To Mission College and Beyond...
BANGKOK: After our trip to the Northeast things have settled down and we are back at our church plant in Thonburi. I didn't realize how much I cared about the people here at our church until I didn't see them during our trip. The trip was fun and we got a lot accomplished but I was happy to be back home with the people I love. Please continue to pray for our church plant. Our head pastor, a missionary of 5 years, went was called away and we have a new pastor. His name is Prateep and he is a new graduate from Mission College. At the age of 23 this is a big project to take over. He is one of my favorite Thai's and is definately the man for the job. Please keep him and all the missionaries here in your prayers.
NEW CHRISTIANS: Since we have been back from the trip to the Northeast there have been many new visitors to the center. Some of my students from before have been wondering about our beliefs as Christians. I started Bible studies with them last week and they are eating it up. We started with creation and have now come to the start of Jesus' ministry on this earth. Please keep them in your prayers!
OTHER SM'S: Check out the other Student Missionarie's Blogs. Cory, Robin, and Kelly. We all have different perspectives on our experiences and I don't always have time to post. Check them out!
MISSION COLLEGE: This weekend we were able to go and visit Mission College. Prateep took us to his house less than a mile from the campus and took us around the town. From hiking to the White Buddha to riding motorcycles we had a great time.
COMMENTS: It IS OK to comment my blog. This would help me know who (if anyone) reads this. Thanks!

To the Northeast
NORTHEAST: For the last week Robin and I have been travelling with the former Adventist Mission President of Thailand across the Northeast. We have been filming at every stop. Our days include long drives in the back of pickups sleeping on the piles of our equipment, filming re-enactments of Thai conversion stories, and arriving at the next Adventist Church tired and soaked in sweat. The pastor of the Ubon church has been a great help and has hooked us up with numerous church members to interview and film. We have imported the footage onto our portable handy Mac and are ready to have our new Thai editor, Goi, start editing. But for now it is Sabbath and back on the road tomorrow.
