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.

Patti Wright


PATTI WRIGHT 

What a truly life changing experience this mission trip was to me. It opened my eyes to new cultures and ways of life. I am unable to put into words the touching and emotional experiences that I had, but would not have wanted to change anything about the trip.

The people of Burma were so welcoming even under their horrific circumstances that they have endured. It brought great joy to my heart to see them happy and that they allowed us to share in their lives briefly. I am beginning to see that God works thru people who love Him and not just a select few.

While listening to a talk at the church in Nai Soi, I came to realize that He has blessed us with free will and choices and the ability to forgive.


I would like to add that Patti gave her life to God in Nai Soi and was baptized in the river that runs through that camp. PTL!~BL
