Mae Sot is located in Northwest Thailand close to the Myanmar border. Our group spent time teaching children in the local villages, and refugee camps teaching Bible stories and songs. Our Thai friend Blue, who is working with a organization/ministry who is working among the the refugees, was our contact there, and was a tremendous blessing. Being able to see his heart for these people and desire to bring the truth of Jesus to unreached people groups was amazing. Along the border of Myanmar and Thailand, an enormous settlement of around 60,000 refugees from Myanmar are living. Many camps are illegal, and it is difficult for the Burmese to find work. Many plant corn for around 80 Baht a day ($2.50) Our team had a beautiful serving and living together for a short few days, and I loved getting to know each person better. It was my favorite place in Thailand that I have been to so far. I loved it, and would like to return soon. Here are the pictures!
Here are some videos of some of the songs we taught in Thai and Spanish...and the last one is the children singing in Thai!
