Holiday Fun

For the last five weeks we have been away from home and living out of suitcases. For three and a half of those weeks we were in Bangkok attending meetings. For the middle ten days we escaped to the beach ... our favourite hiding place in all of Thaialnd, Prajuab. OMF's wonderful holiday home there, complete with beach, pool, meals, laundry, library and videos is a perfect get away for us as a family. The kids treat it like a second home and have usually planned their whole holiday before we even get into the car. This year was no exception! Ten wonderful days of rest, relaxation and happy family memoried left us all refreshed and ready to go again for the new term

Praise God for this wonderful provision for us as missionaries. Beautiful creation and wonderful mission home managers all help to make a wonderful holiday
Praise God too for time to reconnect as a family and to enjoy uninterupted time together away from the pressure of the Youth House ministry.

Evangelism Training for Staff Team

October 22-26 the CTSM staff team joined us in Bangkok for a week of evangelism training. This time we were also joined by four TCS national staff. As well as bible studies, prayer and training we also had lots of fun making TexMex together and relaxing over ice-cream! The finale of the week was to go out together to a local night market to put into practise all we had discussed - tracting, surveys, preaching, testimonies, free literature, music and drama all enabled local people to hear the Good News of Jesus Christ.

Praise God for his goodness to us during this week as we led and encouraged others to think about evangelism.

Pray that our team will be able to pass on what they have learnt to their students in the coming weeks as each Youth House looks at ACTive Evangelism in the book of Acts and as we gear up for the big evangelistic opportunities at Christmas.
