Khao Phanom Christmas Program


Thanks for praying. God heard your prayers!!! We had 32 Non-Christian Thais come to the Christmas program in Khao Phanom. In addition,10 members from Krabi Baptist Church came to help, plus ourselves and Nantana. So altogether, 45 excited people participated in this special Christmas outreach. What a great celebration of the birth of Christ! The children in Khao Din surprised us with a dance that they decided to do on their own. The dance was performed to music of 2 Christian songs. Our pastor from Krabi Baptist preached for 15 minutes and everyone enthusiastically listened. Our co-worker (Nantana) told the Christmas story as we changed scenes using felt figures depicting the story of the angel visiting Joseph & Mary, the shepherds in the field hearing the Good News, and the Magi’s visit to worship the new born king. There was plenty of singing, games and of course prizes. Everyone got a present. With any celebration in Thailand, there must be food. On this day the people in Khao Din provided plenty of food. The entire day was truly a blessing from God.
