February 16

This afternoon we started working with ARK International (a YWAM Perth ministry that runs here in Bangkok).  They go into the ‘communities’ (slums – they don’t call them that because of the negative connotation that it has, but that’s what they are) and pick up a bunch of kids to run an afternoon program with them.  We picked them up from 2 different communities, and brought them to a park to play games with them.  We played octopus tag with them, it was so much fun.  They all just jump on your back, and ride from one end of the court to the other that we were playing on.  The funniest part about it, was that if you got tagged, instead of them sitting down with you, they would get off you when you sat down, and they would keep running.  It was so much fun to see them have so much fun playing the game with us.

Then after, we shared a bit of the gospel and prayed with them.  They seemed really receptive to it, it was really cool.  They all listen so well to it, and seem to be taking it all in, and starting to receive it.

There was one little girl that I was sitting with, she had this little barbie with her.  She was so cute, she kept saying how the barbie looked like me, because it was white.  She got me to put up the barbie’s hair like mine was and everything, it was so cute.
