As Chris doesn't currently have internet / email contact, I've been in touch with him to get an update for you all so you can continue to pray specifically for them.
Tonight they are doing the Lifehouse play (the same one they did last year) but with one of the translators travelling with them as the girl in the play (sorry to those that don't know the play) to try and make it even more relevent for the people of Thailand. At Urban Summer at Mitcham Baptist last year this had a huge impact on the youth resulting in a number of them decided to get baptised. Pray that this play can have the same impact on the locals there watching it and that it makes sense to really allow some open discussion with the team members.
On Sunday, Chris will be leading the team down to Bangkok while Dad stays in Chiang Mai. Chris and the team will then be returning back to Chiang Mai on Monday arvo. Pray for Chris as he leads the team down into this currently politically sensitive area of the land and for safety as they travel as a team.
Team wise, continue to pray for each of the guys on team.
- Leonie as she continues to experience God challenging her in many ways... pray for discernment for her.
- Sonya as she experiences the Thai culture and the
- Dan as he gets acustomed to the flexible times required of being on a mission trip
- Dave - is going well and finding a good balance between spending time with the team and outreach activities.
- Chris - daily leadership decisions and leading the group down to Bangkok and back
- Dad - daily leadership decisions and guidance and direction while meeting with locals and the missionaries they are going over there to support and encourage.
There are effectively 5 days left for the team over in Thailand. Continue to pray for the team as a whole and for tiredness as they are continually on the move.
Thanks all for your valued support. They really appreciate it and can tell there are people praying for them. Keep it up!
Mike
