Our purpose here is to equip faithful ministers with the knowledge and the tools we have and then replace ourselves with them, so that they can flourish and get the job done! We want to see the Kingdom grow and what better way than to have locals carry on the work! We feel good leaders will train others and challenge them to be great.
Everything is mild green, a few leaves are turning colors, but there’s absolutely no chance of snow. Still, LOVELY fall weather has finally arrived here in Chiang Rai! We also appreciate the opportunities the Lord has given us here to share His love.
There are a couple of past events, we want to catch you up on, so here we go! We had mentioned that we were going to do an English and sports summer school out of our home. However, due to various circumstances, the camp was cancelled. It worked out best for us, so thanks be to God!
October 17 -20, Jason took part in a puppet training for a local church. They had about 100 puppets they’d personally made, locked up in a closet, because they had not yet been trained to use them. The training was a success (for all ages!) and not only for that church, but for all the other churches that joined us, 60 people total. There are plans for another children’s workshop in the future! The hosting church also asked Jason to come back to construct their children’s ministry center (like he did for another church) and a playground area. We are excited to see how this relationship continues.
October 25- 27, 29 we trained 19 people at Song Pranee Church in Kidsquest (www.kidsquestthailand.com). Their team of children workers, children and youth held an outreach with 53 kids, 24 of whom gave their heart to the Lord! Follow up is crucial , so please keep them in prayer.
