Chon Buri



After arriving in the province of Chon Buri, we quickly got settled in and then Dave Sinclaire-Peters picked us up from our hotel.  He took us to the church in Angsila.  Definitely was a spirit filled place where God was doing some amazing things!  Heard a story about a man whose leg was healed and he liternally threw away his cane and walked! This had just occurred about 3 weeks before we came.

That evening we went on a prayer walk through the village.  A Thai lady from the church took us around the town and into people’s homes where we gave them a gift and then prayed for them. It was definitely a memory I will never forget. When we returned it was time for church.  John Esau shared his testimony and we sang Happy Birthday to Adam Braun in Thai. I’d say definitely a birthday he’ll never forget.  Happy belated birthday to Adam!

 The next day we took a sun tao to the Waterbuffalo races. It is a once in a year festival where they ride the waterbuffalo through the streets. You don’t want to be near the finish line because the buffalo are intoxicated with alcohol ( crazed 1000 pound creature hurtling its way down the road ). Unfortunately, due to threat of rain they cancelled the day. Of coarse it never did rain, but we decided to go back the next day. We went back but never did get to see any races. We walked through some exhibits and did a little shopping and had to leave to catch our flight to Phuket.
