Christmas Celebrations

Friends,
Thank for praying with us as we used the opportunity that Christmas presents to tell the story of Jesus to many people here in Chachoengsao.
Our outreach efforts included a party at the school where we teach every Tuesday. We gave every child in the school (over 150) a gift bag, and all the ones we teach (about 80) received a Bible story book in Thai and English as well as a Christmas card from the children of Buhler MB! At our kids clubs in the city and the country we did something similar, with every child receiving a gift bag and a book.
Here are the kids lined up outside our building in the city, waiting for the party to start!



And making Christmas cards...



Our biggest event was at the water market, where over 400 people came together to sing, listen to preaching, watch drama and dancing, eat together, and receive gifts. It was an amazing time!

Many new people came for the first time. Please pray with us as we seek to follow through on the many contacts God has given us. Thanks!!




"Lord, glorify your name in the lives of all those who heard about you at these events. Bring forth fruit for your name. Amen."
