Thai Language Class

This is the Thai Language Class we have on every Tuesday and Friday for Shan Adults. The class starts from 7pm - 8pm because all of them have to work till 5pm. Some of these adults are parents of children in our scholarship program. Many are from the village in Nam Jam. Most of these Shan have no education background, they do not know a word of Thai. For some, its their first time holding a pencil and writing.

Pray with us that through these Thai Language classes, we are able to educate the Shan as they work in Thailand, to know at least basic Thai. Which will go a long way in helping them when they go to the market or travel around in the village. And that through these classes, we are able to build relationships with them and share to them about the the Love of Christ.

We have been very impressed with their attitude in learning.

An average of 27 adults attend the Thai Language Class.
We pray together for them before the start of each class.

There are some Thai words that Shan find it hard to pronounce.
It is always funny as they try to make the right sound.

Always attentive during class

Ever willing to learn and write

Sunday lunch for everyone in Church.
Usually the Pastor's wife is in charge of preparing lunch.
But because she is away this month,
the youths have volunteered to prepare lunch.
We thank the Lord for this great opportunity for the youths to serve the church!

The kids enjoyed themselves. Especially so when they can meet new friends from another country. They also enjoyed the simple games and crafts that the team taught. You can see more pictures at our gallery page. We thank the Lord once again for these willing hearts to come and bless the Shan children and youth.
