My Journey in Burmese Migrant Primary School

I'm privileged to teach Thai to 24 students of grade 3 and 4 in the mission school of Maesai Grace Church. The students are migrant children who are of different tribes from Myanmar. The majority come from the poor and unbelieving family. Although there are some who are from Christian family, however they know little about Christianity.
It has been one term and one month since I started to teach the students A,B,C of Thai script. After every teaching, I usually pray for the kids, asking the Lord Jesus to bless them with wisdom, understanding,health, happiness and peace. All the kids respect their teacher and are interested in learning Thai. They enjoy their study very much. By God's grace so far the students are able to read the script of Thai gospel songs and Thai national song, and sing them as well. They have touched the love and dwelling of Jesus Christ and they learn to love Jesus and love each other. Praise the LORD.
Here I charge all the readers to pray for the kids, and especially pray for the teachers and staff of Maesai Grace Church, that we may use teaching as a tool to preach gospel. With Jesus passion and burden for the lost souls, let's join our hearts and hands to sow and to water, and our God of love will make it grow and bring to an abundant harvest in due season.

2010 CHRISTMAS

Our Christmas program is not like a traditional Christian worship style. Every year we celebrated with many non Christian peoples on our program. I think this is the real meaning for the incarnation of God. Sometimes our Christian are celebrated Christmas in our Christian community. About more than 400 non Christian peoples are join with our Maesai Grace Church Christmas program in 24 December.

I hoped this is amazing and the beautiful meaning of Christ incarnation to the World. We have good gathering dinner, Christmas gift and entertainments are include in our program.

Thanks for all of you, for your praying and support our ministries among migrant workers and displaced peoples.

School Sport Day

Every year our Burmese Migrant Primary School celebrates school sports day in the month of December. We have no playground place and not so much space for sport. We going to the public playground center in Maesai.
A school sports day, also known as a field day, provides an entertaining event that allows students to participate and enjoy success. An encouraging atmosphere at the school sports day ensures that all kids feel comfortable participating in the activities. Adapting these ideas allows them to be used for a variety of children. Vary the skill level for each activity to meet the age and abilities of the participants.

Christmas Choir in Maesai Prasitsat School

We have opportunities to sang Christmas Choir in Maesai Prasitsat School for all the students. We are thanks to God for giving us this opportunities because most of the student are from non christian background and they never seen like this Choir in Northern Thailand.
