Bangkok Update for May 8th

There are a few back issues that will be posted shortly. This is the email for May 8th from our team at work in Bangkok:


Hello Every one,
Hope that all of you are doing well. On Monday our team got the chance to experience a different side of Bangkok. Ann, Bonita, and our English students took us on a tour of the Grand Palace. It was quite hot but we managed to explore and take in the beauty of it all. After that we took a boat down a river to a small island where we shopped and got to meet some of the locals. It was good to experience the peaceful island and escape the business of down town Bangkok. After that we took the boat back down and enjoyed a nice diner, as well as getting to know the girls more.
Today (Tuesday) we went to the center and spent the morning performing skits. We demonstrated English words for the girls, centered around the theme of getting up in the morning. It was quite fun and the girls seem to learn alot. An amazing part was that three new girls came to the center. That was truly a blessing from God and good to see His abundant faithfulness.
In the afternoon we went and visited the massage parlors. We divided into groups and headed out. It was nice to get to know new girls and continually plant seeds in the hearts of these women. We have all found that though we are here to reach out to the women, they in return honor us in opening their hearts to us.
After dinner the team went to Soi 1 which contains a dozen or so bars. Some of the team reconnected with girls they had meet last week. They were able to share more of their stories and to grow in their realtionships. God has been so good to us and we constantly are feeling connections that deepen and grow between both the girls at the center, and the girls in the bars.
Thank you so much for your prayers and emails- they mean so much to us and keep us going!
