Some exciting things have been happening at our Foundation Center in Saang! Over 17 people have gotten saved in the past week, an awesome harvest for our staff there that have invested a lot of time and love in people's lives. I'm looking forward to going to Saang tomorrow for their weekly youth Bible study... in the past we've had about 40-50 students each week, but their numbers are growing to about 70! Very exciting that people are engaging with God and not just observing. :)
Everything else is going pretty well, I just started an ISOM (International School of Ministry) class with a bunch of the staff; it's an extensive Bible and ministry course that we are doing each Thursday morning. I'm sort of facilitating the class and taking it too... looking forward to learning a lot!
On Tuesday I taught a two-hour First Aid and Safety class for all our staff and the women in our Sak Saum program. There is not a lot of teaching on this subject here, and a lot of misconceptions about how to care for injuries... people can develop gangrene and need a limb cut off simply because they were never taught to clean and protect a small cut! So it's a really important topic and I enjoyed educating the staff about it. It was fun to see them practicing bandaging each other's "wounds" and tying slings out of kramas (a common regional scarf that they used for practice).
Actually the timing for that class was perfect, because that night one of the teachers on staff, Solomon, had to care for his brother after a moto accident! Fortunately his brother is recovering just fine.
Hope you all are well, feel free to comment or e-mail me!
God bless,

Hi Em,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update. Wonderful things are happening in the ministry there, praise His Name! How exciting!!! I miss you very much. Last night after music practice we were talking about how it's just not the same without you. So glad that you are walking in His steps though, that's the most important thing = )
Love you!
