In Thailand

We are in a National Geographic photo spread! Our group has traveled into the lush green mountains outside of a town called Tak in north west Thailand. This area is populated by the Lisu and Lahu tribes and we are the first team of foreigners to serve in the area. So far we have spent a lot of time teaching english in the charity school here as well as the very populated orphanage. The pastor and his wife who we are staying with have taken advantage of our growing skills as english teachers as well and are surpassing us in the race to learn each others languages. We are also spending time with members of the burdgeoning church who are thirsty for discipleship and teaching. They are all still very steeped in their tribal practice of ancestor worship. So we are busy teaching basic Christianity and what it is to have a true relationship with Jesus. Pray for health as one after another we have been coming down with colds. The mountains are much colder than what we were prepared for. The guys love it, not so much the girls. Look for another update when we come down from the mountain again on the 6th of October. Blessings!
