The week of Sept. 13th was a privileged one, as our family had the blessed opportunity to host our friend and church brother, Jeff Smith, as he came to minister in Chiang Mai and in Cambodia. During his week with us, Jeff engaged a number of Grace classrooms on many levels in demonstrating the variety of creative ways to use our God-given talents for His kingdom work. The evenings were spent providing additional workshops in the area of creative arts in worship. We had the chance to share some of the cultural cuisine of northern Thailand, and thoroughly enjoyed the chance to fellowship and minister with this amazing man of God. It was exciting to hear students talking about how the workshops impacted how they view ministry and doing Kingdom work!
Jeff also worked with another local missionary and her ministry, Powerpack Thailand. Powerpack is geared toward using creative arts to minister to Thai children and help Thai nationals to develop witnessing tools through culturally appropriate song, dance, and performance. Much of what Jenny uses is adapted from Jeff and his ministry, Salt and Light Ministries. It was a true blessing to be a part of this time of outreach, ministry, and worship of our Lord and Savior. Thank you Jeff and Jenny for allowing our family to be a part of something so special!!
