We'll miss you, Al

Matthew and I were very saddened to learn of the sudden death of Mr. Al Steiner of Bangkok, Thailand this past Saturday, Nov. 26. Al was an amazing servant of the Lord at ECB and the International Community School of Bangkok. He was so much fun to be with when we were in Bangkok, wore the most cheerful brightly colored crazy shirts, took great care of us and made us his friend. We join his family in grieving this loss, and although we know he's with the Lord now, we're so very sad we won't see him again this side of heaven.
