| Love is best
expressed in action, not words. 41 Ascensionaires
and co-workers left for Thailand on such a mission of love in November 2002.
The School Team ministered to children in a
local school, helping with their English lessons and sharing with them our love and
friendship. We also visited orphanages to bring them cheer in songs and
dance. Children in tribal villages were also treated to puppet shows, songs
and friendly hugs by our Children's Ministry Team.
This year, we were blessed by the presence of
not only one, but four doctors and a dentist, allowing us to form
two
medical teams. The teams treated 1,200 patients in numerous villages without
charge. For the first time, dental work was carried out.
Blessings flowed both ways. While we tried to
give a little of the abundance we enjoy to to the people, we also received
in plentiful their hospitality - housing and feeding us with the best they
have in all the villages we stayed at. [See Life's Like
That]
Here are a few short articles that we hope
can give you a bit of insight into the wonderful time we enjoyed in the
extended family God gave us - unbounded by distance, language or customs.
Indeed His love is for all. Click on the headings below to read articles>>
