Speaking English - Teaching as a Volunteer


We have a returning volunteer, who is teaching at Phanom Benja HS. As a child, Katie, a teacher from South Carolina, dreamed of being a teacher like her grand -parents. But how did she know that she would use her skills as a teacher for missions.
She has already had the opportunity to present the gospel to a teenage student, who hangs around the teacher’s office. She is making relationships with the teachers by eating with the them and helping them with their classes. She has had opportunity to explain to the teachers things like God is a God of love and doesn’t punish you if you forget to pray one time for your food at meals. As she personalizes Christianity for these teachers and students, pray that her relationships with them will bring some of them into God’s kingdom.

Praise and Prayer

1. Praise God for the arrival of Katie, Nathan & Dylan, our summer volunteer ESL teachers!
2. Pray for Nathan, Dylan, & Katie to have many natural opportunities to present the Gospel to the fellow teachers and their students.
3. Pray for Thais to come to church in Khao Phanom, as a result of our three volunteer teachers.
4. Continue to pray that God will completely heal El’s body, so that she can walk, go to worship and become an integral part of the KP church.
5. Pray for us to maintain a balance in our work and getting ready to return to America.
6. Pray for a volunteer team coming from Texas (July 22-29) to make a positive impact for Christ in Khao Phanom.
