First Week Completed

Our first week of teaching and hosting "Happy Camp" are behind us. We thank God for joining and helping us. He is faithful!

Here's a quick run-down of our past week (Mon-Fri):
7:00am: breakfast (usually fried eggs, pb&j, bread and/or yogurt. A couple of times we had steamed buns and warm soy milk)
8:30-3:30: teaching at the Thai public school
5:00-6:45: teaching at the Chinese private school and the church
7:30-8:00: dinner at the church
8:00-9ish: planning, prayer
9:30-11:00: the shower line (only two operating showers)
11:00~sleep

Personally, I'm really blessed by the teamwork and cooperation of the group. There were numerous times we had to team up at the last minute or had to create new teaching groups, and everyone came through in a positive and receptive way. We also had to plan and lead two 6-hour student "camps", and again, the team came through with great cooperation and teamwork. I thank the Lord for this spirit of unity.

After a full week of ministry, the Lord has supplied us with a Saturday evening and Sunday to rest and relax. God knows what we need.

Pray that God would enable us to live out the Fruits of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

Pray also for strength, healing and good rest. Some team members have minor ailments, like heat rash and insect bites. Others have had sleepless nights because their dormitory room is next to the road or because of crowing roosters. Thanks--jchow
