Team Retreat

We welcomed Preston Thomas last week (Thursday) to our team for a five month internship. Here Tim is presenting him with some "essentials" to living in Thailand, this is a mosquito racket used for killing mosquitoes.

And, we celebrated Melanie's birthday on Saturday...with yummy brownies Rhi made.

This past weekend MTW Thailand spent the weekend together at a beach town about 2 1/2 hours away in Rayong, Thailand. It was a lot of fun playing, praying. learning and just being together. God has really blessed us with a team of people who are fun to be with and we are so thankful for times like this when we can spend time together. Our entire team went on this retreat (including the Thais) so it was great fun to hang out with them. Ying and I were able to do some wave jumping and boogie-boarding (as you all know how much I LOVE to boogie-board!). A game of beach soccer got underway one afternoon as well as pitonk (bolles) and some frisbee and american football throwing. A lot of eating took place too as there is a Thai restaurant right on the beach. =)
We also had times of reflection of what God has done in and thru us and our team in the past year as well as times of prayer for God's leading for the future 3, 6, and 12 months.
Dave encouraged us to keep Christ as our treasure and not to be satisfied with other things of this world, even the good things of this world.
Enjoy the rest of the pics and please continue to pray for us as we serve here, pray for God to open hearts to the Gospel.
