Thursday July 23
A few of the girls prayed for Jayme's healing before we left for the orphanage last night. This morning, Jayme is smiling and her fever is gone! Thank you, Lord. We ate breakfast and started our group devotions at 7:30 from John 16:19-24 because we are not sure how much time we have later in the day. We left at 8:20 to go to the Projects for Asia orphanage. This is a wonderful holistic orphanage and home schooling ministry for hill tribes children (www.projectsforadia.com) started by a lady named Lenora and her husband nine years ago (they did similar ministry before that in the Philippines and have work inIndia). Because the children come from the hill tribes, they learn English (in the morning) and Thai in the afternoon. The children, a total of 71 kids, range from preschool to high school, including 6 graduates, 5 who are now in taking college level correspondence classes and serving at the orphanage to teach the younger children. One graduate is going to Bible school in Bangkok on scholarship. This ministry focuses to making disciples for Christ starting when they are children, so they bring their kids on missions trips back to the hill tribes, where the children are able to share the Gospel in their mother tongue to their own people. They are currently renting the buildings for their school and dorm but may lose their lease anytime. Then we remembered that the first location (where we went Tuesday night) is for sale or lease since Remember Nhu wants to consolidate their orphanages at the location we went to last night (an eighty acre site with three buildings/orphanages on it. Perhaps God brought us to help make the connections for these two ministries. At 9 AM, the preschool and first/second graders came for their English lesson. We divided them up into a dozen or so groups and taught them in groups of 3-4 kids. At 10, the 4-5th graders came in and again we taught them in small groups so they received a lot of personal tutoring. At 11, the high schoolers (12 years and up) came and we spent one on one time with them, while testing them on their school work. We then ate box lunches Ching had ordered for us, prayed for Lenora that a mole on her leg would prove to be benign as she is going to see the doctor this afternoon. We then returned home to process what we saw last night and this morning as well as do some laundry. We prayed for these two orphanage ministries during our debriefing time. We see there is a great need in Thailand for Christian teachers (only about half the teachers at Projects for Asia are Christians and Prince Royal College only had 20% Christian teachers, for example).
