Ram 1 University Recruitment! =)

Many of you have heard about our Campus Ministry. During the next couple weeks, it is crucial we are on Campus promoting our UCF club. It is at this time that the NEW University Students are registering for their classes. So some of the Thai staff went to a training to be able to help the students register. Yesterday, we went on Campus and were their promoting our club as well as helping them register.

I have that recruiter/sales person personality. I am not shy to talk to new people and if I believe in something, I will promote it. So, we are walking on campus and I start saying "Swadeekha" (hello) to the people passing by. Well, apparently that is not Thai. People look and smile at one another, but you do not say hello to each other. I choose not to care because Sarah and I were both there more as the bait. You see, everyone is obsessed with foreigners in Thailand. And so, we were to be the bait for them to want to come to the club (Whatever gets them to come and hear God's Word, right? ;-) ) I went up to people and shared with them about our club. In my broken Thai, I shared with them that we get together and play games, eat delicious food, study the Bible, play music (everyone has an ear for music so we have some awesome jam out sessions =) ), play sports, become really close friends, and go on some service projects throughout the year. Then One of my Thai friends would continue in Thai saying...well I do not know =).

I have to laugh now, because my open way of saying hello, walking up to people, and inviting other people promoting their clubs to our club (apparently you can only be apart of one club...I still do not understand this one)embarrassed my shy Thai teammates. But, it made all the other Thais smile and chuckle.

Yesterday was a hot and humid one. I believe that I had three orange juices and three water bottles in a matter of just three hours. And looking back I can praise the Lord for the energy He provided our team with as we were actively on our feet. Now, together we have to pray for people to walk into the doors of our club, learn who He truly is and accept Him as their own personal Lord and Savior.
