So my team made it all the way to Chiang Mai, Thailand, and tomorrow we are headed to the site! There's a ton of work to do, but I'm so excited to be a part of something that's much bigger than myself or my team!
I was thinking this morning - Our lives are eternal in scope but not duration. We are a brief moment in time on this earth but that can reach into eternity. We're so blessed to be surrounded by the love of God and love of others - I hope everyone knows that! Will you allow God to lead you to the places you never thought you would go?
So here it is, the trip so far.......
Flying into Korea - the airport is on an island (I think)
...at the airport in Seoul - he's a king somewhere!
The Riverside Inn - our home for two days in Chiang Mai
Morning devotion with people from FBR and JSoM
Going over the plans with the team
Our transportation was legit
Materials shopping at the local HomeDepot!
Doing to mock screens and tests and such
This EMI team is partnering with Free Burma Rangers (FBR) and Jungle School of Medicine (JSoM) to design and build a refugee home for the Karen people. Further designs could include one for a clinic where they educate and prepare teams to render aid to the people being attacked by the Burman armies.
Here's a video about FBR (Caution because it is GRAPHIC at times)
Wow Seth... what an incredible opportunity! the video opened my eyes to so many things i was ignorant of. I'm praying... specifically now. Thanks for posting the pics -- it did my heart SO GOOD! BTW... watch out for those King Cobras!! much much love- mom (i guess i have to post this under your dad's account... but it's from me <3)
Wow... watching the video really opened my eyes to the amount of training they have to go through... the circumstances and knowledge they have to have along with the bravery and courage... amazing! What a blessing to be able to help support them... I was so amazed at the church that had been there since 1883... wow, God is there and at work. Praise Him!
