In One Week: Chenglin Lee

I'm going to start off with some facts about Thailand:

• Most are Buddhist--only about 1.5% are proclaimed Christians.
• There are about 2.8 Million people involved in sex work, many who are poor and sold into it as slaves
• Many refugees come to Thailand as it is a safe haven from political unrest and instability in the region.

While these things break my heart, the place still seems....nebulous and abstract. It hasn't quite hit me yet that I'm leaving Southern California for 1 month to spread Christ in Bangkok. Hmmm......

Still I am excited! Not everyone gets the opportunity to do cross-cultural missions, and I praise God that he has chosen me for such a task. I long for the day in heaven when people from all nations and all cultures will be worshipping and giving glory to God, and to hear and see the Thai people and culture being used mightily for the glory of God!

Things are still unclear in my head, but as the trip gets closer maybe I'll have more to say.

Until next time,
Chenglin Lee
