Village English

RCC staff and members have started an English ministry in the slum village near the Watcharapon church (where we once helped with a Children's Day event). We are hoping to get the Watcharapon members involved in this outreach project in their own area.

This passed Sunday was our first Sunday there. We plan to go every Sunday afternoon for a few hours to teach English and play games. We divided our students into four age groups since we have everything from 4 year-olds to adults. We have one American, one Thai translator, and several helpers from each group. I get to lead the 4-6 years old class. This passed Sunday we had a class of about 20. The kids are so precious. My helpers were great, and we had lots of fun, though it was very hot; we teach in the village school house, so we had some shade, but that's about it.

Thank God for blessing us with this outreach opportunity, and pray for that we will find the time and people to keep it going, and that we will be able to get the Watcharapon church members involved.
