Decisions, Expasion, Prayer

Our Thai partner said, "This seems to be how the Lord is directing." We are in the planning stages of moving a Thai Christian family into a village rebuilt after the tsunami with people interested in the gospel. One of the more interesting features of this village is that it is one of the few Sea Gypsy settlements on land, the Molken. With their move on land, and their new status as Thai citizens, the enculturation of the Molken children is well underway. Though they are discriminated against by the local Thais, and they do look different, the children are going to Thai schools, and they speak both languages. (Molken and Thai are not in related language families.) They don't want to be called "Chaaw Lee" or "People of the Sea" but they want to be called "Thai Mai" or "New Thai." The children are also on their way to becoming Theravada Buddhists, from a long history of Molken animism and traditions.
As for us, we are asking prayer for direction, to know whether this is the family, and this is the time and place. The doors are all open, there have been invitations, a house provided for minimal cost, and a willing family. How does one know God's will for sure? Sometimes, in situations like this, we just can't figure it out before we act. So we are groping our way along in faith, and watching for indications that we should press ahead or re-think things. Please pray our team would understand His will.
