Finally

Finally we got to do some work. This is what we came so far for. We spent two hours or so handing out Bibles to Chinese tourists as they left a restaraunt. We took shifts prayer walking and passing out Bibles. It was an awesome experience to pray while fellow team members were passing them out. To watch as a group approached out setup, and then wait with anticipation to see whether anyone would accept them. The key to a group seems to be the leadership of their tour guide. If the tour guide told them it was safe or good, nearly the whole group took one. One group had obviously been warned about us, as every person walked by with an unpleasant look on their face. Overall we passed out 80 Bibles tonight and the expected reach is 800 people will read those Bibles. This was an awesome night to see God at work and to be excited about this ministry.
Finally we got a group eating some Thai food in Thailand. Shamed by Melody and the Cheeks dining on Thai in Arlington, the Wrights, the Partains and the Goben went to a Thai eatery and all ate Thai. Even Bill ate Chicken and Fried Rice and is considering moving into some actual Thai food eating on our next outing. We are working on him. Peer pressure does work.
We will go to church tomorrow with the missions team of Southern Cross project. We are very excited to worship with our missionary team. These people love what they do and have a heart for the Lord in reaching the lost people here, particularly the Chinese.
