Elder Shafer visits with the children after worship.
Upon our return from Bangkok, Elder C. Dwayne Shafer and I were blessed with an opportunity to travel to Stoung to worship with Brother Hen Candara and the children of the Pure Religion Orphanage. I was thankful that Elder Shafer was able to join me for this service and appreciated the message that he brought from the experience of Jonah. The children enjoyed meeting him and rejoiced in his testimony of God’s grace and mercy.
Elder Shafer with the Children of PRM Orphanage
During the week that he spent with us in Siem Reap, Elder Shafer was unable to be out of the house much at all due to the extreme back pain that he suffers from. I am thankful for his willingness to travel this far to be with us during our trial with Beth and for the opportunity to introduce him to our ministry and some of the people whom God has made so dear to our hearts. Please pray for Elder Shafer as he continues to deal with the many challenges that his disability presents in his life.
In love,
Joseph Weyel
