{FECA Vision Choir} Home safely!

Our flight from Guangzhou to LAX was delayed over an hour so we landed a little past nine instead of eight. By the time we cleared immigration (which was very quick given their new system), we had to wait for our luggage. Unfortunately, Josh is missing a bag (and lots of other people were also missing bags) but the rest of us all got our bags. Josh had to report it missing and the airline promised to deliver his bag (if it shows up tomorrow) to his home. Otherwise, the flight was uneventful although very long (over 13 hours, but an hour shorter than going there).

One item about our flight from Chiang MI to Bangkok. Because that leg of the flight was considered a domestic flight, instead of 2 free bags and 50 lbs per bag, Thai Air's policy is 30 kg (66 lbs) per person, any number of bags. But God's grace covered us even there. Marshall's two bags together weighed in at 29.5 kg and everyone else easily met the limit (because we carried so many gifts and books going there, our luggage was much less coming back).

So praise God we are all back (not sure when Eric returns from Manila) safely! We have been so blessed to be able to go on this mission trip. Please come to our Home Concert, Saturday August 15, 7:30 at FECG.

Re: {FECA Vision Choir} More trip report 17

Aug. 03, 2015

Greetings to all! This is Eugene Cheng, travel agent for VISION.

For the parents and well-wishers who wish to meet their loved ones at LAX Tom Bradley International Terminal on China Southern's CZ327, the original eta (estimated time of arrival) was 7:45 p.m. tonight.

However, due to a delayed take off from Guangzhou, the flight's new eta is now at 8:54 p.m. (almost 9 o'clock).

With immigration and customs, allow approximately an hour before the members will actually exit to the public area.

Sing unto the Lord!

Eugene

Just a reminder to come to our Home Concert on Saturday, August 15, 7:30 PM at FEC Glendale.  We are so eager to share what God has done.

{FECA Vision Choir} Trip report 17

Monday, August 3
We ate a light breakfast, some went to buy gifts from Partner's, and we all managed to get our suitcases into the two vans by 9 AM. Ching and Thang prayed for us and went with us to see us off at the airport. We got to the airport and encountered a glitch. Because we are flying Thai Airlines to Bangkok and then China Southern to LA via Guangzhou, we could not check our bags all the way through but only to Bangkok. We then have to go through immigration in Bangkok and check our bags to LA there. We only have a two hour layover in Bangkok to do all this so pray we can make our flight.

{FECA Vision Choir} Trip report 16

Sunday, August 2
On the eve of our return back to the States, we are so grateful for all the prayer covering as well as the fruit of souls God allowed us to harvest. This has been by far the healthiest tour in Vision history, with one person missing only one event due to illness and a recovery in less than 24 hours. The three old folks were also able to participate fully in all the events. Marshall, by God's grace, was able to stand when needed and his hip joint pain (which comes if he stands or walks too much) never bothered him when there was ministry to do.

We ate toast with Crunchy Cookie Butter and wonderful papayas and mangos (bought the mangos at the Shan village last Monday) plus assorted left over fruit such as mangosteen, sala, bananas,and longan, for breakfast, started our group devotions, and left at 9:35 for Blessings Church. Fortunately, the church is only about 10 minutes from home, so arrived in plenty of time before their 10 AM service started. They worshipped enthusiastically for 45 minutes, then we observed the Lord's Supper together for about 15 minutes. After this, we spent at least 15 minutes praying for the sick, who came forwarded to be prayed for. Among them is a man with (probably) cerebral palsy who was a complete invalid but after previous prayer, was able with help to limp to the front and receive more prayer. A young man, a medical doctor, testified how his father, dying with liver cancer, after prayer and chemo, is now able to eat and his (virus?) count went from a million down to 80,000. We then sang four songs and Gentle shared his testimony between the songs. It was now about 11:40. We went downstairs to teach the children songs and Bible stories but since Mother's Day (the Queen's birthday) is coming, we found the children busy trying to complete their Mother's Day card, so we were served lunch instead. We met up with Joshua, a youth from Germany sent by Gampon Kumdee to help out at Blessings Church (we met him and four other German youths on Tuesday). When the children finished, they came to eat lunch and we started to teach them a couple of VBS songs at about 12:15 (the adults finally finished their service a few minutes before 12:30) and then Jayme taught them the David and Goliath story. After this. We taught them some craft, teaching them how to make the five color bead bracelet and the meaning of the colors. We also gave them the colored bookmark with the same color sequence and containing Bible verses. Finally, we prayed for the children and returned home to complete our group devotions.

{FECA Vision Choir} Trip report 15

Saturday August 1
We only had time to eat our breakfast this morning before leaving at 8:30 to Connie's Home, a home which houses about 30 young children from a few days old until about five years old to ready them for international adoption. We met Connie, her husband, and three of her five children (the other two are married and live in the U.S.). The youngest is about fourteen, who was the first child in Connie's home as they adopted her thirteen years ago. You can read more by going to Facebook and search for "connie's home". Without raising funds, God has provided them finances for three buildings located on a large piece of land on the outskirts of Chiang Mai which Connie's cousin the the States bought and gave to her. The first building is where Connie's family lives with most of the younger children. The second houses some younger and the older children, and the third house is where the helpers and nannies live. Volunteers and interns also live in the second house. In back of the third house is their hydroponics garden where they grow vegetables they eat. In fact, they grow so much food, they have expanded their ministry to feed poor widows. As with Light for Kids, they try to be self sufficient, raising chickens for meat and eggs, and all kinds of fruit and vegetables. They also grow their own tilapia for food and they recycle the water with the fish poop into their hydroponic garden to fertilize their vegetables. They then teach these techniques to the minority farmers so they can become self sustaining. As their ministry grew, Connie also realized they needed more help to take care of more orphans, so she reached out to the juvenile prison (where we visited on Monday) and went through the court system to approve their taking some of these girl inmates to teach them to become nannies. Now they also train girls as "au pair" who then find jobs overseas to care for young children, so their ministry has slowly expanded and become more holistic. After touring the grounds, Vision sang four songs to the children and nannies. Then from ten to eleven, we (along with Connie's three children, two college aged kids back from the U.S. on vacation and an eighteen year old girl who is volunteering for three and a half months named Sara) took care of all 30 children, playing and holding them while Ching and Sue talked to the seven nannies. Four of these girls had already received the Lord. Praise God, two more received the Lord today while the third girl was not yet ready to do so. We reluctantly said our good byes and returned home to eat lunch, do our group devotions on John 14:15-21, and rested before heading out to Ching and Thang's home for an afternoon of fun, swimming (her compound has a pool) and dinner. This photo shows some of the kids with Sara in the top corner in green, Connie's son with the beard in the middle, and Connie in white with her head bowed.
