Kanchanaburi - Part 1

We left Bangkok at 2:00 a.m. and drove through the early morning to pick up Chris Mills, an American missionary who is largely serving by himself in Kanchanaburi province. We went to go see Chris and encourage him, while getting a close up view of the work he is involved in.


The sun rises over the mountains near the Thai/Burma border.

Left to right - me, V, and Chris.



We visited a piece of land recently purchased by an organization called Vision Trust, based in the US. They feed about a hundred sixty kids in the area. They plan to build a community center, but right now they just have a big tent and, weather permitting, serve meals out in the open field.



The kids get a bowl of something like chicken noodle soup, but a bit thicker.

They then march over and get s big spoonful of crushed red peppers. Got to 'kick it up a notch!"
