Compassion Child

Hi all...

We are in Chiang Mai. Today we visited our Compassion Child. It was an amazing experience. The Compassion staff drove us from our guest house to our child's village about 2 hours away. We met the staff and talked with them about Compassion and we also talked with the pastor. Then we went to our child's school and taught English to 100 students for 90 minutes. It was so much fun singing songs and playing games. Then our child, Chinnakrit rode back with us to the village and we all ate lunch together. He prayed for our meal. It was delicious. We then were welcomed into the home of his family. We talked and prayed with them (through an interpreter). We also presented them with gifts and food. They presented us with handmade clothing articles for the whole team.

It was great to hug our little boy, see his smiles and talk with his mother face to face. We have supported him for 5 years. His parents were very grateful for our visit and appreciative for the prayers and support.

Continue to pray for our health and safety. We are off to another village tomorrow about 90 minutes away to meet another child and teach at another school.

More to come...Sherilyn (Team leader)
