They're Off!!

Well, the group is finally on their way! We have just returned from the airport after seeing off the 11 people travelling to Bangkok from Melbourne (Mel is already up in Bangkok and will be meeting them up there). After a pretty hectic day for a few today they had no troubles getting through their numerous boxes of medications and didn't have to pay anything extra for any excess baggage... (Prayer point number 1 answered). The second and third big praise points today also included Leonie having to get a new passport today after realising last night (the night before they left that she had lost her passport. Steve (team leader) accompanied her into the city and after explaining to the passport people that Leonie was an 'integral part of the medical team', they issued her with a new passport within an hour. Howard (from Crossway) today also managed to get onto a return flight home with other team members after still being waitlisted up till today.

So that's the update for now. I'll be keeping you up to date as much as possible on behalf of Chris while he's away. Thanks for your prayers so far and keep praying, especially for sleep and rest on their way up to Chang Rai as they'll be flying through the night and will be hitting the ground running when they arrive.

Best wishes.

Mike (on behalf of Chris and the Thailand Mission Team)
