EDITOR'S NOTE: A mission team from First Presbyterian Church of Midland, Texas, has recently returned to the United States from a triip to Thailand. I will be sharing some daily notes from their trip.
It has been a busy but very productive trip thus far. We have had the opportunity to visit with many of our Thailand ministry partners over the last week and we feel that it has been beneficial for all involved. Below is a summary of where we have been and what we have done . . ..

We met a friend of Walter’s this morning. Austin House is a young American pastor who is currently teaching at the Seminary associated with Payup University. He toured us through the seminary and talked with us a little about Buddhism and the culture of Thailand. He is married to a Chin woman and has two small children. They are friends with the Eubanks and knows many of the people we know. We were treated to a traditional Burmese / Chin lunch at his home. He works with children’s homes along the border in remote areas and supports new church plants inside Burma. He will be going in to Burma on a mission in March.
Austin drove us to the Free Burma Rangers office for our meeting with Caryl and the staff. Many of the people we know at FBR are on a mission in Kachin State. We are briefed on the history of the Burma conflict and given an update of the current situations. We were able to have dinner with Caryl and Mitch and catch up on the details of the Jungle School of Medicine. Our church is helping with the cost of installing a new hydroelectric project at the school. It was good to catch up with them.
