Ministry Highlights

Larry Dinkins

OMF Thailand

Prayer and Praise

• Praise that 700 of the 2000 Bible keyword card sets in Thai have been distributed
• Titus is in Malaysia planning to bring a donated helicopter into Thailand
• Lydia and her four children were in their van when it was totaled in a car wreck that was not their fault. Lydia sustained a contusion due to the seat belt. Praise that no one else was hurt. Do pray for Lydia's healing from both the wreck at the chemo treatments she has just completed. Pray also for the litigation that is necessary to recover doctors appointments, etc.
• From Tim Dinkins: She (Lydia) has a surgery scheduled in August, which will make sure that there are no margins of left over cancer near the original tumor. We are continuing to pray that all traces of the cancer would also be removed from the blood. We are praising God that the car accident was not worse and that everyone has been able to make good progress in recovering from it. 

• Pray for my final ministry here in SoCal with an opportunity to teach Bible memory and meet with supporters and prayer groups.
• I fly to Malaysia on July 30th for a week of teaching Walk Thru and my intensive orality class at the Malaysia Baptist Theological Seminary. After that I will return to Chiang Mai on August 11th.
• Concerning Burma:  We pray for the believers and churches of Myanmar, living through war, oppression, and deep uncertainty. As violence rages, displacing millions and shattering communities, we pray that the church remain steadfast—a source of hope, healing, and practical care to all who suffer. We ask for a future shaped not by power struggles, but by justice, reconciliation, and the quiet advance of God’s kingdom, even in the shadow of despair.
