Volunteers

Eight Oklahoma Baptist (OBU) students arrived on January 2nd. One had gotten sick the previous week and we took her to the hospital where she got good medical help and recovered quickly. On their first day, the students practiced their English program and worked on their testimonies. Later they went swimming at a thermal waterfall. On the following days, they presented their English program at four junior/senior high schools in Khao Phanom. At each school, at least one of the team gave a personal testimony of how God had changed their life. On the weekend, the team helped with the Compassion Program at Krabi Baptist church. They also got to have some fun going to a beach, snorkeling, and climbing a tall mountain. On Sunday afternoon, we took the team to a market in Khao Phanom to perform a mini concert at different food stalls. While the group sang, members of Krabi Baptist passed out tracts to vendors and surprised shoppers. On their last day in Krabi, the OBU Team out to do door to door evangelism in the country side. Even though there was a language barrier, they gave testimonies (through translation) to those who invited us inside homes to sit and talk. Their programs in the schools have already helped to give us more acceptability in the area. Praise God for their help!
