Listen to His voice calling out to you...

Gen12ii

Tuesday, 10 April 2007

haha my newsletter is out~ for those who do not know, i'll be going to North East Thailand (Khon Kaen) in June for mission trip with Campus Crusade for Christ! Here are some excerpts from my newsletter:

Gen12ii
Gen12ii is a Campus Crusade Missions Project. As a team, we will be heading to Khon Kaen University to share God's love with all who are willing to listen. Each of us have been blessed, and we seek to be a blessing. (I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing... Genesis 12:2)

The People
Isan - North East Thailand is the poorest region in Thailand and most of the residents are farmers. Khon Kaen is the business centre in Isan and in it is situated one of the top 5 universities in Thailand: Khon Kaen University.

What We Will Be Doing
Students reaching students. As students, we have a unique and precious opportunity to connect with fellow Thai University students. We will be doing street witnessing on campus together with the Thai Campus staff, building friendships with the local students through evangelistic parties, doing follow-up with the Christian students, leading them to know Christ and integrating them into the Christian community there.

Being Thai
The Thai people see Christianity as a foreign religion and being a Christian sometimes translates into them losing their Thai roots. Buddhism is deeply rooted in Thai society, and being Thai often means being a Buddhist - 95% of Thais are Buddhists. Pray that God will help them see that being Thai and being a Buddhist is not the same.

Prayer
- Pray that we will go as a team in the love of the Lord.
- God will place in our hearts a love for the students.
- A prayerful, attentive and obedient heart that seeks to serve the Lord.
- Pray for the Thai students, that God will prepare their hearts to receive the Gospel message.

Our Needs
Our trip will be from the 4th to the 25th of June 2007. For this mission trip to be possible, each of us will be trusting the Lord to provide a total of $1200 per person. We would also be needing prayer support from you, to be interceding on our behalf, for us and for the students in Khon Kaen.
