Our church just celebrated 8 years! 8 years ago I had just got back from the Amazon Jungle and enrolled back into SDSU after a year leave of absence, wondering where God would send me next, with a sense of urgency to get back out to the mission field. I finished the school year with a new girlfriend, headed to Mongolia, and within a year was married and living in Chiang Mai with a baby on the way learning the Thai language. From there, we went to Bangkok, started a church, hosted teams, and adopted @wendymooch into our family. Pastor @brolins were our very first contacts in Bangkok. They reminded us of our pastors back home, and we saw them building a wonderful community of disciples. When we finally joined their team, it was like coming home. What a family, and what a miracle to celebrate 8 years of blessing our city. #faithfunfriends #sandystoriesnewsletter #sandystoriesblog

    Our Story

    God called Tawni to Thailand during a mountain top experience. Her training school had planted a church in Chiang Mai and was nearing the end of their trip. The team retreated to Doi Suthep's viewpoint for prayer over the city. As she gazed out over the lush Northern province, a voice began speaking to her heart, "Will you give your life for my people here?"

    These were our dating days.

    Meanwhile I was in Mongolia working with youth, teaching city kids about prayer, worship, and evangelism. God had given me the gift of evangelism, and regardless of language or hemisphere, God would put soft people in my path. While in Ulaanbaatar, for example, I was run down by a young man asking if I could tell him about Jesus. Mongolians aren't known for their hunger for God, but God is known for sending missionaries to hungry people, wherever they are.

    When Tawni told me she felt God was calling her to Thailand, it hardly surprised me. What has surprised me, however, is just about every step since we moved.

    Mike and Tawni now have three children, all of whom were born in Thailand. They attend Life Church in Bang Na and recently celebrated five years overseas.
