Pray for Thai Students with prayer guide

More than 100,000 students are studying in universities and technical colleges across central Thailand. These universities and colleges are places of influence, producing some of the key social and political leaders of the future. Challenging the thinking of these Thai young people is vital if we want to see a new generation of influential believers.
This new prayer guide from OMF will inform, enthuse and equip you to pray for these students. Only £2.00 plus p&p.

Retreat at the Pines 2009

This year of our retreat we went to the Pines again but still was a very good place. This year our team was bigger because we invited the Staff from Bangkok to join us. See the slideshow!

If you want to know what happened in this retreat, listen to the song and you'll know! It's called "The Pines"

The Pines

Composed by: A.J. Young & J.R. Orchard

All the English drinking tea
The Thais have gone to Seven (Seven Eleven)
Here we are on our retreat
A little piece of heaven

Go to the laundry, get our clothes
But OH! Who’s pants are these?
Here we are on our retreat
A little bit of peace

CHORUS:    Here at the Pines
Where Christ’s love shines
We’ll have good times
And sing bad rhymes
On our retreat… at the beach

Swim then shower, shower then swim
This is our routine
Here we are on our retreat
So quiet and serene

50 Baht to spend on treats
What a generous price
Here we are on our retreat
Our little paradise (CHORUS)

National Camp 2009

16-25 March, We went to TCS Camp, National Camp. It was a 10-day camp so loooong but praise the Lord that it was a very good chance to encourage the students. 

In this camp Johnny and Ann were responsible lots of teaching. One thing that they did is shown in the picture below... Guess what was he doing? 

"Elder Johnny"

Thank u John & Charis

Thank God for sending these guys to help us! So we took them to the theme park, Dream World. We had lots of fun and when we came back home, we were surprised cause the students waited us and decorated house for us with lovely balloons!!!

The picture above: Tam and John rode Viking. Look at their faces espeacially Tam.

These are silly photos. Ahhh! Tam was sick after he rode a ride called "Spider" just before we left for the last ride. Because it was about close time, not many people were in a queue so they let people in this round played for longer that usual. When he came down he was sickkkk!!! lol

Thank u again, John and Charis!!!

Bowling with our team

on the Feb, 27th after we finished staff training, World Missions, we went to bowling to celebrate Julia's Birthday! Sshhhh!! she turned 40 already! Oops! but she still serve God with all her heart with students who younger than her for 20 years!!! God can use anyone who has heart, right?

Here's the cake and... we also celebrate Tam's birthday as well. His Birthday was 1st March. It's not Josh's birthday but he was patiently waiting for his cake :P

Cardboard testimonies

None stop!

Tam, the apprentice who lives with us is happy with foods... When Jonathan and Ashley away, no one can stop him.

Tam is growing a lot with God. His life is encouraging many people around him. You can also pray for him as he is learning how to serve God and working with us.

Goodbye...

Jonathan and Ashley Wallace were with us for about 6-7 months to help us in student ministry. Thank God that he had brought them into our lives and serve Him together! They are not just only co-workers to us but our beloved friends indeed. 

Hello…

There’s something stirring inside my head

That I’ve been wanting to share

Telling my heart to write this song for you

I know this may not be a good song

But it’s coming from my heart

Not even sure I should sing

But for you I’ll make a start

 

When your days getting cold

When your world closes down

Can’t find anyone around please always remember

 

Just know that I’m your friend

No matter what happens

Anywhere I will go just let me know

Cause you can count on me

And know that I’m your friend

And it will never end

With the friendship and honesty devotion so true

So I sing this song as a promise to you

 

I know you’re thinking that I’m cold cement

And that I have no heart

I hope this song will change your mind

If you’re ready I’d like to start

 

Hand in hand forever

We’ll grow old together

Just you and me it’s easy to see

I’ll be your partner for life

ICTHUS

The Greek word for fish is "ixthus" or "icthus." The Christian fish symbol that many Christians place on their cars is known as the “ixthus.” Five Greek letters form the word “ixthus,” and those letters inside the fish form an acrostic which is a message that Christians clearly identified with. The first letter represented the word Jesus. The second letter represented the word Christ, the next two, God Son, and the final letter represented the word Savior. This adds up to “Jesus Christ is God’s Son, the Savior.”

During the early days of Christianity, Christians were often put to death for practicing their faith, so they worshiped in secret places. A fish painted on the outside door of a house let other Christians know that they would be safe and welcome inside.
