Our morning was spent with the team that coordinates correspondence courses for children throughout Thailand. Their passion for their work was contagious. We had lunch with them and prayed together for the work that they were doing.
We continue to be amazed at what God is doing here in church planting initiatives and work among those on the streets in Thailand. I wish I could fly each of you over here just to meet some of my new friends - John and Nok in particular come to mind, Thai church planters, who are in their late 30s. Their passion and faith is mind blowing.
One of the members travelling in our team, Murray, returned home today since his son who was admitted to hospital for some checks. Preliminary results are good but Murray ( rightly) wanted to head home to be with family, especially since we will be out of range shortly.
We then flew to Chiang Mai and drove the 4 hours of rugged countryside in 4 wheel drive ready for our village stint these next two nights. We go from urban ministry to rural conditions. We are certainly about to enter into poverty conditions. I'm told that the annual salary for some of the workers is $360! (a dollar a day). We will be hearing what God is doing among these struggling people and what the opportunities are for us to engage.
Traveling and waiting for planes has enabled good prayerful discussions and dreaming about what can. Interestingly, the same projects that require further prayer and dialogue resonate with each of us. God's hand seems to be in this. Together we look look forward to the next few days and the possibilities of what God might do through us in the years to come.
P.S. There won't be any updates till back in range.
