Future Opportunity for Bali Group

U-an and Kit

Before the Bible study meeting, we passed out Christian literature at Thai stores where Thais from the factories were congregated to watch Thai boxing on cable TV.  Once at the meeting place, we ate a delicious Thai meal.  We were disappointed that only one man was there. But before Richard began the lesson, another man came (He had been working overtime).  Praise God! 

Many Thai workers are headed home to Thailand at this time because their labor contracts are up.  (Labor Contracts run for 3 years.  The first year, if they are thrifty, they can pay off their agent/air fare.  Then the 2nd and 3rd years they can send money home to their families.) 

The Taiwanese government is building a lot of new apartments in Bali. Rumor has it that they will use about 700 Thai workers for approximately two years in the construction of these buildings.  If this be true, the Thai church in Bali is in a good strategic location to reach them with the gospel.
