Thailand Thanksgiving

I just got an update from Ezekiel with some photos of the rice harvest that we were unable to partake in while we were there in Thailand. Looks like it was a time, good or not i'll let you decide if you think it would have been fun. I wish that i would have been able to be there with the students.

Here are some shots for the rice fields.




Students and staff harvesting the rice.


That is a nine foot green snake, pretty much the same color as the rice right. i am sure that Julie is glad to have not seen this in person or have me be around when this was in the rice.



The Thanksgiving/Harvest Meal for the Students and Staff of MBTC. A refresher... thanksgiving comes when ever the rice or harvest is ready to be taken. Then the celebration for God providing begins in the form of thanksgiving meal. I miss the food cooked in banana leaves. Truly a wonderful thing. Might have to try that sometime state side and see what happens.



Whats everyone thankful for...Graduation time.
Here are a handful of the students that we worked along side during our time there in Mae Sot that are now graduated and going out into the world to share the Good News!



Here is the Tithe for the rice that the students brought in from the fields. Is that a lot of rice or what!


The new hymnals arrived as well. I am sure that all of these have all of the latest from Hall, Tomlin, Crowder, Redman and Hillsong. If only, that would make for a killer Hymnal.Though some would argue it not a hymnal anymore, but i digress.


Again looking over some images from the trip with the family this Christmas season mad me thankful for everything i have been blessed with...friends, family, co-workers near and far. You are awesome Yeshua thank you for everything even the thorns!

God bless you all in 2010
