Greetings from Thailand!  We arrived to Faith House this afternoon after flying over 10,000 miles over 4 days with 14 pieces of checked luggage and 8 pieces of carry-on luggage.  As you can see by the pictures below there are big smiles on the team's faces and the girls' as they say Hello - some for the very first time.

In the short time we have been here this afternoon we have learned about the war raging in Myanmar and how it is impacting the girls at Faith House.  Maria has received 10 new girls in the recent months and 6 are from the war zone area.  Thankfully, Gigi has a counseling degree now and is working with these traumatized girls to help them deal with so much emotion.  Many have family in Myanmar and they are fearful for them but can't go back to see them.

We are looking forward to being the hands and feet of Jesus here this week.  Tomorrow, Ron will preach at the Worship service that Faith House holds in their compound.  Afterward, we will take the girls for a special trip to a nearby resort to begin our lessons through the book of Esther and continued study about the names God has called them. Oh, yes and swim in the pool which will be a wonderful treat for these young ladies.  Right now it is so hot here it feels like you do when you stand in front of an open oven door.  HOT!!!
