O herrooooo Thailand! We have been in the country for about a week now and may I say that I am absolutely pumped to be here. We were able to explore Bankok for a few days before all of the guys on the squad headed out on a bus to kick off our manistry month. Our ministry this month is in an orphanage called Remember Nhu. The focus of this organization is to prevent young girls and boys from being sold into the sex industry. The kids here range from about a year and a half to about fifteen.
Our living situation has been a bit different than in most months but I wouldn’t want anything else for our man month. For the first month on the race we are actually using our tents and camping out on a mango orchard. Remember Nhu has recently purchased a piece of land not far from the original home where they will be building more homes for at risk children in the northern part of the country. They call it the new land. I can’t imagine why.
Our contacts this month go by the names of Brian and Beth. They are ex racers from N-Squad and have been living in a small two-room house on the new land for the past nine months. They plan on moving to Cambodia to become the first international staff for the Remember Nhu branch in Phnom Penh. Brian and Beth, along with the other staff here, have an unbelievably big heart for the kids here. The security and comfort they have given up for the Kingdom is nothing less than humbling. From this small house in the country side, they show the love of Christ to hundreds and make up a bigger part of the body than we will every know. We are blessed to be here with them this month.

Please keep Remember Nhu in your thoughts and prayers as they are looking to expand to Brazil and all over the world. Here is a video that a past racer made about our ministry this month.
