This is our first 5-day English Camp at Mae Sai church. It is like the typical Vacation Bible School but the difference is English lessons are incorporated each day. It was attended by both Burmese and Thai children. Elena teach the children while Ef teach the youth. It was quite a bit challenging to teach children that speak little English but with God's help we learned to handle it. Also in the process, we gain insight to their culture and begin to like them for who they are. We know that this is one of the important aspects in cross-cultural ministry. We have to rise above the challenges of ministry and people's culture and learn to love them as God loves them.

We are also grateful for our mini-TESOL training and Christian Education class at the seminary that helped us greatly and most especially for your prayers to us each day.
