Praise God, Jeff is quite well this morning, so everyone except U Marsh, A Mei, A Sue and Jaspher went to the elephant camp. Jaspher could not go because he needs to go back daily to the clinic to get his toe cleaned and disinfected. U Marsh stayed back to work on his message for Sunday. Pastor Tong Kam came to bring Jaspher to the clinic and also went to the bank to get more cash for the remainder of our trip here. A Sue came back to have lunch with Pang and Bee. Ging, the church administrator also went to lunch but Sue did not get a chance to confront these two girls with the claims of Jesus. U Marsh, A Mei, Jaspher and Pastor Tong Kam went to lunch at the food court and had a good time talking about Tong Kam's burdens and came back home to pray for him.toto
Meanwhile back at the elephant camp, Vision had a fun and awesome time! We first went water rafting for about forty minutes. It was such a peaceful time and God's creation is truly beautiful here in Thailand. One group ministered to the steerer of their raft so please pray that Dam will come to know Jesus. After the water rafting, we saw an elephant show where the elephants performed tricks. One elephant even painted a picture! We then rode on the elephants and that was quite the experience! It was quite a bumpy ride but quite enjoyable. After the elephant ride, the oxen took us back to the top and then we had their lunch buffet. The elephant camp was relaxing for Vision and a great way to wind down from a crazy tour.
Vision spent the rest of the afternoon and early evening shopping. We got the chance to visit a ceramic and umbrella factory. We then went to Airport Central Plaza Mall to do some more shopping. One of the girls' was able to share with a transvestite shop owner. Please pray that the shopping owner will come to know Jesus and His love. Pastor Gampon shared with Czrilla and Reina his testimonies about how following after Jesus can be hard and overwhelming at times but was able to testify that God is still good despite the trials that he and his family had to face. His testimonies were a great encouragement to both Czrilla and Reina in their pursuance of God and His heart for the world.
We came back home for another great home cooked dinner, then debriefed our day and had small group devotions ending with a little time for the whole group to share. Tomorrow, we start our debriefing. This is a very important time for us to recall how we have heard God on this trip and make resolutions about how we need to,live when we return home. Pray for the Holy Spirit to guide our time together.
