Bob and Chris spent three weeks encouraging the Lahu in putting faith into action. Here is a video of our time.

We started on the trip knowing that we would speak at the Red Lahu Convention. As the trip progressed we found out about two other conventions that we could speak at. The very first Mekong Region Lahu Youth Consulation was taking place and Lahu from five countries were invited. Only Thailand,Burma and Laos showed up, but it was a time to begin building a network of people who will work together in evangelism, church planting and community development.

The highlight of the trip was working as a family to put on the children's program at the Red Lahu Youth Conference. Imagine being told at 10 pm that you are in charge of three hours of content for the children the next day. We did not have any idea there even WAS a children's program at this conference. We had brought no resources or materials. We did a quick brainstorming session and then began to look around the village to see what we could use. Chris found some firewood, a piece of yellow paper, a dirt clod, a red chair, a paper sack, a bar of soap and a branch with leaves -- all you need to give a "Wordless Book" explanation of the Gospel.
