Top Ten from EMBARK Week One
- Standing in
the Chiang Mai airport waiting for the girls to arrive (totally excited and
nervous) and seeing them emerge from customs and immigration with huge smiles,
all their luggage, and ready to head straight to the mall to buy their new cell
phones!
- Watching the
group huddle around their map of Chiang Mai twenty-four hours after arrival and
seeing them work out exactly where they are and where they need to go.
- Cheering as
the girls arrived home after using public transportation for the first time.
- Hearing the
group pray for one another and for people they long to know Jesus.
- Wandering
the Doi Saket Tuesday night market. I had the opportunity to use my limited
Thai to build bridges to my community and we met some new neighbors.
- Listening to
the Chiang Mai YFC director share about the faith of the Thai people and how to
share the story of Jesus.
- Marveling as
Neil shared about the pioneers of YFC work in many nations in Asia Pacific and
the risks and challenges they face daily.
- Considering
topics like risk, suffering, failure, transition, and culture stress and
pushing each other to pre-decide how we are going to respond when nothing goes
as planned.
- Laughing
together LOTS!!!
- Loving every
minute!
