This 1st to 3rd July our 8-pax BDR team will take a 6 hour drive down to Mae Sot to minister to Burmese refugees at the border town. We are excited to bring the good news of the Gospel to our brothers and sisters who are going through a difficult season of displacement and hardship.
In this trip, we will be ministering to 300 children in a refugee school, teaching Thai language to the students, and equipping local villagers in basic hygiene and dengue prevention. Also, we will be doing local evangelism through home visits, praying for the sick, and providing a listening ear. We thank God for the two churches that invited us to serve, and we hope to spend some time encouraging the local church leaders as well.
From 22th to 24th June, we are visiting one of our staff’s home at Chiang Dao. We will be sharing testimonies, leading children programs, and doing home visits at his village, which is a 2 hour drive away from Chiang Mai city into the mountains. His parents are pastors that minister to the Shan people in their village, and we are excited to partner his parents in ministering to the villagers.
We also want to visit our staff’s parents’ mushroom farm to learn how to grow mushrooms commercially. We hope that through this time, we can build good relationship with our staff’s parents and also learn something that we can apply to our mushroom farm in our ministry center.
From 29th July to 2nd August, Sheryl and myself will be heading down to Ubon Ratchathani (1,000km southeast of Chiang Mai) to serve with a YWAM Discipleship Training School. In this week we will be translating the week’s teaching from Thai to English (The topic is “Cost of Discipleship). We are looking forward to serve with the broader YWAM Thailand family, and investing into the lives of the students in this school!
