Thailand: Nangbuadang School (Grades 1 - 5)

We are sharing with the children about the "American" culture, holidays & sports. This event gives an open door to Baan Athitaan Church to build a relationship with the teachers and the students families. Their "Grace Language School" is very popular with a nation interested in learning English and becomes a vehicle to leading others to a saving knowledge of Christ.

Thailand: Texas Team @ Work

Thailand: "The Lunch Experience"

Day 1: Planning

Crossing the street from the hotel was a challenge in itself since we are at the opening of the Rajabhat University.

At least we look busy.

Thailand: "The Rainy Season"

It poured on us going to supper on Sunday night!

Arrival @ Bangkok

We arrived on Saturday July 26 @ 8:40pm in Bangkok.

We stayed at a hotel at the airport and left for Chiang Rai the next day.

Team Arrived in Bangkok

I apologize for not having some really sharp picture to post! I just finished flying 12 hours (Dallas to Tokyo) then 6 hours (Tokyo to Bangkok) and have been up over 24 hours. I think everyone who knows me may well think that it is a tremendous undertaking for me to stay awake to get this posting accomplished.

Everything when well to the Lord's credit. The team met up at Nirita (Tokyo) and flew the last leg together. Karen McMath however did get business class accomodation but did come back to see the economy class passengers. I really thought that was big of her. Just a saint in my book wouldn't you agree?! (I did tell her I was going to pick on here for that perk)

We are staying at the airport hotel tonight and leave for Chiang Rai in the morning. I will send pictures as I can. Please keep praying for us and remembering the Mission work being done in Jesus name among the Muang people of Northern Thailand.

In Christ Service,

John
