It’s late. I’m exhausted and still recovering from my cold (Praise the Lord that I was significantly better today and am still praying for full recovery by tomorrow), but I wanted to post our ministry assignment for when we are in Thailand. We just found this out today!
I’m very excited despite our extremely rural living conditions!

Church Planting Ministry – Kanchanaburi
Kanchanaburi,
a province in western Thailand, became world-famous after the movie
“The Bridge on the River Kwai” hit screens in the 1950’s. Today…Arun
and his wife, Pang, have now started a new YWAM Thailand ministry in
western Thailand in March 2003. While Kanchanaburi is still in the
development stages (limited cell phone coverage) the opportunities to
share Jesus Christ abound everywhere! Your team will have an
opportunity to teach English at a local school, as well as engage in
open air evangelism at the local market and various other venues. There
is also the opportunity to do prayer walking in and around the town,
visit with villagers, and even encourage the local Christians. Your
team will also be asked to help out every Sunday morning by sharing
testimonies, helping to lead worship, performing dances or dramas and
even preaching the morning sermon! Arun and Paeng also have a plethora
of goats that they own and your team will be asked to help with the
daily feeding, cleaning and upkeep! For all the latest information on
what God is doing in Kanchanaburi, check out the following link at –
