Mae Sot

I know I just posted a lengthy blog yesterday, but I could use your prayers.

In a few hours I will be leaving Bangkok for Mae Sot. Mae Sot is a border city to Burma, six hours north of Bangkok. I will be going with a team of 10 people from one of the international churches I am involved with. We will be in Mae Sot today through late Sunday/early Monday. Pray our travels are safe. We are taking a van there and back, driving through the night both ways. Pray the drivers stay awake and aware.

While there we plan to do a lot of construction as well as spending some time playing with the refugee children. The team lead (a friend and mentor of mine) has been heavily involved in the work in Mae Sot for the past few months. About two months ago he took a team to do much of the same things. Pray that he has wisdom in the leadership decisions that fall upon him. Also pray for our team. We don't know many details about what our living and working situations will be like when we arrive. And, pray for the hearts of these Burmese refugees. May God grant them hope and salvation from the hell they now live in.
