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.

These children escaped from Burma's life of murder, rape, forced labor and starvation. Now, safely living in a CCN dormitory, we can educate all 40 children at a cost of $240 for 1-year. Is there anyone willing to help?
Classrooms open this week.

During the planning of our Thailand trip in Jan. 2011, the construction team was going to go into Mae La Oon to build housing huts for the orphaned refugee children. There was to be a house for the girls and one for the boys. Our supplies were purchased and delivered, but as we were landing in Chaing Mae, we were informed that we would not be allowed to go to Mae La Oon as fighting had broken out there and our safety could not be guaranteed. The refugees used our supplies and were able to build the housing for the orphans. They did a fabulous job.
