Love Thailand 2011 Team Member's Testimony
Love Thailand Mission Trip has been a precious and refreshing experience. I have learned alot from the people and environment I encountered with. Many people, young and old, havebeen through real suffering and experienced losses in their lives. But the moment they opened up their hearts to God, their lives are renewed. When I learned about the stories of how Goddelivered them, I cannot help feeling amazed by the depths of God's love. It's an eternal hope & promise for the people that 'nothing can separate us from the love of God'. 'What kills the body cannot kill the soul'. One of the highlights of this trip was the day we went for prayerwalk inside a Buddhist temple. We had the opportunity to talk to and pray for a lady who wasfacing a major decision of whether to become a nun or not. We also prayed for a nun who hadserious backache. As we interacted with them, we can tell that they were still searching forthe one true God who can heal their hearts and their body. I believe that those were all divine appointments from God. This is the driving force for me to keep sharing the Good News to more people so that their lives may be changed too.The people there have so little materially, but their simple way of life tells me that I don’tneed a lot to lead a meaningful life. On the day I was back, Kevin (my fiance) shared withme an insight he had from a quote and it relates well to my mission trip experience -- ‘Thebiggest desert is the ocean itself’. The ocean is like the money, power and status that manypeople are running after in the world. No matter how much they have, they do not seem to besatisfied. They only want more and more to fill the empty hole inside their hearts. Some slipinto depression when they saw all they have been striving for have led them to nothing. Whatis the purpose of life? 'What is good for men or women to gain the whole world but lost theirlife?' I am so touched by the unconditional sacrifices of the missionaries there. While they did nothave much of their own, they still gave all they have to the people. They opened orphanage,children home, churches and bible schools to serve and reach out to places where the Gospelis unknown. In the process of their faithful offering, God continued to provide to their needsmiraculously. Their faith soared above the circumstances that they could move mountainsafter mountains. Their testimonies were examples of how God is indeed faithful and just andwill provide when we trust and follow Him. Coming back from the mission trip, my love for the Thai & Karen people have grown. I went there with the intention to give something to the needy but ended up receiving more. I hope tobe able to apply what I have learned from the trip -- that is, to live a simple life, to love Godand love people authentically. This first mission trip experience is only the beginning. God willing, I hope to go back again. Hopefully I'll be able to speak more Thai and would have developed greater tolerance over mosquitos’ bites by then :) Lastly, I want to especially thank a lovely couple (as requested, I won't mention yournames here) who have sponsored me to join the trip as a wedding gift. It is truly special and unforgettable. THANK YOU to Everyone who have supported 'Love Thailand' in one way oranother! God bless Thailand. รักประเทศไทย

Bristol 10K 2011
What an EXCITING event it was!!! For most of us, months were poured in towards preparing for this event. I'm glad to announce that the Love Thailand team's participation in the Bristol 10K run was a HUGE success!! We all managed to finish the race and had fun! Personally, this was an amazing experience. It took a while for me to decide whether I would do this run or not and for a while after registering, I was still panicking since I haven't actively been exercising for a very long time. Once training picked up, I got more confident with the outcomes of my effort and all of us runners supported each other in encouragement. Some of us even did training sessions together! Around 2 weeks before the run, I managed to land myself a foot injury and even up until now I haven't fully recovered. I also know that there are others like Hui King who did not manage to perform to their full potential due to injuries. But praise the Lord, He carried us all across the finish line on his grace and shielded us from harm with his mercy!On the day of the event, all of us arrived early, as to be expected of us excited participants. We had prayer together in the midst of over 11000 people who attended the event including spectators. After putting away bags and sorting out our numbers and chips, we head off to the line-up. I was amazed be the sheer number of runners, but even among the crowd, some of us still managed to run into friends (oh, the little blessings that God pour over us~) =) Not everyone started together, but as the race started and went on, even those who were together, drew apart. Everyone strived to do their best chasing the finish line, with eyes fixated on God's glory. Once everyone finished and regathered, we stayed around for pictures and another prayer. The event was truly exciting and I would definitely do it again! Congratulations again to everyone who ran and finished. The results are secondary to this amazing feat you have accomplished for God!~Ricky Au
Ecological Fish Farming!
We are very excited to announce that this year's community fund project will be converting an existing pond into a fish farm at CareCorner Orphanage that can be sustainable for the orphanage with local food. The fishes reared would provide nutrition for the children at the orphanage and possibly have enough surplus to raise a small income to help the day to day cost of running the orphanage. The team is aiming to raise all the funds for this project.
The project involved raising the pond by filling the pond with soil until it is 1.5-2 metres deep. This will allow sunlight to permeate the entire pond to produce a eco live at the base of the pond. We will introduce snake head (toman) fish to eat the sickly fish, tilapia which feeds on algae and greens and cat fish to eat the droppings of the other fishes. We need to provide enough oxygen and with this ecological system and we will need very little or no fish feeds.
