Hey everyone!!! We didn't have internet access the last few days of the trip but we wanted to let you know how it ended. Three Thai people gave their lives over to the Lord while we were in Phrae on the last day of 3 minute English. Praise God!!!
We spent the last two days in Chiang Mai where we did some surveying on Friday. We counted houses and apartments in neighborhoods so that local missionaries could distribute "The Hope" videos. They have translated this video that tells the Bible from Genesis through Jesus' resurrection into the Thai language and will distribute them later this year or early next year.
We want to say thank you to everyone who prayed or helped us in any way. The team was able to do a little touring on the last 2 days. While we were in Chiang Mai, we ran into believers everywhere. We were all so amazed!!! Even the Thai translator that was with us was amazed. He said you don't see that everyday!!! God is good and he was with us during this trip. We are glad to be home with our families but we left a piece of us in Thailand!!!

The LORD is at work!!! Today was an awesome day. We prayer walk from 9-10 and then teach English from 10-12pm. One team had children waiting on them when they got to their station at 9am. We ended up sending one team member out so the rest of them could stay behind and teach English. Children just kept coming and coming and coming!!!!! We told 9 children the creation story all the way up through the Good News!!! Several of them said they want to go to the heaven (that's the way Thai people say it). We called in some re-inforcements and ended up taking the children to Mark and Lisa's house. By that time, we had about 12 children. We played games and taught them English. Our 3 minute English turned into 3 hour English. Each team has some really great stories to tell. It's late tonight so we are planning on posting pictures of 3 minute English tomorrow during our free time.
We also went for bike rides today around the city and we celebrated Mark's birthday with ice cream cake. Tomorrow is our last day of prayer walking and 3 minute English. Tomorrow night we will go back to the church we worshiped at on Sunday and have some more Follow Jesus lessons. Sa wat dee!!

The radio station dedication service was very moving!! Several of us cried a lot even though we could hardly understand a word they were saying. Every now and then someone would fill us in on what was going on. It didn't have to be in English for it to pierce our hearts. Ajun Bandhit preached from Matthew 28:18-20 and he was letting them have it :) We could tell much. They are very thankful for everyone who has had a part in making this happen.

The 3-minute English went well. We split up into 3 groups and were stationed at different businesses in Phrae. Each team had a translator and we prayer walked the area first. Each team had bookmarks and tracts to hand out. We had signs up that said Practice English so they would know why we were there. At least one team was able to share the gospel once. We formed some friendships and we hope they will come back on Monday when we do it again.
Last night we ate dinner at Ajun Bandhit's brothers house. It was a lot of fun. Some of the team danced with the Thai ladies. Ajun Bandhit grew up in a christian home but his brothers married ladies who are not christian so they are now unsure of their faith. Mrs. Betty was able to share her testimony with his brother. Pray for her as she will talk to his wife tonight.
Today we were a part of the worship service for the dedication of the radio station. We will post more about that later.
