The sweetest words ever spoken at ESL class! We have had many ask and we are humbled and honored to answer yes I will. Why did we travel half way around the world? For those moments! Thanks to Brian the wiz of technology hopefully you have enjoyed some pictures of our experience. However there are literally a thousand words behind each picture. I encourage you to ask some of the people in the pictures when they get home to share.
We finished our third day of workshop today with presentations from Joanne, Kathy and Brian. Yesterday Gale, Ann and Kay did their presentations even including a Skype conversation from all the Bennings and Grandma and Grandpa! All did exceptionally well! Not only have the participants been relaxing and therefore speaking English more, they are asking us questions about Jesus. We sing songs about Jesus and refer to our faith many times in our presentation as well as regular prayers but you just never know where someone is in their walk. The overwhelming majority of people are Buddhist.
Thai people are so kind, loving and happy. They have welcomed us with open arms. Our team is doing well all the way around. As a leader, I have been so proud of each one of them for stepping out of their comfort zones in many many ways. God has blessed our efforts and words. We give Him all the glory for the connections we have made.
Last night and tonight some of our team is joining the "professionals" as they teach their classes to see how it is done and make connections with their students. Please include Robin and David in your prayers as they have dedicated their lives to living in Bangkok and reaching people for Christ.
One last bit of trivia! Did you know "God of this City" was written about a very dark city in Thailand? As we sang it last night the words have taken on new meaning for our team. We now understand the amazing about of work yet to be done in this world to tell people about their SAVIOR Jesus! We are overwhelmed by the amount of people who have never heard of Jesus and his life saving work.
I, the Lord of Sea and Sky
Here I am, Lord. Is it I, Lord?
I have heard You calling in the night.
I will go, Lord, If you lead me.
I will hold Your people in my heart.

SCRIPTURE
ROMANS 12: 6-8
We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.
MATTHEW 9: 37-38
Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.
