Chris' Update Dec 28th

[Chris]

Well first off I am glad I can Finally let you all know that I am alive!  Things have been really on the go since I have been here. Ill pick up where Justin left off with us parting our ways.  Once the Thailand teams left we headed out to the Ywam Bangkok base.  For the first day we got an orientation on Thai culture and walked the streets a bit.  The second day we took a tour of Bangkok - hopping on buses boats and sky trams to get to different key Buddhist temples for prayer walking.  Soon after that we were on a bus to Chaing Mai (up in northern Thailand where we will be staying) we met up with a pastor who took us to an orphanage where we were going to stay.  Were...because it was in the middle of flippin no where.  It was really cool though.  It is a small small property with only three also small buildings.  The toilets were all squattys (see pic of me in Japan) and the shower was a bucket.  I was all happy with it, except for the fact that we were stuck there isolated to any ministry outside of the 10 child orphanage.  It would have been awesome to help them out and play with the kids - but we decided to try and get a place to stay in the city.  I am planning on going back up there at some point during this trip to help out.  So we have a temporary place to stay for two nights here in the city - but after that, we dont have a place.

Since the outreach started I have not slept in the same place twice:

Kona

Plane

Hotel

Ywam Base Bangkok

Orphanage

Hotel.

 

"on the move" is a pretty accurate description of our status at the moment

 

Prayer points:

 

Please pray for...

God to lead us through every day

a permanent place for us to stay

Merry's back (all the moving around and odd sleeping arrangements has been hard on her)

conflict to be resolved between a leader and I

 

I wish I could post pictures but I am at a computer that doesnt allow me to do so.

 

Love you guys!
