MOTHER'S DAY IN THAILAND


August 12th was Mother's Day in Thailand. Children from the Compassion program at Krabi Baptist Church did a traditional Thai dance and sang a song in tribute to mothers. Before the sermon, an adult Thai danced part of the Kinnari story (about a half-bird, half-woman princess). A child dedication was held for the youngest child of the other IMB missionary couple in our town. Then the children enthusiastically pinned jasmine flowers on their mother's shirts. The pastor preached on mother's contribution to their children. After the service a special lunch was served in honor of Mother’s Day.
