This is day three of our youth media camp in Thailand. About 1/3 of the class is Buddhist (which we did not figure on). They mostly stay for the daytime classes. At night we worship loud and strong. The first two days of camp we were working the bugs out. The heat is around 100 degrees so we went out and bought two airconditioners after day one. That has made things a lot more comfortable in the cafe. (Thanks, Fred Garmon and Mount Paran Central Missions!!!!!)

Last night it all came together. I was watching the Filipinos worshipping so exhuberantly, singing their hearts out. The Thai young people are a bit more reserved generally, but one by one, I started seeing them raise their hands and began to sing louder. I felt like God’s presence was being manifested among us.

Today, the momentum has continued. They are all working together in groups on media projects. Laughing and joking. Jamming out (we have some excellent blues musicians in the group). Eating and eating. This is the beginning of a wonderful convergance of national talents.

Today the group went to a Christian radio station. Tonight, its a night on the town, eating out and visiting the night market. They come from different parts of the country so its a real treat for them. Keep praying.
