So, LTI Camp was a great success. It was located in Chiang Saen, which is about forty-five minutes closer Burma. Sixty-eight students attended, most of them being new Christians. They participated in discipleship and training for maturing in and sharing their faith. At the end of the week they were able to use what they learned as we went on a beggar’s mission into some local villages. Many of them were very nervous as it was the first time for them to share their faith. For most Thai people, it is very hard to be open about being a Christian because many times their friends and family are not an d it can result in ridicule and shame in the Buddhist culture they have grown up in. Khop khum Prajao though for 228 villagers hearing the gospel and 28 accepting Christ that week! My 
team stayed the night at a small church in the village. We were able to talk with two boys that afternoon and one of them accepted Christ. He was from Laos, which is a country north of Thailand that is closed, meaning it is illegal to talk about Christianity there. How awesome that we had an opportunity to talk to someone from there!The next morning was another great experience: I had the opportunity to watch my breakfast being killed,
cleaned, cut, and served! After slicing the chicken's neck, it is then necessary to drain all of the blood out of the body by holding it upside down. Step two involves defeathering the chicken by hand. The chicken is then cleaned, chopped up, cooked, 
and served. Khob khum Prajao for a great meal and a terrific week!
