Sunday, July 19
It is quite comfortable here in Chiang Mai with a high of about 82, lots of cloud cover and rain at night, and we do have A/C in our rooms, so almost everyone slept very well, 8 to 10 hours; therefor, as we met for breakfast at eight, everyone looked refreshed, praise God. Last night, we prayed especially for Samantha, who had a tickle in her throat and she says she is all well this morning. Praise the Lord! We met for breakfast at about eight and spent over an hour doing our group devotions from 1 Chron. 16:28-36. We left to attend the Inter-tribal church Sunday service. After worship singing, we sang five songs and Joshua shared his testimony about his journey of learning to say yes to God. Right after we sang, we left to teach a Sunday School class to about 20 preschool and young elementary children held at the back of the church, missing out on Thang Ngaihte's message which he preached in Thai (so we couldn't understand him anyway). Katie led the children in several activity songs which were the songs taught in FECG's VBS earlier this summer. Jayme taught a short Bible lesson how Jesus loved children and Hannah then led a craft activity to make the five color beads bracelet, explaining that the five colors, yellow, black, red, white and green respectively stand for God's love, sin separating us from God, Jesus dying to redeem us, forgiveness through Jesus, and receiving eternal life. We then gave each child a bookmark with the same color scheme which each child can share with their parents. We were treated to a delicious lunch cooked and served by the church members and then left to join the youth service at the First Thai Church of Chiang Mai.
At this service, we joined about forty young people, mostly in their teens and early twenties in worship. We sang for about 20 minutes and Katie shared her testimony. Then we listened to a message from Pastor Golf on how to follow Jesus' example to grow in wisdom, stature, and in favor with God and men (Luke 2:52), sharing in small groups as he taught in Thai and English. We hung out and fellowshipped with the youth and then attended the worship service at the Chiang Mai a Community Church which rents First Thai Church sanctuary at 4:30. This is an all English service attended by missionaries from all over the world who are ministering in Chiang Mai so we had a chance to just enjoy the service instead of ministering. After service, we went to the Big C mall and ate at the food court, returned back to debrief the day and thank God for a good day. We are all quite tired since we are still partially jet lagged so we went off before 9 PM to clean up and sleep.
