Mr. Lebo and his wife have lived in this community for more than ten years. However, there is still an old mentality of life that persists in the village. For example, when Mr. Lebo and his wife had a tendency to be nomadic due to their way of thinking and lack of understanding of how to use local or natural resources.<\/p>\n<p>When Mr. Lebo and his wife had the opportunity to join the D4D training, they began to see the world in a new way. They began to think in ways pertaining to sustainability and started to use all of the natural resources that were always there but that they never made use of. Now, this family uses the land to grow crops. They now make a living off of the land and no longer have a nomadic mindset. Both of them began to change their attitudes to live sustainably and exemplify lives that honor God.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you all for your continued support and prayers for this project to expand the kingdom of God. Please pray for our team to have God&#8217;s wisdom to lead and make disciples in this community.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for your prayers and your support.<\/p>\n<p>From,<br \/>\nCharlee Kunakorn<br \/>\nExecutive Director, The Way Foundation<\/p>\n<table style=\"background-color: #c8ced6;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>EFM Thailand\u2019s fundraising status is currently at 82% based on the commitments for monthly\/yearly recurring giving that are needed for this ministry to be fully funded.
