"Love Mountain" - Noh Bo


Well I am finally posting some photos from the border! A group of us went (for 5 weeks) to teach English and to share the love of Jesus. It was a beautiful experience and I met some amazing people. We stayed in Mae La refugee camp and also in a boarding school in Noh Bo (a village close to Mae Sot on the Thai-Burma border.) We were living with the Karen refugees who have been marginalised for their faith and ethnicity for about 60 years. Please pray for them to continue in their faith and perseverance.
