They have helped out with local churches and taught English for evangelism in Chiangmai and in southern Thailand for one year (2021-22). The Home of Joy, started in 2014, was a girl’s home which they ran for needy teenage girl’s from the mountains. In 2021 they moved out of that home and are continuing to support girl’s education through sponsorship programs together with churches that they have served with. They desire to work together with the local churches to make sure these girls have both their physical and spiritual needs taken care of. In addition, Larry, Diane, and Christina teach English at their own English Center called Friendship English Center. They look for opportunities to work with their church and with other partners to bring the gospel into schools, to the families of their students, or sometimes to the needy on the streets. Their daughter Jenny is involved in teaching English as well and attends an International church Chiangmai. **For information on how to give, please go to Christar’s website by clicking on here:** [**https://christar.ca/give/**](https://christar.ca/give/) **and then select how you want to give.** **How to designate donations:** **Willems Ministry account: # 4909 (For our personal Family Support)** **Project account: # 4910 (Disciples for Eternity projects) -** for Projects such as discipleship training including evangelism and discipleship materials support for leaders, transportation for those in this ministry, helping the poor and needy.

Foster** In this landmark work, Foster examines the "streams of living water" –– the six dimensions of faith and practice that define Christian tradition. He lifts up the enduring character of each tradition and shows how a variety of practices, from individual study and retreat to disciplines of service and community, are all essential elements of growth and maturity. --- **Looking Ahead** **April 2026** - **Fri.
