I have just completed my fourth summer as a missionary here in Chiang Mai. Every summer we have had one team from Evangel University come to help teach at TLC English Center. I have learned quite a bit about hosting teams over the last three years, and I am thankful for all the lessons God has taught me–they all came in handy this summer when […]
January photos
Here are some pictures of what we did in January. A team of three wonderful ladies came from a church in Spokane, WA to help out at TLC. We had class for university students, a Quest event, plenty of fun parties, and we also taught at a village school around the mountain three mornings a week.
For your viewing pleasure
It’s been a wild and crazy and amazing summer, and here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure. We had two teams come to help this summer – the first team, from Evangel University, stayed for two months and taught two courses, one in June and one in July; the second team came from Origin, the young adult group at Simi Valley Church of the […]
SoccerMom
You know SoccerMom — the mother (or father … I should say SoccerParent) with an extra-large vehicle driving around too many kids to too many events while only having time to grab dinner at the drive-thru, and loving every minute of it. Whenever a team comes into town to help me at TLC, I feel like I turn into SoccerMom. Ok, so maybe I don’t […]
QUEST 15 January 2011
We went to Ob Khan, a nearby national park, for the first QUEST of 2011. Our topic was “God knows your future” and we had four stations for rotation with different activities and a testimony at each one. What fun it was! We had an awesome response too, with over half of the students expressing an interest in Christianity and a few students who want […]
Where to begin…?
No new post in a month… no I didn’t drop off the face of the earth, but I have been traipsing around Thailand, and Europe, in that time! A quick timeline… Mid-July: Quest with the Evangel team and Scott and Julie. We went to a waterfall and had activities at each level. What fun! There was a little rain but the students enjoyed it. Some […]
A busy summer
I have been negligent in posting pictures and writing about all the fun I’m having lately, mostly because I’ve been so busy taking pictures and having fun! Here are just a few things we’ve been up to lately at TLC English Center. Thanks go to a team from Evangel University and two volunteers from Wisconsin, who helped with so much over the last two months! […]
Have I mentioned lately…
WE NEED TEACHERS! TLC English Center is in need of teachers starting August 10th! Can you help? Check out this site for more information, or contact me. Let anyone else know too who may be interested. Teaching English is a great way to get to know Thai students, build relationships with them, and introduce them to Christ. Please ask God how you can be involved!
Students + Teachers = English Center!
A team of 5 students from Evangel University is working at the English Center giving it a great kick-off! So far we have just over 25 students after 2 days of classes, and we are expecting more to come! Thanks for praying! Also an update – I found an apartment that is in the area where I wanted to live. It’s new and not finished […]
