Trever and Maureen in Thailand

Maureen and Trevor are UCA volunteers working at a small church in the suburbs of Bangkok, a part of the Church of Christ in Thailand which has about 300 churches. They write:
We stayed in central Bangkok for a week at the Christian Guest House - a good place for orientation.We met with Scott and Rachael (UCA Mission Co-Workers based in Bangkok) and saw some of their work at Klong Toey, Bangkok's largest slum area. On the first Sunday we worshipped at the Anglican church and met Lyn Arnold, SA's former Premier, who is the CEO of World Vision for SE Asia.
We are now staying at the pastor's house on the second floor. The ground floor is the church centre and holds about 36 people. They have given us a warm welcome and provided what we need. Last Saturday we attended a community function on National Children's Day. We were asked to present Samaritan Purse boxes, which had been donated from Australia, to about 50 children and this was really great.
We start English classes next week for 6 nights a week from 5 - 8.30pm with 2 classes of 1.5 hours.It will take a lot of preparation.It has been well organised. We are also helping in a primary school about 5k away in a grade 4 class.
At the end of April the church is having a school holiday program for children for a week. It will include English classes, crafts, game etc. It sounds exciting.
As we write this letter we are looking out over a rice field where some men are catching frogs. I guess frog may be on the menu tonight at the local cafe!
