Michael & Kamonwan Perez
About
Some people run triathlons. Others compose symphonies, design skyscrapers or become masters in karate. Michael speaks words of life. A Young Hispanic, Spoken Word Artist from Chicago who followed JESUS to South East Asia. Many years ago Michael dreamed of renovating an old fire house in Bucktown, Chicago into a creative space for inner city youth. Little did he know that the dream was for youth in a different “inner-city” just minutes away from the war torn country of Burma.
In 1997, Michael went on to study computer engineering for 2 years at the University of Illinois in Chicago and finishing his degree in Business in NYC, but Michael knew there was more to discover. After some soul searching, Michael was re-awakened to his dream. His journey into the world began, experiencing countries like Turkey, Honduras and soon after a year long backpacking trip through South East Asia, Africa and Eastern Europe. Michael found what he was in search of and its been growing him ever since. He can't be buried..he's a SEED!

FAMILY U.S. TRAVEL / MEDICAL / VISAS
Will you prayerfully consider a one-time gift toward helping our family travel back to the United States? As part of building a healthier, more sustainable long-term plan, we’ve decided to create a dedicated fund for family travel back to the U.S.—whether yearly or every other year. With a growing family, rising airfare costs, and the added complexity of visas, work permits, and scheduling, planning these trips can become overwhelming and expensive very quickly (often $3,500+). This has become especially important for us in light of Hosea’s diagnosis. Being able to return to the U.S. gives us the opportunity for continued medical follow-up, including visits with our dear friend Jerome, a neurologist in Atlanta, who has been instrumental in helping us navigate and understand our son’s condition. Having access to that care and counsel brings us tremendous peace. If you feel led, would you prayerfully consider investing in our family travel fund? No pressure at all—your prayers, encouragement, and support mean more to us than we can easily put into words. Thank you for walking with us and continuing to support our family and the work here in Thailand
