We arrived here in Roi Et with a bit of apprehension. What would we do? Could we, with our community-development and agriculture-orientation, be re-tooled to support and encourage growing church and camping ministries?
Fortunately, the language and culture we are working in is only marginally different from Laos. And it has become rapidly apparent that there is no lack of work to do.
Ruthie is continuing her spiritual direction via Skype with directees in many countries. Our internet connection here is better than in Laos. That helps. She is also leading a Bible study for women in the farm and camp as well as helping organize the financial systems on the farm and foundation/camp.
I am working alongside the farm manager to help improve administrative and financial systems. As well, I have been asked to help develop a leadership training program for about 40 leaders from our churches. That is supposed to start next month, but I doubt we're going to be ready in time... All of this is pretty fun, fulfilling work--and yes, there is more than enough to do.
