We performed Christmas Programs in 4 High Schools and 2 Elementary Schools in Khao Phanom. We were able to present the Christmas story through words, story, songs, a skit and handouts. Most importantly, we had the opportunity to explain the real meaning of Christmas, the birth of a Jesus Christ who is the true God worthy of worship. Most Thais think Christmas is all about exchanging gifts on the new year or Santa Claus. Both American and Thai team members pitched in to get props ready, give a witness, sing, and act in a skit. One of the highlights was a particular question and answer session. The Thai elementary students asked questions such as: What’s the difference between heaven and hell? When was Jesus born? When did Jesus go to heaven? Is there really a devil? and “Why do we celebrate Christmas?” What wonderful questions from the mouth of children.
