So my time and day schedule is messed up once again because we left from Chiang Mai on a 22 hour bus ride, and still then jumped in a truck for a 3 hour ride so that we could meet up with members from the church in Phuket.
I think the 50th Asian Missions Forum was a great experience. We soaked up as much wisdom as we could from all the experienced missionaries, and Christians from all over Asia. I loved the new perspective, because up till now we’ve spent the majority of the trip teaching English, in small towns with very few foreigners, and working with one church at a time. The forum was an interesting change of pace because we’re still on a mission trip, but now the people we are trying to serve already have grown in Christ, know the story, and matured probably more than we have. I feel like the team can apply that feeling at home, and we all learned a little how to look for ways to serve and encourage even when we’re in a comfortable environment. I feel like we got a little taste of heaven, I picture heaven a lot like the week turned out, everyone coming together with the same purpose, looking to serve and encourage each other, even when all of our needs were taken care of already. I hope each of the team members take this spirit back to America with us
