We couldn’t help but thank YOU today for being part of “OUR” ministry. As in many parts of the world, this year 2020 started with unexpected challenges of coping with this pandemic.
We were forced to stop our ministry for 3 months. The young students that we have been working with since last year followed the government order against public gatherings because of the fear of possible transmission of the virus. Thank God for allowing the control of the disease from spreading further in this land as only six thousand cases were detected. It soon contributed to the government to ease down on the restrictions for social gatherings with just the order of wearing masks in public as well as 
using hand sanitizers and handwashing when needed. Pretty soon, the kids’ parent sends the children back to meet with us and resume our teaching them. Praise God, what happened next was, we had some additional kids to join the group that we were initially ministering to. We even were able to help some of the parents to minister to their children during the school break between the school terms. We organized a Summer Camp & Winter Camp for different groups of kids. We taught the kids arts, sports, life skills and English. The kids had so much fun, most of the time they would come early & would need 
to be told to go home. In total, we were able to teach 561 kids here in Bangkok!
Some of our ministry expenses here consisted of purchasing some equipment. Instead of travelling to print shops to order some worksheets printed and laminated, we decided to purchase a printer and a laminating machine as well as purchase print paper and plastic laminating pouches. This decision really helped ease the work of preparing worksheets for the kids to use and present them with quality materials. In the beginning, we had the kids watch some video lessons via YouTube on the laptop screen. We noticed that it was not convenient for them as a group to watch on a small screen. So we also decided to buy a 40 inch TV screen with the 
capability of transmitting programs via Wi-Fi and to connect our laptop with an HDMI cable. A good means to introduce Bible stories to the children is with a free app called Superbook created and made available free by CBN Christian Broadcasting Network and meant to be used to young children. A couple of the kids found it so amusing that they are able to sing along with the music theme.
And so it is with joy that we are sharing this good news with you. We continue to thank you for your loving kindness to continue to support M1040 Ministries International as our mission is to teach English, arts, sports, to reach out & spread the Love of JESUS CHRIST in the community.
KHOPKHUN MAK KHA PRACAO THONG DI!
