Yesterday, we had the soccer clinic and focused on passing. It went well! I am glad I have an opportunity to hang out with the mks here; they are all a fun group of people. Wednesday night, I went to community team which is like a small group time for some of the people in the church. Since many members of the church are students, they have a time on wednesday nights for non-students to get together, discuss the sermon and have small group fellowship. Katie Hamlett translated for me, so I got to hear what everyone was saying about the sermon on Sunday concerning Luke 9 and following Jesus.
Today, I'm looking forward to eating lunch with Debbie and Leslie Nesbitt who are with a different missions group (not campus outreach) in Khon Kaen. They are wanting to start some small business programs to help "at risk" people. I read somewhere that prostitution constitutes around 4% of Thailand's economy. The largest number of prostitutes come from the region I am in right now known as Isaan. Isaan refers to the northeast part of Thailand, which contains mostly rural areas. By starting small businesses etc, some families battling material poverty could have a way to earn some money. Many potential prostitutes would have an alternant way to earn money for their families. There are a few missionary families in Khon Kaen, wanting to pursue that type of ministry. Looking forward to meeting with one family today!
Here are some pictures from the past two days
