We have been quite busy for the last few months. Last February, we were invited again to teach the kids and adults at Baan Glory (House of Glory). This ministry helps the marginalized people who cross the Thai-Burma border. We were there for a week. We held a watercolor camp for both the kids and adults. We witnessed how they can progress from not knowing how to hold a brush, to making an incredible painting at the culmination of the event.
The long and backbreaking trip from Bangkok to Sangkhlaburi is all worth it. We have
been teaching the same kids online for the past month, but because of some limitations (wifi connection, language, & personal touch), we have decided to teach them the basic face-to-face and continue the advanced lessons online.
On the last day of the event, we had a competition in two categories, abstract and non-abstract. The winners were all happy to receive their prizes, but more importantly, they were able to experience how to paint beautifully without knowing that they can do it. PRAISE THE LORD!
When we arrived in Bangkok, we immediately prepared for our English Summer Camp for our teenage students. These students are enrolled in a prestigious school for gifted students. We taught these teenagers weekly for the whole duration of their summer break.
Most of them would log in early for our Zoom meetings, I’m
always tickled pink when that happens because I know they are excited to attend my class. I get comments like “I did not know how to make English sentences, until now”, “I like that I can talk in English with you & my classmates”, “I like listening to you”. They have decided to continue their English classes even during their semester!
Richard & I are so privileged to be able to teach all these kids and to show them the tangible love of Christ. All these are possible through your support and most of all your encouraging words and prayers.
