Agape House...

There are around 90 children at Agape House, the orphanage we have been staying with since we arrived in Mae Sot. Each morning the children start worship at 5:00 am, complete chores, and get ready for school. Each evening is ended with another worship time.
We have been very busy since arriving here. The first two days were spent teaching English and playing games at a local school. On two different nights we piled into the back of trucks to hold on during the trek up to two different Karen hill tribes where we presented open air programs and spent the night before coming back to the orphanage. Time has also been spent clearing out the sports fields, building and putting up soccer goals and a volleyball net. We are also in the process of organizing a variety of after school activities to facilitate for the kids when the come back from school each evening. It feels as though we are just getting started here, yet we only have two more weeks left in Mae Sot. May and Noah, our hosts, have been blessing us with incredible meals and providing opportunities for us to run into the market and we even had a chance to go to some hot springs where we all enjoyed hot showers for the first time since arriving here.
As a team we have been fighting off sickness as it seems everyone is trying to take his or her own turn of getting a head cold or sore throat. We soak in our times of team worship and intercession. During each debrief we recognize ways that God is teaching and growing our team. We pray that we will continue to be open and learn what He's showing us to improve our ministry.
Sometimes it is hard to think about what is ahead when there is so much going on in the present. We have so much left of outreach, yet internship phase is creeping up on us in a few weeks also. I'm still not set on where I will be for internship, but as of right now I am thinking about two different options. I have been looking into going to a YWAM base in Argentina, South America to help out with different mercy and sports ministries they facilitate or I am open to helping out with a ministry here in Thailand. Please pray for clear direction!
We'll see where God sends me...
