No new post in a month… no I didn’t drop off the face of the earth, but I have been traipsing around Thailand, and Europe, in that time! A quick timeline… Mid-July: Quest with the Evangel team and Scott and Julie. We went to a waterfall and had activities at each level. What fun! There was a little rain but the students enjoyed it. Some […]
A busy summer
I have been negligent in posting pictures and writing about all the fun I’m having lately, mostly because I’ve been so busy taking pictures and having fun! Here are just a few things we’ve been up to lately at TLC English Center. Thanks go to a team from Evangel University and two volunteers from Wisconsin, who helped with so much over the last two months! […]
Have I mentioned lately…
WE NEED TEACHERS! TLC English Center is in need of teachers starting August 10th! Can you help? Check out this site for more information, or contact me. Let anyone else know too who may be interested. Teaching English is a great way to get to know Thai students, build relationships with them, and introduce them to Christ. Please ask God how you can be involved!
QUEST the Second
On April 2nd we took about 10 students plus several TLC church members to Bua Tong Waterfall for our second QUEST event. (Read about the first one here.) It was a great time to build friendships with our students and give them a clear presentation of the Gospel. Seeds were planted — pray that they fall on fertile soil!
Buddies and Baseball
I haven’t posted in awhile, because I had a surprise visitor!!! My great friend from college, Charity, came to visit for two weeks. One week she stayed with me and we hung out, saw the city, and painted a few walls in my house! The next week she was working for a missions conference, but we still got to spend time together in the evenings. […]
QUEST ที่แรก (the first)
This Sunday we had an afternoon event for students who were interested in learning more about Christianity. We called it “Quest” – for people who are on a quest searching for God. It was a great afternoon! First we played some fun games that had a searching theme… (did you know that hygenic face masks make great blindfolds?!) We sang some songs together, and then […]
Party like it’s Christmastime!
Last Friday night we had a Christmas party for our students. We don’t have snow in Thailand (most Thai people have never seen snow) so we substituted crumpled up paper and divided into teams for a snowball fight: What’s a Christmas party without gingerbread houses? Scott and Julie, our teachers, made gingerbread for the students to build and decorate houses, something else they’d never done […]
Moooooore Students!
The last four weeks have been a little quiet, since the students had 2 weeks of finals and 2 weeks of break and couldn’t study English for that time. We still had classes, but they were smaller than normal. Well guess what, they’re back! The students have returned to Chiang Mai for their second semester and we are full to the brim of students! We […]
Transform Your Life! at English Camp
We had English Camp July 10-11. Due to the overwhelming popularity of the new Transformers movie, we decided to theme the camp “Transform Your Life” and talk about different things that change us, including a relationship with Jesus. Because of the university schedule and the intensity of midterms, only three students came. Two of those students, Dee and Leemer, are TLC church members. Bawn, the other student, […]
CoffEEEEE Shop!
That’s “coffee” in a Thai accent! Here are some pictures of the coffee shop at TLC. The first is Apple enjoying some cookies as Pong and David work. The second is a few months ago, before the menu boards were up. And students enjoy the coffee shop on a Friday night!
