Soccer Outreach

Thai Competitors

For the past 4 weeks, Thai Christians sponsored a soccer competition.  Over 300 Thai men from the local factories competed.  Four teams would march onto the playing field at a time with much pomp in the uniforms of their sponsoring company before each game.  Pictures were then taken.  Two games were played at a time beginning at 8 a.m. until 5 p.m.  Some of the cheering sections were very loud and vocal.  Thais were presented the Gospel, fed good Thai food, listened to live Thai music and watched some exciting games.  Each Sunday night church members would drag into the worship service tired from the all-day competition.   But they became refreshed from worshipping God.  Last Sunday at the end of the 4 week competition trophies were awarded to the best teams.  May God bless this and other activities to reach the Thais and bring them into God's kingdom.
