Our ministry varied each day while we were working in Thailand. We mostly spent the mornings visiting, praying with people, & doing childrens ministry. The evenings were filled with teaching–EVERY SINGLE NIGHT WE HAD TO TEACH BIBLE STUDY! This helped each one of us better learn how to prepare & share what Gods Word says. I really enjoyed the learning & teaching the most.

Above, is my favorite picture (on the WR thus far).

We had to drive to border for a morning of childrens ministry. The kids were able to cross the border to spend a couple hours with us!
You can see Kara, our Childrens Ministry Coordinator, doing a fantastic job. These children are all orphans…it was a blessing to be able to spend time with them!
This little boy wanted nothing to do with the bible story play.
He just wanted to run around in the sun, with a blanket around his head, & play.
They loved this game! (We still do not know the name of it!) Two people holding hands walk around the out-side of the cirlce & tag whoever they choose. Once you are tagged, you & your partner must run around the circle, switch partners, & make it back to where you started before the other two make it around the circle. It is crazy fun–especially when you have very little kids playing…it takes them forever! I usually just pick them up & run.
This was just a taste of some of the ministry we were able to do while in Thailand. The girl on the far left of the picture, was our translator named Moan. She & I became good friends & I learned a lot from her. I was very surprised overall with how different Thailand was compared to the other two Asian countries I had come from. I would sum it all up by saying my favorite ministry was in Cambodia & my favorite surprise country {involving the beauty of the area, the people, the food, & culture} is actually a tie between Thailand & Guatemala. My least favorite country is definately Vietnam…sorry =/
