Tunes For Thailand Take Two

Howdy everybody,
Matty Matt is putting together the fundraiser that i was mentioning earlier in the blog. Well here are some of the details.

You're personally invite you all to the Tunes For Thailand Coffee Shop, Christmas Edition, this Friday Dec 17, from 6-9pm at the church building. Desserts will be provided, along with hot beverages (sponsored and provided by Port City Java). There will be live Christmas music from some of your favorite musicians... Erica & Sam Straka, Lucas Cannon, Tyler Broyles, Garrett Huffman, Steve Hunnicutt, Glen Titus, Doc Reed, Donnie Cannon... and guests, Scott Hennis and the Crosswinds Praise Band.

The purpose of this event is to raise funds for Ezekiel Fish and The Goodnews Mission in Maesot, Thailand. Over the last month, the city of Maesot (population 100,000) has been flooded with close to 30,000 Burmese refugees. (Could you imagine if our city of Wilmington took on 30,000 people, forced out of their homes?) God is going to do Amazing things through Ezekiel and the mission to help the refugees! Let's rally behind them with prayer and financial support. I understand the "timing" might not be the greatest for giving... We, as a church and individual Christians, are supporting local efforts for those who have needs, we have also just recently supported Team Haiti in a huge way, and Christmas brings extra spending... and now Mr Matt is asking for money for Thailand. Please search your hearts, and remember to "Give Until It Feels Good".

I've copied and pasted the most recent note I received from Ezekiel (just days ago). The money we raise will go to the list of items he mentions.


The rebel and Burmese government troops along Thai-Burma border are still fighting every other days. Civilians from Burma side rush into Thai land every day. Just yesterday morning, there are six hundred refugee acrossed from Burma to Thailand. Most refugee are women, older age people and children. The refugees needs shelters, foods, kitchen materials, blankets, waters, baby milk powders and medicines. Please keep them in your prayers. There are Christians among the refugees.
Thank you for your finance support, you prayers and your Christian Love. We do need your prayers and finance support to build up the kingdom of God. Through your assistance, finance support and prayers, we won many souls for our Jesus our Lord.
Your Brother in Christ,
Ezekiel and Ah-Cha Fish.
