Liberty Church and The Phrao Project

The day began with a time of prayer, worship and Bible study. After breakfast, we boarded a couple of vehicles and made our way to the Liberty Church of Chiang Mai. We were warmly greeted and had the joy of joining these believers in worship. Though the service and singing were in Thai, the joy that these brothers and sisters in Christ expressed through singing was quite tangible. Furthermore, we had the privilege of sharing in communion with these believers. One interesting habit that we observed was that when the grape juice was consumed everyone exchanged the cup of juice they held in their hand with their neighbor before we drank. Melissa shared her testimony and encouraged the believers to persevere in their faith.During the sermon, we took the children from the church to another room and led them in a Bible story and activities.

We shared a simple meal of chicken and rice with the members of the church and then made our way to the Phrao project. Phrao is a remote village about 1.5 hours away from Chiang Mai. In this community we gathered the children of the village together and had the chance to lead them in ministry. Some of these children heard the gospel for the first time this afternoon! Please pray that the seeds of the gospel will find fertile soil in their young lives.As I write this, the students are preparing for the next three days of ministry in the Mae Wong Village. Very likely, there will not be internet where we are going. So, if the blog is silent, please don't be alarmed.
