It's a real joy to work with the Covenant churches in Roi Et. There's an obvious expectation that God is at work and a passionate love for their neighbors and fellow Isaan. I (Steve) didn't realize that the head of the Thailand Covenant was with us and that I met him back in 1999. Fortunately, he doesn't remember me, either :) But he did remember the church planting conference, which was the reason I was in Roi Et.
One thing I didn't mention last night was that the health fair was supposed to be limited to 60 kids. We ended up with 82, even though we started with what looked like about 40. The group just kept getting bigger! And that reminded us of why we're here: we are helping the local church to enjoy greater favor with their neighbors. Most of the kids were not Christians, but now they (and their parents) know of the presence of this local church and love of the people of the church for them.
Please pray for us as we start our second day of health fairs.
- KK and Maddie both have multiple bug bites on their legs that required oral antihistamines.
- Steve's back is still ache-y and requiring wearing the back brace.
- It's supposed to be 97F today! We need to stay hydrated.
