"ONE WAY" English Camp

These are some pictures from our English Camp in Surin that we put on for Kui and Khmer students in Thailand during their school break. We worked along with our good missionary friends David and Debbie Cobb. This was not merely an English Camp, but was a neat opportunity to share the Gospel with a group of young people who have very little knowledge of what it means to be a Christian. At this camp, we teamed up with a local Church fellowship. We (the white people) shared about English, whereas the Thai people from the church shared from Scripture. In addition, at night, we had all of the young people participate in acting out various stories from God's Word. These stories gave a brief summary of what the Bible is about. They learned about God's creating the world, man's sinfulness, the necessity of sacrifice in the Old Testament, and Jesus as the ultimate sacrifice in the New Testament. The students who were able to come to our village have been singing the Thai and English songs ever since the camp finished up. Please join us in praying that God will work in a big a way in our village, drawing these young people and their families to Himself.


Pamela performs a skit along with some young people from our village about Jesus feeding 5000 people with only 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish

These two young men act out the skit about Jesus healing the paralytic man. The boy on the right was the sick man who Jesus healed. It was touching to see the joy that he showed in the skit after God healed Him. Outside of the skit, this young Khmer man seemed to express some interest in understanding more about a relationship with God

Lindsay, a volunteer working along with the Cobb family, poses for a picture with some of the students at the camp

Pamela poses with a few girls from Cambodia who came to the camp. They look about 8 years old, but in reality are all over 11 or 12 years old

This is our group from Baan Buay (Buay Village in Sisaket Thailand). If you'd like to pray individually for them, there names are: Moss (far left), Mark (pink and black stripes), Aim (girl in the back-middle w/ Hudson), Nun (girl in the front middle, Sky (boy in the back right), and Bang (girl in the front right)
