Sawadeetukon! (Hello all!)
After a few days of traveling we finally arrived in Thailand last Tuesday. We drove to Chiang Rai to Jasper Kids Home. It was wonderful to learn more about their ministry and how they provide a home and opportunities for Thai children from remote mountain villages so they can receive an education while also experiencing discipleship in the gospel.
We built relationships with the kids to ministry to them through worship, language lessons, and playing games and activities.
We were encouraged because despite language barriers, we were still able to love them and build close relationships with them. We came with the mission to serve our Thai brothers and sisters, but we left overwhelmed with their love for us. What a joy it was to be able to witness different nations and tongues come together and be united under one Father. (continued below…)
We also had the opportunity to visit a church in a nearby village called Huai Rai, and visited the pastor's house as well. We prayed over the village, the pastor, his family, and the church. We were blessed to see people so passionate about God even in such a remote area where Christianity is not prevalent.
After staying at Jasper Kids Home for one more night, we will be heading back over to Chiang Mai to do ministry preparation for the second half of our trip at Bokaeo Village.
We ask that you pray for strength and endurance as we faithfully continue to serve the Lord.
