DTS Toowoomba Team partnering with Tamar Center Korat

We have spent the past three weeks in Korat serving with the Tamar Centre Korat. It was such a blessing to work with them. We had opportunities to serve at nursing homes, orphanages, and hospitals. As well as ran English teaching camps in the primary schools here, where our team was completely allowed to share the gospel with the students, we played and taught them worship songs, shared our testimonies to them, all in schools with large idols dedicating them to Buddhism. Teaching English to kids of all ages was a huge blessing to us. We saw quite a few kids come to Christ, and in addition to that the love of these kids was amazing. They all loved us no matter what. The teachers and board members were so welcoming of us in their schools, and every school we went to their staff worked extremely hard to make sure we were comfortable. Another weekly part of the schedule was going into a nearby village, playing with the kids and sharing our testimonies to the people there, this was an amazing and eye opening experience for a lot of people on our team. It was amazing to see how God used us to bless these people. Our time in Korat was amazing, and a huge thanks goes to the people at the Tamar Centre! They are amazing!

Kwamwang (Hope) Kids Club

Kwamwang (Hope) Kids Club

Motto: "Work Hard, Be Disciplined and Love God"

Its our joy to introduce Kwamwang (Hope) Kids Club members. We have been going to Non Ta Ko village for 3 years and have known these kids from when they were very young and as we prayed we felt God leading us to start a kids club. A club where they learn not only about God but we also help them in their studies, build their character and teach them dignity of labour. We have named the kids club as Kwamwang (Hope) Kids Club because we want to bring hope to children at risk. We will be having many activities and social works and competitions too. Keep on checking our blog for more updates of fun-crazy pictures about our club. Here are our kids club members

We would request you to pray for these kids for they are the future of their village. Or if you would like to make a commitment to pray for a kid for one year it would really encourage us. All we are asking from you is to pray and let us wait and see what God will do through these kids.

Cat Fish Project

It was an exciting day for us as we started the Cat Fish Project with 500 catfish as the first batch at Ban Non Te Surin (Waew's Village). God has been good to us all these time and these 500 cat fish are not on their own so let them grow up with your prayers and we believe it will help the family to sustain and earn some income from this catfish project. God Bless!

It all started this way

Ministry at Non Din Daeng

4 nights and 3 days at Non Din Daeng with the YWAM, DTS Team Lonavala, India for ministry in the school (English Camp), at Compassion Ministry (a school run by the church at Non Din Daeng), having fellowship with the youths and getting to know them better and doing church ministry at the same time the team taught the students dance, songs, b-boying, shared bible stories, testimonies, played games with them and teaching them about Jesus Christ and praying with them.

The first School we did ministry was a big school and more than 100 students were present for the English Camp as we divided them into three groups according to their class. We had fun in learning in English through Conversation, Games, Songs, Actions, Drawings and in the afternoon session the team did ministry in the form of dance, songs, sharing testimonies and above all these God has spoken to 8 students who've submitted themselves to know more about Christ and they are not Christians and we are very happy for them. We prayed for them as they came up on stage to start a new life in Christ. 3 of them turn up for youth fellowship in the evening and even this morning at the church and we can see they are serious with God and we believe and pray and also request you to keep them in your prayers as they start to know more and more about Christ.

The ministry at compassion ministry was also a part of God's plan bringing more than 80 kids, we really had a good time though noisy as they are with their ages :-). Here too we had three groups divided and taught them English in the morning in games, drawings, conversation, actions and songs. The afternoon session was fully equipped with fun and action in games, b-boying, dances, sharing stories and praying for them.

All the things we did were all possible because of God's grace and plan for each and every person we meet out there. Not by our might, strength, talents or not by anything that we possess but it happened because it was the purpose of God and we were just following his orders and fulfilling it through the prayers and words of encouragement from you all. To God be the Glory!
