Unity Networking Summits--great idea!


In the summer of 2009, Gary began holding Unity Networking Summits for communities.
These photos are from one in Pattaya, which is the sex-trade capital of Thailand.
People from various churches of all denominations, and NGOS (Non-government organizations such as World Vision Pattaya) came together to discuss the challenges and opportunies in their community.

Then, in workshops, they found ways they can work together to solve problems, support each other, and help the children in Pattaya.

Good work!!

Train the Trainers University--it's FUN!


In June and July 2009, we held several weeks of Train the Trainer classes.

The top photo is of our staff, Kook, Simon, and Ann. Simon is the Thai National Coordinator for all of our training and outreaches. He travels everywhere with us, and is our translator. Kook and Ann are KidsQuest trainers as well and also work in
inventory, administration and communications.

The middle photo is of Ann, Simon, Kook and Gary working on the KidsQuest Thailand website.

The bottom photo shows Kook, Ann and Paula after a Christian Clown Make-up session.

Training is fun!

Success Seminar


On May 22, Gary gave a Success Seminar at the request of Our Home Chapel (Foursquare World Base) Church in Bangkok.

The seminar itself was a success! Over 50 people came, including about 25 business people from the community who had never been to the church before.

Pastor Dton (next to Gary in the group photos), has asked him to teach a Success Series.

Burma


In May 2009, we visited Burma. The Foursquare Church is active there and have several building under construction. Gary and George are at one of the new churches.

Many Burmese children have never seen a doctor. The medical care is poor.

In the photos below, you see some children waiting at the new medical center, which is under construction in the background behind Gary and Philip.

The last photo is of the Friendship Bridge between Thailand and Burma at Mai Sai.

Stay away from drugs!


In April, we trained students from Indochine Bible College to perform "Drug Free", a fun, but powerful show for Drug Prevention for kids. They perform this outreach for public schools in the community.
