Photos from Outreach in Thailand 2013/2014

Our group of 8 ladies plus Bethany and I have been in Thailand for about four weeks now. Our time has been spent traveling up north of Thailand and visiting different churches and schools to put on Christmas parties. We sang Christmas and worship songs , shared testimonies and bible stories and performed our skits that are simple but give a good explanation of Jesus. While traveling with a local pastor of Bangkok and helping him church plant we also got to help celebrate the opening of his fathers church in one of the provinces on the mountains for New years! We were able to visit a village that had  first heard about Jesus 70 years ago when some missionary's visited their village,we were the second missionary's ever to come through their village and they were so very grateful for our arrival. We met the lady that first became a Christian and then led the whole village to know the Lord and we were able to encourage them and pray for the people there. :) God blessed us with about 7 meals every day- enough sticky rice to last a life time and a place to sleep, either on church floors or in peoples huts with mosquitoes nets to protect us. It was a wonderful 12 days of traveling and outreach up north. Then we spent a couple days in downtown Bangkok serving a ministry that helps with the homeless and prostitutes, the neighbor hood actually reminded me a lot of the Tenderloin. We were able to go around and talk to some buys selling themselves, sharing with them about Jesus and letting them know that we nor Jesus judge and they are still His beloved sons! We passed out tracks which are a huge door opener and gum as a gift to show we care for them. We also were able pass out roses to the women in the neighbor hood and were also able to cook omelets for the homeless and actually learned how to cook a Thai omelet which are so very good and one of my favorite dishes here. We have been blessed to be a part of these ministries along with some other stuff at the YWAM base in Thailand. Eight of our team just left today for India while myself and two other students stay here in Bangkok to finish out our outreach working with the YWAM base. Please keep us in your prayers! :)
God Bless!!!
