Sunday, July 15
Today is our last day of ministry. We ate breakfast at 7 AM and Boyle's van arrived to bring Joe, Eugene, Czrilla, Nadia, Aaron, Holy, Tia, and Jessie to the airport at 7:30. It was difficult to see Holy, Tia and Jessie off since we do not know when we will see them again as we are not sure what we can do with them next summer yet. Jaspher is feeling achy and tired and Jeff is also quite tired while Jeremy is losing his voice while the girls are generally OK.
Boyle's van returned along with Moses' van to being us to Blessings Church for their 10 AM service. There were a lot of visitors at the service so the room was quite filled (about 150) people. We had a good time of worship and they turned the meeting over to us at 10:45. We sang simpler songs because our numbers are down and several had bad throats. A. Sue shared about our trip and U. Marsh preached on Peter walking on the water, stressing on listening to God, obeying (sometimes taking risks), and keeping our focus on the Lord. For each of these three points, the kids shared their testimonies - Natalie on listening to God tell her to lead the group in worship the night God's anointing came, Andrew on taking risks at the night market and getting lost (and found), and Denise on losing focus by flying bugs at the village. God gave him just enough voice to be able to speak and be heard through the sound system. Praise God, everything just fitted together. Andrew and Cindy's rendition of heart skit was delightful. We ended the service at noon and had lunch at the church before returning back home. Ching took one van to drive Sue to the airport while one van drove the kids that wanted to go to a nearby local shopping place to buy souvenirs while some rested at the church.
The shopping van returned about 3 and a few minutes after that, it started to rain so hard. We realized if it rained like this a week ago, we would not have been able to go to the village, again, it is God's timing. We are supposed to leave at around 3:30 to go to sing at Chiangmai Community Church, our last program here. At 3:25, the rain slowed to a light shower. Jaspher is feeling better and joined us. This also served to cool the place since the church meets at the same place we sang last Sunday morning, except this is an ex-pat and missionary all English speaking service. We only had about 15 minutes to sing and no time for skits or testimonies, but we enjoyed the time there. We returned to finish packing, e at dinner, and maybe we can do devotions before we end out to the airport. So this is our last message from Chiangmai.
