Putting on a New Culture (Kristina)

Written by

August, 2013

Golden Buddha statues rise above the colored rooftops , intricately designed temples glimmer in the sunlight, scattered throughout the lush green mountainside. This is Thailand from the birds eye view. Beyond the beauty, deep inside the country, you will notice that  there are small spirit houses in every home, store, and business built for the spirits.  Early in the morning, the smoke of incense rises to the sky.  The Buddhist people seek to appease the spirits. Chanting prayers and bringing offerings of fruit, flowers and water will bring them blessing and ensure that the spirits will not harm them.  This is their connection with the spiritual world.

Gods Mighty Works Continue…

“Teacher, teach me.” The strong command was a surprise. This young girl was eager to learn how to share the gospel.  She knew she was to be the only one speaking at the hospital that day, and took the responsibility to prepare. As she boldly stood before the beds of the sick patients and presented the message of salvation and God’s grace, God indeed used her mightily!  Many people responded positively and accepted the gospel tracts. These are the moments in which we rejoice. Seeing God using the teens in great ways, and changing their character, is a joy.

Goodbye (Natasha)

Written by

Our goal for this week was just that. For Sao and Fasai to apply what they learned and practice being Sunday School teachers. I think they learned a lot more than that. Not only did they teach the story of Joseph as planned, but they had the chance to teach Thai, Math, and help with English :) what a great experience for them.

Little Treasures (Natasha)

The trinkets that are important to a child can seem trivial to most adults.

Languages (Natasha)

Written by

“Today, there are 73 students enrolled” said the principal of the Avoda sister school in Mae Sot. I gather that that number changes often and constantly. Sometimes the children have to work and cannot continue their education. While they are here however, they are taught THREE languages. Burmese, because that is their mother language. Thai, because they live in Thailand. And English because of ASEAN coming up in 2015.

BROWN EYES (Natasha)

Written by

Soapy and earthen scents, toothless grins, sticky fingers, holey socks, hands pulling at your skirt, worn out shoes lined up in a neat row. Joyous, just joyous! And the sound of laughter…these are the things running through my head after today.

The Girl With the Red Bow (Natasha)

Written by

Amongst the chaos of having forty children crammed in one room waiting for the teacher, I heard a thin high voice singing the following: “God is so good, God is so good, God is so good, He’s so good to me.” As I came closer to her and knelt down, she became shy and the words drifted off until I could hear her no more.
