UPDATE ON THE ROSS’:

1:37 AM here in Bangkok.

First of all I want to thank all of you for your emails, messages,
and calls expressing your concern for us and our team here in Thailand.

We are safe at the moment and have spent a lot of time over the past
24 hours exploring options and the main question has been “Go or Stay?”

Initially we had decided to stay in the city and to serve.

But after many conversations with Thai friends and those doing relief work we were told that
unless we had a boat there was not much to be done once the water arrives.

The opportunities will be plentiful when the water leaves the city.

So after many conversations and much prayer we have made the
tough decision to evacuate and head south in a few hours.

Why are we leaving?

We do not have sufficient water and food stored if the
water remains up to one month as expected.

One of our team members has two small children and we have decided
for their sake that it is better to be safe than sorry.

How can you pray?

Pray the Holy Spirit will empower believers to comfort and serve
those who have lost everything.

Pray for those who are able to serve in the relief efforts.

How can you get involved?

We have costs associate with booking last minute flights and hotels due to the
evacuation and are not sure how long we will be out of the city.

Relief & Rebuilding Effort: We have several families within our church community that have
been directly affected and our church facility is located in a “high risk” area.

Will keep you posted on how things are going and will also be sending out a 2011 update soon.

Thanks,
Daniel & Shannon Ross

The Cherrico Family

Steve and Jessi Cherrico live in Nashville, TN. Steve works for a National Organization call First Priority of America, which trains the local church in cities how to unite under the cause of seeing every student on every middle + high school campus reached with the love and message of Jesus Christ. This is done by helping Christian students understand their calling to be light on the school campus God has put them (i.e. campus missionaries). His office is run out of a local church in West Orange called TLCC where he helps that church build sustainable youth ministry. Jessi spends her day assisting Steve in ministry, while caring for their two boys Justus (5 1/2) and Nate (almost 3). They are honored to have been part of the original Slow Burn leadership team, and the Slow Burn families choice to cover them in prayer, and provide resources to help them as God leads.
