Subway, a Songtaew, and Chicken feet!

Yesterday was a hugely productive day for the media team!
With the help of two of our new friends Naan and Doh (youth from the Thai Church)- we made our way via Van to the Airport to shoot a scene for an ACTION video. And when I say took a van to the Airport, I mean playing a game of sardines on an 1h long trip- I think at one point we had 23 ish people in a 16 passenger van.
Now some of you might be wondering about how filming in an Airport went... as if being a group of Farang (or Foreigners) doesn't make you stick out enough- carrying video equipment- and setting up shots shouldn't draw any extra attention right?! Well... the bad news was we did get asked to leave- but the good news was that they only asked us to leave at the end of the shoot John and I may have walked into a restricted area... OOOooops!? Other then that it was SMOOOTH sailing - and we were even able to pick up Subway to celebrate!
In the afternoon we joined up with the other action team and jumped on a songtaew- a pickup truck with seats in the back- and made the hour long trek to a Burmese neighbourhood to share the gospel and worship~ and let me tell you these people know how to worship! The team was able to help in the band, share testamonies, and perform a drama. At the end of the service Pastor Isaiah (a Burmese man) asked if there was anyone who wanted to receive Christ and 10-15 people came up!!! I say 10-15 because there was at least another 5-10 that came up at the same time to ask for healing- and after praying for all that were there we rejoiced as people were saved and healed!
To end of the JOY FILLED evening we celebrated with a meal at Mo's house... and what better way to celebrate than eat a big bowl of rice, Thai esque salad and Chicken feet- which... if you don't think about what you are eating actually tastes great!

Psalm 96
Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth.
Sing to the LORD, praise his name; proclaim his salvation day after day.
Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples.
