Update from Thailand (12/07/09)

Greetings from Thailand. Today was a particularly fruitful day for our team. We are basically split into 3 teams - Children's team, Youth team and Adults' team.

We went to Tachang Church in the morning. I'm sure many of you who have been to TMT would remember the church and the people there.



The children's programme was based on the Parable of the lost sheep. They also did plenty of sing-along action songs which was a joy to look at and attempt to follow.



The youth team did prophetic art, which was done on T-shirts with fabric markers. Hence every youth went home with a specially hand drawn tee with a message just for them. We were really amazed by the artistic talent and the encouraging messages they had for each other.

The adults received a sermon by uncle Henry. Wan Hsi gave her testimony. The adult team also led worship.

Lunch was awesome. It was Hor fun cooked by the church workers, but of course, to them it was called 'Rat na kuay tiao'.

We went to Thanpraporn Church during the afternoon. We were like busy for the whole day. Anyway, many people from Tachang church also attends Thanpraporn church so they attend church service twice a Sunday. Amazing,huh?

Children's programme was 'I am special' where they all became prince and princesses of God wearing crowns.

The youth team played several icebreakers and games, followed by a testimony by Joyce Goh. We then sang many Thai songs with them. Finally, Eunice shared a message about God's love.

The adult team had a sermon in a room-sized oven that was baking hot. But that was nothing compared to the fire of the Holy Spirit burning within everyone's hearts. When it was ministry time, there was a whole row of people who went out for prayer. There are 3 incredible testimonies. First of all, after ministry, the temperature of the room suddenly went down. Also, a women who had problems walking and shook a lot felt much better after being prayed for. Last of all, a women who had a bent over back actually had her back straightened after being prayed for. Praise the Lord!!"

Oh yeah. Dinner was awesome too.

Cool findings: While exploring the town, we noticed that coffins were available at provisions stores.
