Today is Baptism Day!

So much has happened since my last post just a few days ago. Jessi has rejoined us (yipeeee), we have had copious amounts of rice as we have shared the gospel with Thais, we have sweat more than we thought possible and we have above all witnessed God working in the hearts of Thais and our team members. In all, it is at times overwhelming.

Today, everyone has gone off to see the baptisms. Claire overheated this morning so we have stayed behind to see if we can cool her off. We are hoping to head out later. I am so excited to share with you the stories we hear. Don't worry though, Craig is recording everything... perhaps it is an excuse to avoid the heavy work or water ballons...

Our projects are wrapping up well. I realised that in the previous post I put the wrong Thai name to the projects. It is hard to learn 30 new names and in a different language it is really hard. The families we are helping are so overwhelmed to be loved in such a tangible way. There have been many happy tears over the last few days.

Continue to pray with us for health and safety, for stamina and courage. Pray that the Thai church in Thailand will rise up and courageously tell all Thais that Jesus loves them and by following him they can experience life.

Rhea for the team

P.S. We are still collecting donations to finish off the projects we have done.
