English Camp

This past weekend we had our overnight English camp. Due to limited camp space, we could only allow fifty-five students to sign up. To our surprise, the spots were quickly filled. My team created the theme of “Under the Sea” and planned for two days of fun and God centered lessons and games. We separated everyone into four groups each having at least one of our team members as well as a translator. The sharks, fish, whales, and the best team of all, the dolphins ;), challenged each other in many contests and relay games. The students seemed to really enjoy our hard work and we were able to have many great discussions in our small groups. Our separate rooms created a great forum for one-on-one discussion as well. One of our Thai friends shared his testimony and played the guitar and sang with his wife. It was beautiful and we were very appreciative of him for sharing.

On Sunday afternoon, the students did a surprise for us. They arranged themselves on the stage and perform a song with motions for us. After that they surrounded us in a circle and performed another routine which was so much fun. This display of love furthered showed their friendship and gratitude to us. God is truly blessing me in Thailand and I ask that you continue to pray for my team and the people of Isaan.
