Hopeful Return to Thailand - Fran and Shirley Keck



To all prayer partners and supporters:

Please pray that Shirley and I can return to Thailand this year.

In September of 2006, I injured my back. This happened while trying to close down our business venture. Four years ago, we formed two LLC's for real estate investments. The purpose was to raise money through these investments to support the HIM ministry in Thailand.

About two years ago, the business begin to run us, not us run it. We began to sell out and continue today.

We feel deeply the need to return to Thailand on a regular basis. First, we need to encourage HIM Leader, Xeng, and Bangyat. We need to meet with the organizations which we have partnerships. We need to encourage the villagers that HIM Leader will not lose support and go home.

Please pray that we will soon we free from our business obligation and return to Thailand 2 to 3 times a year. God has BLESSED greatly in closing out about 60% of our business, but we still have some obligations that keep us here.

Again, please pray for us as we need to return to the Hmong in Northern Thailand. My back is much better, but it would be almost impossible to return at this time. Please pray that both these issues may be resolved soon. God is so awesome and has done so much for us.

The pictures are from a Global Impact Conference at Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church, Carrollton, GA. This church loves the Hmong and all lost souls around the world. They are very dear to HIM Ministry.

Francis D. Keck, HIM CEO/President
