An update for all those following my time in Thailand. I will be leaving tomorrow night via night bus to Khoa Lak. Khoa Lak is a beach city 12 hrs by bus south of Bangkok. Step Ahead has four preschools; English, German, and Computer classes; and a purse manufacturing ministry there. I will be going to learn about the different development techniques and to help with the different ministries. I am not sure yet what I will be doing, but I have been asked to come and help for 1 week. I am looking forward to getting out of Bangkok again. With last week traveling to the mountains and this week traveling to the beach I will be well refreshed to finish my last three weeks in the office strong. Pray God will use me in Khoa Lak: That I will be given the words to speak, will do the activities I should do, and meet the people I should meet.
Friday was a momentous day for my internship because it was Timmy's, my fellow intern, last day of work. We were able to get the business modeling system up and running for modeling before he left, which was a huge answer to prayer. Now I will be modelling different scenarios for Step Ahead and writing reports on them for future planning. When I return from Khoa Lak I will begin transferring accounting and loan tracking data from the old system to the new one I have been working on. Please pray that goes well and is successful. Pray these programs help Step Ahead sustainably help the women and men in the Bangkok slums.
Finally for this post, tomorrow I will be sharing with the international church I went to Mae Sot with about our trip. Please pray that God would give me wisdom to say what I ought to spur fellow believers on to the future actions they should take to minister to the refugees in Mae Sot. After that I am teaching English at Tallia as usual and then headed to the bus station. I am not sure when the bus leaves; so pray it leaves after 7 and that I can buy tickets for it as late as 6:30 tomorrow. I really want to teach English all the way to 5 when the class ends and then it is about an hour drive to the bus station. Pray I get on a bus, and can sleep during the night.
