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.

On Friday, February 12th, ten of us flew over to Bangkok, Thailand, where we met up with Keith Irwin (Jim's son who is a missionary with YWAM 'Youth with a Mission' in Bangkok) and Cara Callison, Pat & Tamyra's daughter (who flew up from Indonesia to dental assist her Dad).
  We arrived in Chiang Mai Sunday morning and were met by Dave Kniesz, missionary in Thailand and 6 other drivers with trucks.  The medical supplies were already purchased by Dave and loaded in the trucks.  We threw our stuff in and off we headed.
