In August 2001 a group of students from around the UK (and one from Canada) went with OMF international, a Christian organistaion working in Eastern Asia, to Phitsanoluk in Central Thailand. The purpose was not just to have a holiday in a hot and exciting country but a chance to serve others by teaching English, helping to support an OMF couple in their work there and to learn a bit more about Thai culture and serving God overseas.
I had the privledge to go on this trip, and each day we sent back an e-mail diary and pictures, which was uploaded onto the web the next day. The journal hopefully gives an insight and flavour of what we got upto and why, check it out at:
Having been back for a few months now I can say that the trip in the summer still lingers strongly in my memory for lots of reasons: we made lots of good friends there; shared fun times as a team; but most of all the memory that lingers is how the news of Jesus and his death on the cross for our forgiveness transcends all cultures, and as a result needs to be heard in every place on the globe.
