bangkok..buzzing with activities

yes..i finally got to eat grasshoppers, silk worms and little frogs.

it's really crunchy and not too bad really...
we had a wonderful New Year's Day Countdown party in church...eating, dancing, playing games...

so what ELSE have i been doing in Bangkok?

In a nutshell, we have English conversational classes and sports evangelism as our main activities..

here's the coconut shell..

in the mornings, we meet for devotion
we met for breakfast at 845am!! Beautiful!! hahaha
then we have devotions, morning chores, worship, briefings.

The church i'm staying at is called the Siam Bangkok Church and we're located next to the biggest university in the world. More than 600,000 students here! We march into the campus at abt 11 in the morning and walk around in groups giving out tracts and invitations to our English Class and Futsal competition.
We meet students, talk, share our testimonies and the Gospel.
Then we have lunch and head back to church.

In the afternoons, we plan our English lesson for the evening ahead.
Lessons are on Tue, Wed and thursdays from 5-7 and 730 to 930.
Quite tough, but pretty fun.

We rotate, so some nights we head out to the stadium nearby to play soccer/basketball with the locals and do our stuff..share the Gospel.

Fridays are our day off, Saturdays are days where our students will bring us sightseeing and Sundays are ministry days with 2 church services that we attend.

today, my team went walking around the campus and stopped at a study bench.
there were 3 girls there and we just stopped to chat.
The pastor was with us and all 4 of us had the chance to share our testimony and the gospel with them.
that moment, we could all sense the Holy Spirit with us and i was like bursting..my heart was beating so fast i just had to cut in and share the gospel with them..it was quite A moment..

It's amazing easy to talk to others about our faith
i guess we complicate it too much

We've been going into the largest university in the world, abt 600,000 students, to do evangelism. We walk up to them, strike up a conversation and share our lifestories with them.

Today we just found out that a bomb was found outside this university in a phone booth.

It scared me a little. I thought we were far away from the bombings that happened downtown.
But it's right here too, it seems...

But it's worth it...

you won't believe the incredible joy we have walking to lunch after sharing the Gospel with some students..we're just so excited we have to keep praying..aloud as we walk to lunch, praying that God will meet those lovely students, that He will show Himself to them.

You know sometimes when you're doing something well or right, and you had this feeling that it's JUST the RIGHT thing to do?

That you were MADE for just that?

That's how we felt...

It's worth it..

bombs or not
