The Bible? No Problem!

A few weeks previously, I was asked if I would consider going to the Lampang Cancer Center, located just outside town, to teach English. I explained to the Administrator that whilst I taught English, my purpose was also to expose Thai people to my Christian worldview and that I would be using Bible passages as my English teaching texts.
He had no qualms about that and we set a date for me to start early in January. I have been there many times already and its been really awesome! The staff have been given two hours per week off during working hours to study English. So I have a class that ranges from 12 to 24 educated and motivated nurses, doctors, radiologists, IT specialists and clerks who are practicing their English and hearing about Jesus.

- Pray for God to reveal Himself to these English students as they hear about Jesus
- Pray for them to make progress in their English so that they feel this is a worthwhile endeavor
- Pray for English classes throughout the country, which are means of making contacts and helping communities. The English class at the International Church in Bangkok (highlighted in the Thai Tempo a year ago) continues and has over 100 Thai and Burmese each week
