Sawadee from Thailand!

DAY ONE:

After 27 Hours of Travel we made it safe and sound to Thailand. We arrived at 2am on March 10th [In Thailand] and the team has checked in to the Christian Guest House in Bangkok. Other than a little sleepy everyone is doing great! We will have a short night of rest before we have a 3 hour drive up North for Business Meetings tomorrow. We will update when we can! Thanks for the prayers!

DAY TWO:

Well, it definitely was a short night sleep... we woke up early for breakfast and piled into two vans. We headed North to Phimai. [It was a 4 Hour Drive]. We stopped halfway and enjoyed lunch and bottled water for under 1 buck per person. Fried rice, chicken, and veggies. We arrived at the Phimai Christian Center where we held a three hour meeting with about 20 people including local business owners, students, and members of the church. Our time and discussion was very enlightening and productive which gave us a better understanding of the need and opportunities for the people there.

Immediately following, we had an opportunity to visit one of the local factories that produces bedding. Then, we took a tour of the incredible ruins, Phimai Historical Park in Nakhon Ratchasima. The ruins were from the 11th century AD.

Pauline, the pastor of Phimai Christian Center invited us to attend a cell group meeting (similar to a bible study). We drove about an hour an half on pretty rough road conditions to a very remote village of only thirty homes. After a deeply moving time of worship and teaching (all in Thai), we had an opportunity to pray for the whole group. We also prayed for a boy who has been blind for sixteen years (please lift him up in your prayers).

After another hour and a half of driving, we arrived in the city of Khorat where we'll be staying for two nights. 

P.S. We have very limited internet access here so updates might not be as frequent as we hoped for.


P.P.S. We wanted to show you some images, but we are having some technical difficulties at this time (AKA super-slow internet).
