Hello everyone! We just got back into Chiangmai after spending a week in a Hmong village called pan-a-non-kok (something like that) We performed natural remedies on the sick as well as health lectures. We are about to edit our footage so shortly we should have another video for you all to watch. Thanks for all the prayers!

Hey guys. We just arrived back in Chiangmai from our excursion in north Thailand. About 53 students arrived today from La Sierra University to help us finish the construction of a school on Pastor Phamor's land, so for the next week or so we will be stacking bricks.

Keep praying for us, and any Donations will be more than appreciated. We need money not only for our traveling but for the schools we are working with. A little goes a long way here. Thanks for keeping track of us, we have not forgot you guys. Have a good week and Happy Sabbath!

Beyotah School

2008-07-22T22:26:00.000-07:00

I am writing you guys from a government school in a village called Beyotah, where my friend Ben has been teaching english for the past 2 months. The village is literally in the middle of nowhere. Many of the villagers have never seen a paved road before. Although it is a Thai school, the majority of the students are Karen. I was asked to teach English for 2 class periods, I agreed and discovered that I know have a lot more respect for my fellow teachers back home. The religious background is mainly Buddhism. In fact, a Major from the Thai military arrived yesterday, and today he has been teaching the school about the 8 fundamental virtues of Buddhism. Even though the school's curriculum is mainly eastern religions, EOP missions have donated several building to the campus, which provides us with virtually no resistance in sharing Christianity. -Robd

This is all the medicines that you will find in the clinic. They have a limited supply of what they do have, but items such as IV fluids and needles are hard to come by.

These are pictures of an adventist school in southeast Asia. There are around 120 students that attend there, some dorm and others live in the near by villages. The kids loved us, the grades ranged from kingdergarden to 5th grade. Their classrooms are no more than bamboo huts.

Mela Camp

2008-07-19T23:12:00.000-07:00

Hello from Mae Seraing, As of now, we headed back from a series of Karen refugee camps in north Thailand, It has been an incredible experience! The camp we spent the most time at (Mela Camp) is home to more than 80,000 refugees, the living conditions are extremely unsanitary and I will be posting pictures as soon as I have better internet access. We visited a series of Adventist schools that have been set up in part by EOP Missions, I have been asked to compile a short video for 3ABN, I will for sure send a copy to the Springtown church, so anyone who is reading this from springtown, you guys should hopefully see it in church sometime, anyone else who wants a copy, email me your mailing address to my southern address with your name and I will see what I can do. I will write more about our experiences at the schools when i put more pics up, until then God bless! and keep us in your prayers!

Training

2008-07-02T04:53:00.000-07:00

So we are now somewhere around 2 weeks into the training and so far we are still standing. I could not tell you the date or what day it is or anything that is happen on the news. Its pretty crazy to be almost completely isolated from the world. I am most impressed with the training, we have been learning about how to give many types of massages, how to address all the different diseases with natural remedies and a group from the Aenon health facility in Malaysia has come for the last 2 weeks teaching us about the anotamy of the body.

We have just undergone our first day of actual training, and I must say it is an intense experience. Unfortunetly I did not eat before i got to the village only to discover that we were going to be fasting for 6 days. So far I have made it 2 days. I will write more in a couple days or so if i am still concious.

2008-06-19T12:30:00.000-07:00
