Maejo U, My Favorite Friend, and Coming Home

We've been on the run the last few days and haven't updated recently. Here's a brief recap:

Wednesday, 28 July: We toured and prayer walked Maejo University with Thailand Campus Crusade for Christ (TCCC). Dinner from street vendors.

Thursday, 29 July: Visited Maerim School in the morning to meet with teachers and former students (We taught at Maerim the previous four trips). Traveled to Maejo U, and began to meet students during lunch break and walking around campus. Some contacts were made, and some flyers for a Friday night party were distributed. Praise Night with TCCC in the evening. Adrienne gave her testimony. Steph and Justin sang a duet, backed up by Stuart, Matt and Josh on instruments. Two team members and a TCCC staffer, Pai, shared the 4 Spiritual Laws with six students--and three accepted Christ! (Yay for Jesus!!!)

Friday, 30 July: Arrived on campus to meet students and invited them to Friday's event at TCCC--My Favorite Friend Party. Some played basketball with students during lunch.

My Favorite Party (7-9:30): About 60+ in attendance, more students than expected since we only had two days to meet students. (In addition to our surveying the campus, student leaders were also making invitations. God answered prayers!) Greg co-emceed the night, the team performed "Healer" with body worship, and mimed to "Lamb of God." Pai gave a message. A number of people came to accept Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord! Praise God! More answered prayers! From 10pm-midnight, some attended TCCC's monthly prayer and worship meeting--a really vibrant time of prayer!

Saturday, 31 July: A day to "relax". Late wake-up for everyone, buffet lunch at 11:30am, a visit to the mall, swimming with students, dinner by TCCC, and touring through an outdoor night bazaar with some students.

Now comes cleaning our rooms and packing. We're leaving the TCCC housing at 6:30am for an 8:45am flight to Bangkok (8 hour layover). Then we fly to Taipei (2 hour layover). Then the long flight home to LA. ETA to LAX, Sunday, 1 Aug, 9:45pm.

Thanks for reading and your continuous prayers.
