On a mission from GOD... I am currently with 4 other people on a trip to Thailand for missions... I do not know what I will get from this, but I know that I have to let the Spirit take control and let God work through me so that His work can be accomplished. We left this morning at 12:45pm PST from Vancouver on June 6... It is currently 3:40pm (11:40pm PST) @ Japan Airport: Waiting for the connecting flight to Singapore. More updates coming.... *UPDATE* We are currently at the Singapore budget airline waiting to get on the flight to ChiangMai... Our mission is about to begin in ChiangMai! The time is about 5:00am in Singapore(2:00pm PST). *UPDATE 2* This is a late update, but this is day #3 in Chiang Mai. We had a good time with the kids, teaching them a little bit of english, some songs, crafts and some games! The kids were enthusiatic and they were eager to learn and very welcoming! One of the most memorable thing is that they came to us and asked us for our autographs! (That's about 100+ kids!) Other than that, there was the humid hot heat that we have experienced during our stay here... luckily we have air condition in each of our rooms! Food was good and the ride to the school was interesting! We ride in a pickup truck except we sit in the trunk area sometimes, different than what we have here. I will update more later, maybe have some pictures uploaded for you guys to see!! *UPDATE 3* This is a very late update, I know! The mission trip is already over and I'm in Hong Kong right now... but just remembering what has happened during those days in Thailand, makes me want to go back again. There were a few days we were teaching elementary students in 2 different schools and it was much different from the time we taught the 100+ kids. We got to interact with the kids more and get to know them better. Although the students' english was limited we got to have some fun while learning basic conversation. Like before, the students were eager to learn and are very welcoming to our presence there. We also got to teach a few university students english as well. For university students, they were able to understand what we were trying to say and they learned very fast. Living in the university, we got to pass out Gospel tracts to the people around there and to our surprise, a good 95% (or more) actually will take the tract and actually spend time reading it. Compared to the percentage of people in Vancouver that will actually take a tract and read it.... it's amazing, it's really like the harvest field that is ready to be harvested. Aside from the tract distribution, we also invited some of the students to come to the fellowship that they have in ChiangMai. About 20+ students came to the fellowship and we had a good time of songs, games and sharing. And on the next day we even had a time to go a trip to bamboo rafting with them, and that was fun because we got to know the people better that we were rafting along with. So what did I learn from this experience in Thailand? I don't know if I can use words to explain it all... if I were to sum it up it would be this: I discovered that many people in the world do not know the one true God of our Lord Jesus Christ and it is not because they do not want to accept Him, they just need someone to point them to the one true way and that is in Jesus. I personally spend too much time afraid, hiding in my comfort zone and afraid of how people would think of me.... and that has made me not fruitful. On this trip I learned that there are people that are receptive to the Gospel and it does not matter how I think people think of me.... I am someone that God can use to accomplish His will... and a verse comes to my mind - "So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." - Isaiah 41:10 People around the world, like the Thai people... needs to hear the Word and it's my job as a Christian to tell it to them. |
