Ta Mla arrived in High Point in mid-November. He is rooming with Chaw White on Marlboro Street. Ta Mla had lived in a refugee camp on the Thai/Burma border for a number of years. His father is a preacher at a large church (500) in the refugee camp. Ta Mla is doing very well with understanding English and will timidly try out his English when he gets a chance. His sisters already live in High Point. They are Sharon, Nyein’s wife, and Susana. Welcome to America we’re glad you could follow our ancesters who also immigrated to this land.

About johnmcmurphy
Jesus is first and full most in my life. He is above all religions, principalities and powers. In everything He must increase and I must decrease. Into the hands of Jesus, God has placed life and death, truth and purity. strength and meaning. Only in a growing understanding of the triune God, and his son Jesus can I do, breathe, exist and serve.
I am a friend of the Lao First Wesleyan Church who is sponsoring families arriving from Burma.
I have a Bachelor's degree in Bible from Vennard College, a Master's in Social Science from Azusa Pacific University and a Ph. D. from Ohio State in Family Relations and Human Development.
I am an ordained pastor involved in cross-cultural ministry.
I am currently employed at a local community college teaching college study skills.
