9/14 in the Slums

Today at Ja Ru Rat, we had twenty five kids and it sent really well. After we sang a few songs, I told them the story of Jesus feeding the five thousand with five small loaves and two fish. I stressed that he got the food from a 'lek puchai' (little boy) in the crowd. Afterward, we gave then a coloring book page that went along with the story. I was amazed that almost all the kids could answer all my questions about the story. (It was fun to see their faces when I told them there were twelve baskets full of leftovers!)

It is also encouraging that there are more and more adults hanging around the edges to watch and listen. That's the idea... to reach the parents through their children.

I made a fuss over one child's picture and took her photo. Suddenly EVERYONE wanted their photo taken, and they all wanted me to draw a star on their pages.

As the last of the kids were leaving, Vee asked a group of them to come stand with me for a photo. They were more than happy to oblige.
At Soi 197, Tony's fan ministry started today with a couple of people from the community bringing broken fans in for free repair. Tony knows his stuff. He had one motor torn apart, soldering stuff and next thing you knew, it was working like new! I'll be interested to see how this ministry goes. What a great example of 'finding your niche'!
