Here is GRI's first team to
Thailand in 2007. The team will go and prayer-walk and build relationships among the Shan people living along the northern Thai border with
Burma. From the left, we are Jodi, Rebekah, Kerri and Nicole (our wonderful team leader). We leave on Friday, April 20, to pray over this very difficult area. GRI has met with closed door after closed door as we try and begin a full-time work among the Shan refugees in this region. So, we have decided to go back to the beginning, and prayer must be the starting point of any ministry. The Shan have been oppressed by their works-based religion for centuries, and we believe we can best serve them on our knees now. However, we have great expectations for our role in
Thailand, which we call the Burma Outpost Project, and it is our desire to have a full-time team living there and serving these incredibly oppressed people in several tangible ways.
We will add to this blog from Thailand, so please continue to check it out. And, Lord willing, our full-time Burma Outpost Project team will start adding to this soon!
Thank you for your prayers and support!
Kerri, for the whole team
