Dear family in Christ, ,
Peace to be you all. Chiang Rai Province in northern Thailand often appeals to tourists because there are several ethnic minorities concentrated. The most well-known of all is the Kayan Lahwi, the group of women who wear brass neck rings. They are a sub-group of Red Karen, also called Padaung. Due to conflict with the military regime in Myanmar, many Kayan tribes fled to the Thai border area and set up refugee camps, living a hard and difficult life and in their eyes, reflecting an uncertainty and hopelessness for the future.
Praise the Lord for the opportunity to be able to provide them with necessary supplies and share the Gospel with them. We believe that no matter how large or small a people group, each is precious in God's sight. Therefore, we must seek that which was lost so that all nations can live in the love and grace of God, and regain eternal hope.
"Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12

親愛的家人
泰國北部清萊省因為聚集了不少的少數民族,經常吸引旅客前往觀光。其中在泰緬邊境的長頸族,更是以在頸部掛銅環的獨特性,最廣為人知。這些居住在泰緬邊境的長頸族,原是屬於緬甸的巴東族,由於巴東族與緬甸軍政府的衝突,所以逃到泰緬邊境,自成一個難民區,他們克難而艱辛的生活著,眼中的無奈似乎透露著對未來的迷茫。
感謝神,使我們能帶著物資去探訪關顧,同時分享耶穌基督的救恩,我們相信不論民族人數的多與寡,各各都是神眼中的寶貝,因此凡失喪的,都要盡力去尋回,以致萬民萬族能在神的愛中,同享恩惠,重新拾回生命的光彩與捉住永恆的盼望。
「除他以外,別無拯救,因為在天下人間,沒有賜下別的名,我們可以靠著得救。」
使徒行傳4:12
