Street Meetings!

Hello again! For the past three days, we've been staying at Pastor Michael's church in Mae Sot. While we've been here, we've mainly been doing "street meetings" in which we go to different places, set up a little sound system, do a dance or two, a couple dramas, a couple testimonies, and share the Gospel. God's doing some really awesome things!! 11 people have accepted Jesus and 2 people have been healed!

One elderly lady had a stomach problem, and she was hunched over, holding her stomach. After we prayed for her, her face was BEAMING and she said through the translator that the pain was gone... she was so excited, and she understood that it was Jesus that did it! And tonight, a couple ladies were telling us that they were SO excited and happy to hear this message about Jesus.

It's very encouraging to see what God is doing here in Thailand. But we can easily feel as if we're "leaving them in the dust"... especially if we don't have a Bible in their own language to give them, etc. So please pray for these people, that God will continue the work He has started in them.

In the not-so-distant future, we will be going to some English camps, to teach English and culture, and to share the Gospel. That's the next thing on the list, along with a refugee camp or two, and some prison ministry. And tomorrow or Monday, we might get to go SWIMMING! The whole team is looking forward to the chance to cool off in a pool or waterfall for awhile. :)

We're all doing fine. Today we were a bit worn out from the heat, but all in all, the mood is upbeat and positive!!

We all love and miss our families and friends back home (((and on the other outreach teams!!!))), but we're glad to be here in Thailand! Thanks for the prayers and thanks for the comments... it's great hearing from you! God blesS!

Til next time...
~Team Thailand!
