Pictures to the left are from the Friends Forever Retreat. This was Campus Outreach Thailand's evangelistic retreat for reaching Thai students at NEU with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Throughout the whole summer we built relationships with Thai students in hope to share the love of Christ with them. This retreat served as a catalyst for us to bring our new Thai friends to hear the message of salvation in and through Christ alone.
During this weekend retreat we played alot of fun games with the Thai students. Games like "sock war," which is dodgeball with flour-filled socks, and capture the flag combined. Everyone had a blast as this was only one of the fun games / activities we participated in. (note Courtney getting "socked" during the game :) However, after the games were over we got to main purpose behind this retreat. The first night of the retreat we watched "The Chronicles of Narnia III" (in Thai) to expose the NEU students to the gospel of Christ. This movie is very popular in Thailand even though they have no idea of the Biblical imagery behind it. After the movie concluded Guy (The Director of Campus Outreach Thailand) explained the gospel message of the Jesus Christ through the imagery / characters of the movie.
In addition to the gospel being seen and explained through the Chronicles of Narnia movie, Daly (to the left) a Senior from Georgetown College had the opportunity to share her testimony at this retreat of how she came to know Jesus as her Lord and Savior.
The below two pictures are of our CCP team with two Thai students, Tua (bottom left) & Jah Eh (bottom right). These were only two of the hundreds of students we met and loved on over the coarse of the summer. Tua and Jah Eh attended the FF Retreat and we're excited to share that Jah Eh repented of her sin and placed her faith in Christ while we were in transit at the Singapore Airport heading back home to the States. Praise God! Knowing and rejoicing at Jah Eh's becoming a Christian made the long flight much more enjoyable. :) Please continue to pray for Tua + the other 70 Thai students who attended this retreat as the Campus Outreach Thailand staff continue to follow up these students with the good news of Christ in hope that they will repent of their sin and place their faith in Christ alone.

After arriving back in the States we made a quick pit stop at our Summer Project in Sandusky, OH where we visited with the 110 students growing in their faith through our ministry. During our visit we shared with them our experiences in Thailand as each of these students below were praying for us while we were in Thailand. This was an exciting time as we saw first hand these 100 + students desire to grow deeper in their faith in order to reach out to others who don't know & trust in Christ as their Lord and Savior. Please pray for Thailand and our 4 campuses (UK, EKU, Georgetown College, Centre College) as we desire to grow deeper in and share the love of Christ with all people.
