First Serve welcomes Kari and Monte Cheney to the stage 7/24/10, sharing their hard-won wisdom from Thailand.  8:30 AM

Monte and Kari Cheney are returning to Central Oregon after serving at Asia-Pacific International University (formerly Mission College) in Thailand for four years.  While there, Monte taught mathematics in the international program and served as dean of men in Elijah Hall.  Kari homeschooled their four children, Kelsie (13), Nate (11), Colin (9), and Ryan (7) as well as teaching Sabbath School, ministered to the stomachs and hearts of various student populations, and helped to edit stories and other documents for the  Hope4BKK church-planting project in Bangkok.  They first moved to Bend in 1998 when Kelsie was 2.
