Meeting with Hill Tribe people

All day Wednesday was spent in Chiang Mai, participating in a pastor's conference for pastors and their wives from the Li Hpu hill tribe. (Pronounced "La Hoo".) The Li Hpu have their own dialect that is very different from traditional Thai and even Ah Jan Winit needed a translator. He spoke at four sessions, two each in the morning and afternoon, and each time for about an hour. The subject was worship.

Here, the group is worshipping at the start of a session. Ah Jan Winit is playing his beloved violin.




Each team member was to share a few thoughts on the subject of worship. Two or three of us spoke at the start of each session before Ah Jan Winit spoke. I spoke in the last session.

Thankfully, my translator understood Li Hpu, Thai, AND English!

The team's sharing and Ah Jan Winit's preaching went over very well. Afterward, the leader told Winit that they plan to have a major meeting in a few months, with up to five thousand in attendance and they want Immanuel to share and teach there, also!
