{FECA Vision Choir} Trip Report 7

Apparently, more than 15 girls accepted the Lord last night. There were 17! PTL!

Friday, July 24
Our schedule today is like yesterdays', quick breakfast and group devotions from the last few verses in Zephaniah. Then we returned to Projects for Asia, breaking into two groups, one to teach music and one to teach arts and crafts. Each team taught two 45 minute classes to different aged classes. After this, we joined them in chapel service. They led about 30 minutes of heartfelt worship with a lot of interaction among the worshippers; many of us could sense the presence of the Lord here. Vision then sang a few acapella songs and Michael gave a spirit-led testimony and encouraged the young children how much God loves us even if we feel inadequate or disappointed with ourselves. We sang "In His Time" and did the heart skit, sang our Thai song and Sue gave a short message addressed to the younger children. But the Spirit took the message and called 14 children to receive the Lord for the first time, including two older children. Praise and thank you, God. We ate box lunches and 12 of our group left to visit an umbrella factory. The rest of us when to a discount warehouse store called Makro to buy food for the next several days' breakfasts. Before we left, we found out that there are 6 children who still need full or partial sponsorship. Living costs are $60 a month and schooling $40 a month, so full sponsorship is $100 a month. There are 5 girls, ages 9, 13, 14, 14, 17 and a 17 year old boy. More information how to support or sponsor a child can be found on projectsforasia.com or by replying to this email and we will get you in contact with Lenora.

After the umbrella factory group returned, we debriefed our experiences last night and this morning, thanking God for the precious lives who have become God's children. Indeed, Vision is so fortunate to be used by God to harvest what so many other short term teams, teachers, and the house parents have done to cultivate and plant the seeds of new life in these youngsters, so when we give the invitation, they are ready to respond. After practicing a few songs to correct some mistakes, we then went to the fourth Remember Nhu orphanage, their newest one with 20 boys, mostly younger kids. After dinner, we played frisbee, badminton, etc. and gave a short program. Terry shared his testimony and when Sue gave her bridge message, 11 boys raised their hands to receive the Lord. After the meeting, when Sue prayed for several of the boys who accepted the Lord, two other boys came up to her and said I want to accept the Lord too, but I didn't want pray with everyone else, so 13 of the 20 boys became believers tonight! Praise God! Mike and Elsie gave each of us a purple Remember Nhu, Thailand T-shirt and we returned home. Tonight marks one week since we left LA and we also thank God this has been the healthiest trip for Vision ever, with only one person sick with fever (and only for less than 24 hours). Thanks to the excellent accommodation here at the OMF Mekong Guest House and your prayers.
