries in Thailand, in March. Being so close to China, the coronavirus is big news in Thailand and many rumors quickly spread about school closings, potential quarantines, and travel restrictions. We will update further when we hear more about how the Speights are doing in Thailand during this time, but for now, they shared with us these words of wisdom:
“Recently a friend commented that it would be wonderful if the gospel spread around the globe as fast as these viruses and diseases seem to be spreading. Consider this. The media is going out of their way to spread the news about the coronavirus. But they are completely silent and unconcerned about the spread of the gospel. Actually, the gospel IS spreading faster than the coronavirus! God is doing great things all around the world that the media is unaware of and not reporting.
The news is full of danger and disease. People have much to fear. But far more serious than any physical disease is the tragedy of having never heard the gospel. We thank God for the continued opportunities to tell our neighbors and friends about the hope to be found in Jesus. Thank you for continuing to hold the ropes in prayer for the people of Thailand.”
