English Camp at a Country School

We traveled 3 hours to Korat and stayed in a hotel.  The next morning we drove 1½ hours to a country school which had grades kindergarten through 8^th grade.  Two Thai Christians taught at the school.  The rest of the teachers and students were Buddhist. We taught an all day English Camp with the Mackins. But before we began our program, the teachers and children had prepared a traditional Thai dance for us and the kindergarteners also did a special song and dance.  Then we began in earnest to teach them about America.  Over 100 children attended.  

We tried to make the teaching fun and encouraged the students as they attempted to write the answers in English to questions on hand out sheets.  Prizes were given for the person who finished first in each grade.  After lunch, the students came and asked for our autograph as we gave them Captain America stickers.  We participated in 2 Christian skits, one about sin and the other about how Jesus can change your life. Ross concluded the program with a clear presentation of the gospel. The students and teachers all learned something new about America and were very appreciative of our camp. But most importantly, they learned about Jesus. Pray for these children and teachers in the school to believe the gospel message and follow Jesus.
