Communication

Today we had another great day of discussions and prayer with our team here in Thailand.

Our main topic of discussion this morning was the importance of communication and learning to connect with those who are of a different generation. These days there are so many ways to communicate; newsletters, e-mail, skype, facebook, etc. Some people like lots of information, others say they don't want so much. Hmmmm. We know that it is impossible to please everyone, but we sure would like to try.

As we focus on the needs of this community and try to communicate with those who are giving and praying for us, our goal is to be effective in all areas.

What do YOU think? Do you like to hear from us often? Do you like to hear all the details? Do you prefer e-mail or paper via snail mail? We would love to hear from you. If you have a facebook account, join the Team Possible Network and tell us what you think. Or you can comment on this page. We will try to determine the most popular form of communication and see if it is effective.

Looking forward to hearing from you...

Day of meetings and prayer for Thailand

Today was a day of meetings and prayer spent with other workers here in Thailand. It was a great opportunity to find out what everyone is working on and to focus on our future Goals. It is exciting to see what God is doing here.

God is really stirring His people and moving in incredible ways. Some of the ministries that are happening here are; outreach, college ministries, church planting, leader development and training, children ministries and more.

One of our personal ministries is focused on college student outreach. Almost a year ago, a team from from 2 churches in the U.S. came and built us a beautiful Coffee Shop for our ministry inside of the TLC Center. The coffee shop is open Mon-Fri 11am - 8:30pm. and is located just blocks away from Chiang Mai University. It is a beautiful area that has room for large and small groups to congregate. We are hoping that people of all walks of life will love to "hang out" with their friends. As always, we hope for opportunities to "show" the Love of Christ in order to open the doors for opportunities to share about Him.

Please pray for volunteers for this ministry as well as people to come in and enjoy this wonderful space He has provided. God is good and we are blessed to be called His!

Blessings,

Team Possible Update

Greetings from the Scott Family!

It is hard to believe that our family has been in ministry for almost a year and a half here in Thailand. It has been an amazing time for our family and we are so thankful that God has used us in so many ways. This is just a brief overview of the past year and a half.

• March 2008 – Moved to Thailand, searched for housing and started Language School.
• May 2008 : began the process of starting a children’s ministry at our Thai church. The ministry grew quickly , consisting of nursery for newborns to 2 year olds, Sunday School classes for children 3-5 and 6-11, having 15 – 25 children weekly and 12 volunteers. This ministry headed by Cheryl, but helped by Troy and occasionally Nathaniel and Naomi. (In April 2009 Cheryl handed over this ministry to a Thai National)
• June 2008 began teaching English as a Second language to children ages 5-9 as a ministry outreach to the local families. This ministry was started by Nathaniel, with Naomi, Troy and Cheryl’s help. (This ministry continued through the school year and ended when summer break began in June 2009)
• August 2008 – First outreach to the Karen Hill Tribe people on Doi Intinon, and the Hope House Children's home. Our family was able to play games, sing songs, teach some English and buy some coffee from Karen Village.
• October 2008 – Hosted a couple from the states along with overseeing our first building project to the Hope House Children’s home (ceiling, lights and fan in girls dorm room) which was funded by the couple. (The Martins)
• February 2009 – Hosted our first team from the States and oversaw several large building projects for the team. The first 2 large projects were to 2 dorm rooms for Bible Students, as well as building a coffee shop for a ministry to College Students at the University of Chiangmai, as well as several other smaller projects. The third major project was to build a dorm for the boys at the Hope House Children’s Home complete with bathrooms!
• April 2009 – Began coffee shop ministry at TLC (ministry to University Students).
• June 2009 – Third outreach to the Hope House Children’s Home (met the 10 new kids that were able to come because of the new dorm) and a trip to the Karen village to buy Coffee. (We want to bless them with our business).
• July 2009 – Led worship at AGMF Conference, and began preparation for future teams.
• August 2009 – Spoke at Thai church for Thai Mother’s Day, Troy continues to work towards taking his 6^th grade equivalency test in Bangkok.

Items of Prayer:

• Continued service here in Thailand, the ability to do whatever He calls us to and to do it well.
• New teams that are planning on coming out this year and next – finding the right need for each team and the funding necessary for each member
• Coffee Shop Ministry – opportunities to build relationships with the students and to share Christ with them.

Personal

• Continued health and safely.
• Our Children – spiritual growth and opportunities for them to show the Love of Christ to others.
• C. Balance – For us as parents to have time to do our ministries (and to do them well), along with making time for our kids AND to have time for fun!
