In Krabi we talked to pastor Dusit of the Baptist church. He began to tell us about his burden for 3 districts of Krabi which had no churches and volunteered to go with us that afternoon to one of them. In Kal Panom district, we passed out tracts, talked to residents, and took pictures. (Some of these the pastor would use to challenge his church about the need for a Christian witness in those districts.) The next day we went to Plai PraYa district and did the same thing. Sunday after worship, we went with the pastor to the third district, Koh Lanta. This island had been affected by the tsunami 2 years ago. Pastor Dusit in
troduced us to some Mogen (sea gypsies) and other Buddhists, who had been helped by Baptist after the tsunami with food & clothing distribution, fishing nets, and boats. We even went to Baw Island, a bumpy long-tail boat ride of 20 minutes from old Lanta town. The mostly Muslim populated island had a satellite dish at the school (necessary in remote places so the children can get instruction where there are not enough school teachers) given by Baptists.
