Wednesday 6th

Today we ran English club at the university. It's a group that meets about once a month to do random activities that involve speaking in English. It was all Christmas themed so we started by teaching them 'The Twelve Days ofChristmas' and playing some games. The main part of it was doing different activities with them. Esther taught them to make doves out of doilies, Phil taught them to make origami Christmas trees and I did a spot the difference and word find with them. It was a good opportunity to talk to students who don't come to the youth house events. I don't think any of us got into deep conversations but I was able to talk to them a bit about the meaning of the words in the word find (allChristmas things) and we got to invite them all to the camp.

In the evening we had our second cool cafe. I gave my testimony and P'Johnny gave a talk which I couldn't understand (coz it was in Thai) but it was really cool coz he did this origami thing as he told a story and in the end he opened the paper up and it was in the shape of a cross. Stuff like that is really effective with Thai students and everyone thought that it was really cool. I think cool cafe is one of the best things that they run at the youth house, it's really awesome to just be able to hang out with the students and get to know them. A lot of the people that come aren't Christians but in general they're really open to hearing about Jesus, and no one gets put off by the testimonies and gospel talks.

We would really appreciate prayer that we would continue to develop relationships with students and be able to communicate with them enough to share the gospel with them or help bring them to a point where they want to hear the gospel from someone who can explain it in their own language.
