I'll do my very best to post this correctly but it's a little difficult since everything on this computer is in Thai. = )
My team arrived safely in Bangkok a few days ago and we've been loving it ever since. I cannot possibly express the wave of goodness that God has hit me with these past few days. Our God is so ridiculously faithful! I remember my trip to Thailand last year, in my DTS, and the things that God did in me were huge! He showed me a glimpse of His heart for these people and i've longed to come back ever since. And here i am, yet again on an uncertain adventure in the arms of a loving God. It doesn't get any better than Him.
The team is adjusting well. My guys aren't quite used to the Asian culture's quietness as they're a bit more on the um... rambunctious side. Bangkok in itself is pretty overwhelming but i'm so glad to see how little the radical culture shift has shocked our team. God is good.
Thus far, we've been mostly in and out of lectures on Human Trafficking and Sexual and Economic Exploitation. We get into the practicum of ministry in those areas in on Monday. In the mean time, check out these video links and you might get a little glimpse of what i'm talking about.

God has reall torn open my heart since coming here again; i've genuinely missed these ministry opportunities and i'm cherishing every minute of it. It's difficult seeing the injustice and the consequences of a Godless worldview, the chains around this nation but God is at work and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is great freedom.
That's all i can write for now. I love you all and i miss you dearly. Pray for me, my team, and God's glory as i pray for you.
Because of the Cross,
Samuel
