Thai School

How to even begin to describe today's amazing blessing of visiting the local Christian school! Our VBS went very well; teaching the children all about the Good News of creation and Christ's birth and resurrection all morning definitely brought joy to all of our hearts. Thank you all so much for your prayers in relation to our endeavors to share the Gospel with the kids today. In the afternoon, we got to play soccer, volleyball, foursquare, handball, basketball, jump rope, and so much more! We also got the chance to talk with the high school seniors, who spoke a decent amount of English, to find out what life as a teenager in Thailand is really like. After a short visit to the Christian Mission Hospital across the street, we came back to the hotel to get ready for dinner at Escape Bistro. A quick stroll through a street vendor market rounded out another awesome day in Lampang!






The day started off with a Thai worship service.
