Mountain Village






Here is our team at our last venue of our 5 day outreach. The night before we held a wonderful evening outreach, ministering to a little over a hundred children. The program continued into the evening with songs and testimonies by our team to hundreds of the village people, many who were non-believers. I have a little story to share. After the children's program, we handed out balloons to all the children thinking they were going to go home and return for the adult program starting shortly. Well, I was wrong! The program just continued on while the adults came. If I had known, I would not have given out balloons, because they were noisy and a HUGE distraction! Ever see kids with balloons, especially those who hardly ever get balloons!! I was talking to a ministry student sharing how I wished I didn't hand them out. But, calmy he said, "may pen ray" which in Thai means "no problem". He said, "God can do anything!" He was right! God will minister and accomplish His purpose...even amidst all the noise of children with balloons!!

Here's also a picture of the Tang Gang trying to be a part of the last supper. This picture was painted by a member of the church.

I'm thinking a similar portrait on the hallway wall when you return to Torrance.
