We made it to Thailand! See?
 |
| Chian Mai, Thailand. |
 |
| We climbed this 300 step staircase to see a Buddhist temple, |
 |
| Buddha on a hydraulic pallet jack, |
 |
| and Tim, stealing this puppy from a little girl. |
 |
| I also had a snack. |
 |
| Meanwhile, down in town, this massive, modern, high-end mall is almost complete. |
 |
| The inside view of the mall with my Wawee coffee. |
 |
| While the builders of this mall live here with their families, dogs, and chickens. |
 |
| The reason we are here is to minister to the staff of the Cornerstone Counseling Center. They exist to help missionaries, just like the ones we visited in the roughest parts of Phnom Penh, when the burden of mission work weighs them down. |
 |
| Missionaries, like the rest of us fallen creatures, face burnout, temptation, emotional trauma, and relationship struggles. That is why Cornerstone is here. But who takes care of the Cornerstone staff? That is why we are here. We will be guiding them on a retreat for spiritual growth and reflection on the power of the Gospel and the faithfulness of God. Please pray for us for the remainder of our trip as we try to be the hands and feet of Christ for this team. As is very common with ministry, I think they will end up being more of an encouragement to us than we are to them. Somehow, in it all, we believe God will do wonderful things. |
