Mission work is common for many faithful church
members, who travel to pockets of the world to do work in the name of
God. For some missionaries that work takes on a life-long commitment.
That is the story of Sandy and Larry Miller, who have dedicated their hearts to the Prai tribe in Thailand. Their work included developing the tribe's first written language, which has enabled tribe members to understand the Bible.
"We were trained to do this," Sandy Miller says. "We learned how to pronounce, read and write every sound we heard."
They were missionaries in Thailand for 27 years, leaving the field in 2004 because of Sandy's health and settling in Fresno.
She now teaches at El Capitan Middle School in Fresno. He is a special education teacher at Millview Elementary School in Madera. Both are active in ministry at The Bridge, a congregation in east-central Fresno that supports mission projects worldwide.
