I’m barely past a week back from my last visit to Hot
Springs, but I’m already well into planning for the next two times I hope to be
able to return.
One is in November of this year which will be (hopefully)
a two purpose trip.
First, I am there for a longer stretch in order to
complete the field assignment portion of the Directed Reading and Research
credit I am taking through Tyndale Seminary (towards my
ever-elusive-but-getting-closer Masters of Divinity degree). During
that time I will be doing what I normally do in terms of teaching ESL and Bible
lessons and sermons, but this time it will require formalized lesson plans with
objectives and assessments and video samples.
The reading component to that credit has also already been well underway
all summer, and I am so enriched by the authors and ideas who have deeply
contributed to my perspectives on cross cultural teaching and ministry.
The second hoped-for purpose of the November trip is to
gather a team of five English readers to participate in the language and
literature enrichment program we have initiated at Hot Springs. Specifics and details about that are below,
so please check it out and share and ask for an application if you think that
might be you. It would be my delight to introduce you
(welcome you back as the case may be) to our incredible Thai family and some
very eager English learners.
That’s the first trip.
The second trip is scheduled for next January and will
likely take on more of a leadership-vision theme. For this trip I am hoping to gather two to
three (or more if God prompts folks this way) pastors and evangelists who are
curious to see what God is up to in both urban and rural settings in Northern
Thailand. Again, the details are
below. Again, please consider and share
and inquire if you think God might have something in mind for you or your
church, or someone you know.
English Literacy
Program – November 2018 – Two Weeks
English-speaking readers needed to participate in an ESL
enhancement visit to Hot Springs Children’s Home near Chiang Mai Thailand. Will
include daily reading (to and listening to) children ages 8 to 18,
participation in morning and evening devotion times, participation in Sunday
morning worship service, and some out-trips to learn more about Thai culture. While opened to seasoned travellers, this
trip is also perfect for a “first time out” individual looking to expand their
global perspective. Cost is under $3,000
(mostly airfare). Application and
references required. Team is limited to
five people.
