Thailand is one of the countries that I was the most excited about and it’s hard to believe that our time here has come and gone. We have finished our last day of ministry and are getting ready to head into month 6 debrief. We have officially hit the halfway point of the race and have more of the race behind than ahead of us.
This month we have been working with a ministry called Samaritan Creations. This ministry works with women who have been working in the bars in the red light and the ministry gives them a job so they don’t have to keep working in the sex industry.
We rode a sleeper train for 17 hours from Malaysia to Thailand on travel day.

Part of ministry this month was designing a nativity scene for our ministry so that they could produce it to sale and fund themselves
On one of our adventure days some of my team went to played with elephants and got to bathe them!
These are some of the great folks that I got to spend this month with.
