The Bangjak Baptist Church hosts a yearly teen camp for all the Independent Baptist Churches in Thailand.  This year’s teen camp we had 90 campers and around 20 staff and counselors that were there.  We had a great week of games, sports and activities but the highlight of the camp was seeing almost every camper that came unsaved go back to their churches knowing the Lord as their Savior!  We had 15 accept Christ.  Many gave their life to follow Him no matter what the consequences.  It was well worth the time, effort and expense to see the great results!

We got back just in time to do laundry and leave for the southern part of Thailand on a 16- hour train trip to take a team of 43 people to compete representing the Bangjak Baptist Church!  We had a great time witnessing to those on the team who haven’t accepted Christ yet.  They were very open and had many questions.  Also we had many opportunities to talk to government sports officials who also are the officials going to the Olympics in China this year.  They had many questions about what a church is and what exactly Christianity was about.  This has become an open door to talking to and getting to know people in the government who can be a help in getting us VISAS in the future if problems arise in staying in the country.
