Day 9 Nong Kwang Village Church

Today was the first day where we actually had a little bit of a sleep in! The girls managed to get a room service massage before brekky, whilst the fellas hit the restaurant after a short run and a light weights session.

The true work began when Mark picked us up and drove us to his house for devotion, and then off for a brief lunch at a nearby establishment.

After our quick bite, we headed off to Nong Kwang Village Church. We all introduced ourselves, but this somehow soon deteriorated into an attempted ‘set up’ session for the single people involved. Eventually Tham Fuan lead a concise, yet most informative and useful leaders session for the local Compassion ministry leaders. They were most encouraged by the advice and prayer given. After that, we gave our ‘final ever performance’ of our finely tuned children’s ministry set. The children were amazing. They fully engaged themselves in the presentation and activities. Towards the end of the session, Dylan and Chris took the older kids outside to hone their Australian football and cricket skills. We are sure there will be a Thai national cricket team in the not too distant future. Whilst this was happening, Lee took the younger kids for some minor games and Jack and Danni packed bags full of goodies for all the kids.











After an exhausting afternoon, we all, Thai leaders included, went out for some authentic Isaan food. We were all relieved that our Thai friends were able to instruct us on how to eat some of the foods that we hadn’t come across before. It was great way to end a truly rewarding missions trip for all of us.
