This is the first batch of Shan students from our ministry program in Mae Sai, many of these youths have been in our program for about 6 years and are now moving into the city Chiang Rai for their further studies in Vocational School. We thank the Lord for His providence through Christians who are seeing these youths into school through their generous support financially.
Since all of them have to move from their villages into the city for studies, Chalor has set up a house to have them all stay together under her guidance and supervision. This arrangement has eased the worries of all their parents. The parents have since build trust and confidence with our ministry program and thus are more than willing to know that we will take responsibility of their children while they study in the city.
The house where the girls are staying is a stone throw away from where Neel & Chalor are residing. This makes it easier for Chalor to oversee the youths. Chalor had a meeting with the girls and explained the house rules which are fairly strict but not excessive. Three infractions means that they will be removed from the scholarship program and the house. Chalor will also have weekly Bible study with them.
Continue to keep this aspect of ministry in prayers, as it is a first step for us to see the first batch of students progressing in their education.
- Pray for wisdom to lead and guide them as we provide care and encouragement to them as guardians.
- Pray that this will open up an opportunity for us to get to know the youths better individually.
- Pray that plans for weekly bible study with the youths will benefit them.
