Greetings from Bangkok,
Everything is going very well here. My physical health is almost perfect now. We have been teaching English everyday at least once. Monday, Wednesday and Friday in the public schools. That is a miracle in itself because we teach by ourselves (the teachers leave us) and we can not speak any of their language and we are somehow supposed to teach them English. It is very fun, even if they don't learn anything knew. Everytime we arrive at the school, it is as if John Travolta arrived unannounced at the Oprah Winfrey Show! : ) We are excitement and entertainment for these students. Saturday and Sunday we teach children in a children's' ministry setting. The first weekend we had about 4 kids. The next we have about 25! Though it is very hard to plan for these events because you never know how many kids will come, it is very exciting. This next week at the public and Christian schools we will be inviting everyone to come to the 4th of July party we are throwing. We will talk about freedom and what it means to be spiritually free to a lot of children and adults who have never heard the name Jesus before. Please keep us in your prayers for this great opportunity on July 9th.
-The rest of the week is filled with friendship evangelism at the University close to here and through sports (they love to play the American's in basketball). We have also been spending a lot of time being an encouragement to the local churches in Bangkok. The churches are very small and very young. Discouragement is a common theme in the churches because they are not seeing the numbers they want to see. So far, 5 college students have accepted Christ and many many other people of all ages are being more open to the gospel message. Thankyou for your continued prayer.
Love;live
Jonathan Newton
