On May 4th- 7th, team leader Greg and I had the chance to attend a youth camp with the students from our church. It was a very intensive time of Thai language study for me. All the events were in Thai, and it was the most Thai I'd ever been exposed to in such a short period of time. But inspite of the headache, the experience proved beneficial. Two of our students from the Grapevine were able to attend with us (Intern Goi and new believer Jah), and both were encouraged by the weekend.

Jah - "“At Grapevine everyone loves you. They don’t care if you rich... pretty...funny. I became a Christian because I touched the love of God.”



I'm so very excited that "the girl next door" my neighbor, Jah, has decided to open the door to the Christ. She has already told her Buddhist parents about her commitment to Jesus, and they received the news well. She has only been attending Grapevine since November, but has been a regular at all events. She was also able to attend a Christian youth camp this May with our church, and was encouraged to worship and share with other believers. Please keep Jah in your prayers as she begins her new walk with Christ.
