Days 6 and 7!

Day 6 - Bangkok

We went back to the slum community that we visited yesterday (day 5) with King’s Kids ministry. On Saturday mornings, King’s Kids ministry goes to the community to teach Bible lessons, sing songs, play games, etc. to the kids there. Our team taught the kids “Making Melodies”. Just like the kids at the school at Ratchaburi, the kids in this community had fun learning the motions and singing the song.

After singing a few more songs, one of the King’s Kids leaders read the story of Moses and the burning bush. When he finished reading the story, he asked the kids some questions and it was encouraging to see how excited they were to answer the questions.

We also got to play some games with the kids. Even though most of us weren’t able to communicate with the kids, we all had fun playing with them and the kids were not shy to play or interact with us. 

Later that afternoon we took a short flight to Chiang Rai, rode on the back of the extremely bumpy Khaodee trucks (where one of our members managed to sleep through the entire ride), and arrived at Khaodee. SAWADEE KHAODEE!!!

Day 7 - Chiang Rai

Today was our first Sunday in Thailand. What better way to start our time in Khaodee than Sunday worship with the children. It’s always a blessing worshiping at Khaodee. Even though everyone in the worship room doesn’t speak the same language, it was a blessing praising God together.

During our time here at Khaodee, our team will be playing games with the kids that ties into salvation. Tonight was our first night and we played a game called “River Crossing”. The kids were very competitive in trying to complete the game. The point of the game was for each team of about 8-9 people to cross the river using 5 rafts. Any time someone stepped into the river, the team would have to start over again. Unlike the game where you have to start over again when you step into the river, as Christians, we don’t have to start our relationships with God over again each time we sin.

“All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will

never drive away. For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do

the will of him who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall

lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. For my

Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have

eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.” John 6:37-40
