Amber is a junior at Troy...she was recently updating me about her last weekend in Thailand. I think it is interesting perspective on the different culture.
"On Saturday, we went to a Thai orphanage and played with the kids and helped with lunch. we took some of our Thai friends with us so it was good to connect with them in that way. The Thai people are driven by a desire to be good, so going and doing good deeds at an orphanage appeals to them. It took a while for the kids to warm up to us, but through crayons and balloons we won their hearts :)

Sunday we had the privilege of witnessing a Thai baptism. It was so encouraging to see the fruit of the ministry here in Thailand. Several of my close Thai friends were baptized, so that made it even more meaningful. Please pray for Aor and Baan and Ying as they publicly confessed their faith in Christ. It is a bigger sacrifice to follow Christ in Thailand. Aor's family no longer speaks to her because of her belief in Christ."
