more pictures of popphra!

We got a few more pictures uploaded; sorry they are so small. The internet just can't handle anything bigger. Enjoy!

Stephen and Kelli with John, a Christian English teacher at the Thai school. We taught some of his classes, had lunch with him every day, and were invited to his house for dinner one evening. We ask that you pray for him as he is in such a dark place and a very young Christian.

These are all out of order, but this was one of the older kids at Thoo Mweh Khee singing a special song to us as we left. They called us up to the stage, presented us with Karen bags, and said their goodbyes. We were able to thank them and pray for them. It was such an honor to be so warmly treated after just two weeks.

We were just minutes drive from the Thai-Burma border. The pastor we worked with had connections along the border and was able to get through the checkpoints easily. This is us just along the border (which is formed by the river); we are standing in Thailand and Burma is directly behind us.

This is link to see where we are along the border. We've spend some weekends in Mae Sod (or Mae Sot) to the north and spent the last two weeks in Popphra (or Phop Phra). About an hour south.

This is the group of volunteers that were at Popphra (plus the English teacher, John). It was a hard week, but we really feel like God had us there and we were forced to depend on Him.

Thanks for your prayers! Please continue to pray as we are heading out to Noh Bo in an hour.
