Claire Love Chan
Our family welcomed our newest addition, Claire Love Chan, at 7:44 pm last night (5/30/11) weighing in at 7 lbs. 8 oz. and 19 inches long. Lisa and baby are doing great!
keep praying for our brothers and sisters in Iran! →
Our baby should be born any day now. Pray for Lisa. I love her so much. Sometimes I get so caught up in my “mission” that I forget about the pressures placed on her. Not easy being a mother of four and moving to a new place while carrying a baby in your belly!
Crazy and wonderful times for the Chan family.

Do Not Forget Them
I woke up today at 3am, burdened for our brothers and sisters imprisoned in Iran. Please continue praying for them. If you go to www.elam.com, there are good thoughts on what to pray. Let’s pray for them the way we would want others to pray for us if the tables were turned.
God’s Prompting
I don’t know how to explain it, but I believe strongly that...
“Oh God, you are my God; earnestly, I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh...”
– Psalm 63:1
Deserving Attention (Part 2)
(Post from March 14, 2011)
Our friends in Iran are still in prison, so please keep praying for them… Some have been released but others are still suffering. Much of their time is spent in solitary confinement. Please Pray. Here’s a link to read more:

As far as my life, things continue to go supernaturally well. God has been showing me His grace and love...
Deserving Attention
(Post from February of 2011)
Please take the time to read and pray about the following articles. We need to be outspoken about these events and encourage everyone to be praying.

I have plenty going on in my life, but until my brothers and sisters are released, I feel silly writing...
Constant Change
(Post from January of 2012)
Well, we moved to San Francisco last week… I believe this is where God wants my family and me at this time. We will spend the next few weeks learning about the various ministries in this area. I want to be an encouragement to the different ministers out here. Sometimes, we can too quickly start ministries and hurt existing ministries. Due to our consumer mindset,...

Beyond Expectations
(Post from December of 2010)
It has been an amazing couple of months as you probably saw from Lisa’s updates. I don’t even know where to start. Once again, God far exceeded my expectations. He has a way of doing that…
Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us… Ephesians 3:20
There is far too much to say. I won’t...
Still in Thailand (update from Lisa)
(Post from November of 2010)
Obviously…I am not meant to blog. I allow far too much time to pass, and too many things happen in the space of that time! I cannot believe December is here and we have been gone for six weeks now.
Our time with the children at Life Impact and in Thailand in general has been a true trip favorite for the whole family. Watching my older girls work so hard to help...
In Thailand (update from Lisa)
(Post in November of 2010)
We have been here at the children’s home now for 5 or 6 days (I’m losing track) and we are just LOVING it. What a blessing to love and serve these kids! Each child has a unique and tragic story, but to see them giggle and run around, you would never know it. Some were rescued moments before their mothers sold them to sex traffickers from Bangkok, some were...
Still in India (update from Lisa)
(Post from October of 2010)
I guess I should write something every day so I don’t feel like I need to write a novel to fill you all in. But alas, that does not seem feasible so I will try to hit the “highlights”. First off, you can be praying for Francis and Rachel and Mercy. They left at 3:00 this morning for a LONG journey to the persecuted believers gathering (they are...
In India (update from Lisa)
(Post from October of 2010)
This is just a short update to let you all know we are alive and well. I can’t thank God enough for the journey over here… it was SO much easier than I expected. The little kids were awesome, traveling for well over thirty hours (lay-overs included).
The people of India are so happy to have visitors, especially little children. Zeke and Ellie are a...
Living the Dream!!!
(Post from Sept. of 2010)
I woke up this morning realizing that I am living the dream! In other words, I do not know how my life could be any better. I am leaving for Asia with my family of six. We love God, love each other, and are excited to minister to people in need. We are free to go anywhere His Spirit leads and for as long as His Spirit leads. What more can a guy ask for? I know it...
