Mahatthai Work




While the team was here, half of them worked hard at Mahatthai. They helped in so many ways. One was being a light to the residents in the neighborhood. Another was their physical acts of service. And another still was the time they spent working on VBS' in two of the Mahatthai neighborhoods.

Stepping back I saw the hearts of high school team open for specific children and watching these children comfortably attach themselves to the students was absolutely wonderful.

Physically this team worked extremely hard. Not to mention they are practically doing hard labor in a sauna (it is just that hot over here)! Here is a list of what was done:
--They built two homes
--Re-painted one home
--Dug out the area in front of the Sala and put in concrete
--Sprayed for termites (that were eating away our Sala)
--Painted artistic things inside the Sala (very kid friendly...we love it!)
--Built a cabinet
--Built a sign for the neighborhood (a sign that contains government information about the neighborhood on it...the men of Mahatthai were very grateful for this assistance)
--Moved dirt to make the road more level (we have a flooding problem)
--And Cut the grass and cleaned around the this neighborhood.

The VBS' were also wonderful! The children came and enjoyed hearing about the Lord in such perfect, broken down ways; ways that these children could understand. An earlier post goes into more detail about one of these VBS'.

This team went to great lengths to be a blessing to this community. And WE just thank them for their hearts and the over and beyond work/time they put in. The lives that they have invested in have been touched. The work of Christ's hands are evident. Thank you Wisconsin Team for letting God use you as you made an God given impact here. =)
