I'm writing this from a internet cafe in Thailand! First, the students finished strong in lecture phase. We had some really good times in our one on ones, walking with them in different area of there lives where God was growing them has been an awesome journey. My guys and the school in general have grown so much in those 12 weeks.
To prepare the students for outreach we scheduled 2 hours of outreach preparation time per week. During these times we had them conduct a research project which covered the seven spheres of society: economy, religion, government, media, education, family, and health. We also included basic language learning, cross-cultural communication, and basic intro to Theravada Buddhism(The buddhism of southeast asia) and Thai culture.
As some of you know we will be working with Jim Larson at The Well in which we will be working with at risk children, red light district outreach, and ministry to his current Well students. Recently we went into a couple red light districts for a prayer walk and to meet some of the girls who worked there to make relationships with them. It was really intense to see the girls pain in their eyes and to see them being used. We left feeling pretty hopeless but then the next day we had a socializing time to get acquainted with the students at The Well. There is hope and redemption for the girls in the bars and we want to show them that by coming along side The Well and making relationships with the girls.
Pictures coming soon!
