Jean and Bob Kiker asked our team, since most of the Thai religious belief is Buddhist, has our team of missionaries encountered resistance or persecution in any way? Is the food just wonderful? Are our team members staying healthy? And, how are you feeling blessed by this experience?
"We have encountered absolutely no persecution or resistance from Thailand's Buddhists ..... just the opposite, actually. We have found them to be gracious and accommodating, and also very patient in helping us familiarize ourselves better with this land and its culture."
"For most of us, the food has been absolutely wonderful. A few have expressed some reservation over a particular ingredient or spice used in some dishes. By the way, most establishments - even in the smaller towns - we have visited offer an international menu ..... we can enjoy Thai and Burmese dishes, or Italian pizza and pasta, or American hamburgers."
"All of our team feels blessed by this experience ..... and humbled, very much so. And we are excited about the chance of bringing home what we have learned and experienced, and sharing it with others."
