Thailand Update - By the Burma Border

Today was another busy but wonderful day in Thailand!  We started off the day reading from Jeremiah 17:5-13, where it talks about how we should only put our trust in God, and not in any other object.  This morning, Peter took us up the mountain to the Chinese Ban Rak Thai tea village, which is a Chinese refugee village right by the Burma border.  We were able to spend some time sampling different types of tea and eating authentic Chinese food.

After lunch, we went to visit the Doysaeng outreach village.  In this village, they practice Animism (the belief in spirits).  The headman of this village recently became a believer, and he has been trying to encourage other members of his tribe to trust the one true God.  As of now, only 5 members of this tribe are believers.  Many of the others are waiting to see what bad things will happen to the headman now that he has upset the spirits.  Please pray for the encouragement of our brothers and sisters, and that God would show himself to be more powerful than the spirit world so that others may come to know Him.

This was also our last day teaching English in the village.  I have been working with the men on how to give directions to the tourists that may come to visit the village. It's been a long and slow process, but very rewarding!

Thanks for your prayers!
