Countdown December 16, 2010

While we all are busy getting ready to celebrate Jesus' birthday with our families and friends, the Thailand Mission Team is also getting ready to head to Thailand. We are down to 19 days before we leave and there are a lot of mixed emotions going through each of us. Excitement, fear, nervousness, giddiness....











There have been a few changes for the contruction team due to some unexpected circumstances, but we will now be heading to a refugee camp called Mae La Oon, which is located on the Burma border, just a little SW of Ma Saring. We will be building 2, possibly 3, bamboo huts to be used as housing for children in an orphanage.







We are excited to see what God has in store for us. Please continue to keep us in your prayers.



The Missions Team Has Returned!



This is the Medical/Construction Team that went to Thailand February 2010. The trip was overwhelming for most of us. It opened our eyes like never before. The need, the despair, the lack of hope we found with the Burma refugees was heart rendering. At the same time the thankfulness of anything we could give them was so great it made us feel so humble. Words cannot express the emotions we felt over the two weeks we were there. That is why most of us are planning to go back again next year in January 2011.

Missions Trip Update-

The Medical/Construction Team arrived safely and on schedule in Thailand, and sailed through customs.

Below is an update from David received Monday, February 15th:

Thank you so much for all your love, support and prayers. I had to drive out to the mountain to get more medical supplies and was able to get a signal on my iphone.
Just a quick report for you, both teams are working tirelessly, the medical team has been a huge blessing as people are walking great distances to see Pat and Brenda. Today Pat will have his hands full with many children. Jennie is a great help passing out meds etc. The toilet project is also going great. Yesterday we installed 12 of the 13 latrines. Today they are pouring the floors. A great blessing arose for the villagers because of this project, too much to share via Iphone.

Love you so much,

David Kniesz
