HELP Thailand - Boiling Point












Directly reported from HELP-Thailand (the Shelter). A summertime like this as well as the political temperature in the country that almost hit the boiling point may have made many feel unhappy. Although, there is good news ; that suffering is the tool God often uses to equip us, and here we are ; Thailand and the Thai churches are right in the middle of it.















Here at the Shelter, our second summer in this house is both hot and unsteady as most of the people in Bangkok have experienced. But since we are more adjusted to the climate, we are now starting to see our agricultural project take shape.


We have many catfishes ; enough for eating, selling, and giving away, and also several kinds of vegetables. Since we are more settled now,we started to attend a church regularly. It is a young church with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Our pastors and members of the church stand side by side and are willing to help us display the Body of Christ to our guys, so they can learn about Jesus and grow up in a wider context.

Thailand - News from the drug-rehab

At the moment, 7 guests (people who undergo rehabilitation) are in our drug-rehab in Thailand. Three of them are preparing for the exam of the ninth grade (they left school after the sixth grade). One will finish his rehab the next month.

After moving to a new area, 5 rehab -places are available. The moving went well and now, because of more space, our rehab-team can offer better working-opportunities for the men in the program. The staff thinks about starting a fish-farm, a vegetable-garden, a chicken-farm or even growing mushrooms.

Besides the working-opportunities for the guests of the rehab, this will offer the possibility to help to finance the whole project.

Desires and aimes: Our team would like to have all free places filled with people and they look for a new car (at the moment, they are 14 people and they have only a car with 11 seats (and then it is packed).
