It is 10:30pm as I write this. The team has put in another full day. Today was geared towards the cooking night at the Centre. We began the day by visiting Chiang Mai University where we initiated conversations with students and invited them to join us at the Centre this evening for English conversation and a taste of Western foods.
By 7:00pm, the Centre was filled with students. We played a few ice breakers with the students and then moved into the food. Our students prepared three dishes: tacos, poutine and crepes. After all were fed, our students introduced the parable of the Good Samaritan and preformed it for those who were gathered. After, Jonathan Selvalingham and Dorothy Yeung shared their testimonies and the message of the gospel with the Thai students. It was trememndously moving to see our students introducing these Thai students to the person and work of Jesus Christ - some for the very first time.
We have now returned from the Centre and all are settling in for a well deserved rest. Tomorrow will see us visiting a church and helping with some manual work on the premises. Afterward, the youth of the church have invited their friends to come to the church. We will be sharing with these youth. Please pray for clarity and boldness in sharing the gospel.
Hi all. Just a quick note to let you know that you are in our prayers. Thanks so much for encouraging me as I read the update. I love hearing about the commitment of each one of you as you serve the Lord! God is faithful and He will use you to "give an answer for the hope that is in you!" 1 Peter 3:15
