Dear Marshall and Vision Team,
Praise the Lord for all the wonderful things He is doing and the 15 young students who accepted Christ! Keep up the good work Tom in your preaching, and Vision in your singing and sharing. I am praying for you all daily. Take care and keep well, and Blessings!
Warmly,
Siang Yang

--Wednesday, July 4Happy Independence Day! We have asked Du to cook hot dogs for lunch today so we can celebrate today with you back home to remember our freedom which we will be rapidly losing if we don't center our nation back to God. The guys room is smaller than the girl's and they are all packed like sardines. 16 girls have to shower and wash their long hair using one weak spraying shower. They have succeeded so far by showering in shifts at night, that is, they go to sleep while one showers and then wakes the next person to shower. We talked about moving the girls (or guys) to our guest house (we are paying only $15 a room per night - two in a room - so it is not that much of an expense, $120 a day for 8 rooms) but the group decided they want to do this hard life, at least for a while. They feel God has a lesson in this for us. Joseph is staying at the guest house since we feel it is important for his health, as he is recovering from his viral attack.This morning, we left 30 minutes later to sing at Dara Academy's chapel service from 8 to 8:30. We sang in an outdoor sheltered structure to over 1000 students. Jeremy shared his testimony about trusting God for his sister's pregnancy. After we sang, we went to inspect their chapel where we will sing tomorrow and since we had some time before our next concert, we broke into small groups to do our devotions. We then spiffed up our puppet skit and left to Prince Royal College where we sang to about 400 seventh grade students. Holy shared how she came to believe in Jesus 2 years ago when she met Vision in Indonesia and we performed the heart skit with Eric and Nadia really connecting with the young kids. After Pastor Tom gave his message on the pearl of great price, 15 young students prayed to receive Christ. This time, the school was prepared to take their names so they could follow up on these new believers. We are so grateful to God for these and are sure the angels are rejoicing also. The school had boxed Pad Thai lunch prepared for us but we also had hot dogs waiting for us so we took the Pad Thai back home with us. It turns out we ate all the Pad Thai as well as most of the hot dogs. We then washed our clothes at the self serve laundromat since we have worn our blue polos for 2 days and need them tomorrow morning (schools here are very formal so we cannot wear T-shirts) and rested before leaving at 3:30.We arrived at the government handicapped hospital at 4 PM and it was so warm and humid here, the first time since we arrived that the weather was uncomfortable. We met up with Pastor Nippon, his wife, and two sons who seems to also do some ministry at this government facility. There were about 300 handicapped children of all ages there. We sang or about 50 minutes, Nadia shared her testimony, and we did the puppet skit along with all the songs Because it is a government facility, we did not give a Gospel message or alter call but just relied on the explanation of the songs and the Holy Spirit to speak to the kids.After the hospital, we went back to the Light for Kids orphanage where we ate dinner with the kids in hot muggy weather. At 6:30, we started our concert at the church that Pastor Nippon started, the Saeng Thai Church with members from the orphanage and neighborhood families. However, it was mostly the orphans and staff who were there, along with a few of their friends. Cindy and Jason shared their testimonies and we prayed for the orphans and staff a the end of our program (after watching some videos about the ministry of the orphanage). We returned home tired and exhausted, mainly because of the heat.
