Chang Rai

The latest news from Thailand... the group arrived with no problems into Bangkok. They got the medication through customs without any problems although they wanted to check every one of the 17? boxes of medication they had. They picked up Mel in Singapore and after arriving in Bangkok, set off for a 10 hour bus ride up north to Chang Rai. 13 hours later they arrived at their hotel at 1am and had a rest day the following day after more than 24 hours of non-stop travelling! The team all managed to get 8 hrs sleep which was great considering the travelling required.
Since being in Chang Rai, they have visited one of the villages where they had 'Yudanese' converts, another 'Aka' (excuse my spelling) village where there were only 4 or 5 Christian familes and they felt a need to have an outreach time at mid-day after their clinic. Surprisingly a few witch doctors were challenged and questioning things. (An awkward time for the witch doctors considering their role and status in their society.) Another Thai interprettor (Joe) who has been with them on previous trips has now joined them. He relates well to all people, especially the young ones.
If you've heard any more, please feel free to add any comments or email me so I can post it on this site. The team want to thank you all for your prayers so far and those still to come.
