Missionaries in Chiangmai, Thailand North Burma Christian Mission
Joel is a native of Thailand. He travels from village to village teaching and evangelizing throughout China, Myanmar, India and Thailand. He created an alphabet for the Anung tribe people, began translating the Bible into their own language, and established the Lisu and the Lahu Bible Institutes to teach and train pastors for the many remote tribes living in these countries. The Anung Christian Hostel was started in 2005 in Chiangmai to help local college students with special tutoring and to meet their living expenses. Currently underway is a project for an orphanage. Land has been purchased in Nagaland, India and the construction of dormitories has begun.
Marilyn and her brothers and sisters are the third generation of Morse family missionaries in Asia. She attends to the mission's work during Joel's extensive travels and cares at home for her aging father and bedridden mother. She sings, writes songs and records CD's through her music ministry. Her recordings have been broadcast on short wave radio, the BBC and from the Philippines on FEBC, as well as FM radio in Chiangmai.
Joel and Marilyn have three sons, a daughter and one granddaughter. They adopted Mali Saemee who now teaches and often travels with Joel. They support Elilo Patton as she works for her master's degree at Lincoln Christian Seminary and have selected her as director of the orphanage in Nagaland.
