Since Thailand is just less than 2% Christian, December 25 is just another day. As missionaries our purpose is to introduce Thai people to the Reason for the season.
When we moved to Thailand in April of 2014, a lot of things were
different. One of the biggest changes in
our family was that I stopped homeschooling the children and they began to
attend Chiang Rai International Christian School.
I also began to work at the school part time as the
afternoon kindergarten teacher. I have
so enjoyed teaching reading and writing to some amazing international students.
I have Korean, Thai, Australian, and American students – and my class only has
10 students this year. What a diverse
group!
One of the events our school sponsors at Christmas time each
year is an outreach to one of the local Thai schools. This year we were able to play games, do
crafts and share the gospel with nearly 500 Thai students at a local elementary
school. It was a little crazy and a lot of fun!
All of the students received a Thai Bible and other special treats, as
well as the opportunity to hear about the love of Jesus, maybe for the first
time.
We pray you have a Merry Christmas as you celebrate the
birth of our Savior Jesus Christ.
