{FECA Vision Choir} Trip report 1

June 30 - Saturday
We got in around 11 PM last night. Arriving in Chiang Mai is great, a small airport so we got through immigration in about 20 minutes and got all our luggage (praise God).
We were met by Ching and Thang Ngaihte, Pastor Gampon, and Geraldine, Tim and Andrew who were here for a few days on vacation. We got to the City Gate Church before midnight, got everyone settled and had a good but short sleep.
Because of jet lag, we were up fairly early and had a wonderful breakfast cooked by one of the lady staff from the church. Auntie Sue has stomach problems so please pray for her as she stayed in the guest house today. The rest of us went to a special house dedication service. One of Pastor Gampon's members bought a new house and we were invited to sing at this service. We got there at 10 for what turned out to be a 2 hour service. We sang Jesus, Name Above All Names and reminded the guests (about 60) that we should enjoy God's blessings here, but to "lay up our treasures in heaven". There was another group of visitors there who are interns to encourage their church members to be missional. Two were from Cameroon, one from Ghana, 3 from the US (including a girl who is a student at APU and works for the Glendale Fire Dept.) led by a lady pastor from Hong Kong. They sang a couple of worship songs and it was a joy to meet them.
After lunch at the house, we went to a shopping mall so we could exchange $ for bahts. Mei and I got separated from the group but found each other after about 40 minutes. We are now back at the church and guest house and Pastor Tom will be leaving in a few minutes to go pick up the Indonesian team (Czrilla, Nadia and Aaron from the US and Tia, Jessie, Holy, Andrew and Glory).
