All OMF Thailand missionaries will have started their ministry in Thailand at the Lopburi Learning Center and they would have begun their Thai Language study using modules created by Herb Purnell.
“Who is this person Purnell who wrote Purnell module 1 to 3 for learning Thai?”
Wonder no longer. Herb Purnell was an OMF missionary and linguist. After a long life, he recently passed away and the following biographical write up was posted by one of his alma maters. Click here to read the article about Herb’s life on Cairn magazine.
We are grateful for the work he put in to helping us all get a great start to our language learning.
Please do uphold missionaries who are involved in language study, pray for perseverance and good acquisition of Thai.
