Today I will talk to a larger Christian group of Thai people at a cell group gathering. It is the first time I speak in front of a bigger group in Thai without a translator. Strange, because I used to lead worship in Thai for two years at a Thai church. Most of my sharing is with smaller groups or one on one. So I am a bit nervous. Especially with talking about what God has done in my life and how it came that I would go to Thailand. It is a long story and it seems such a long time ago. Every time I think of God’s gentleness in the way He led me and gave me directions touches me and gives me a sense of security.
My Thai has improved a lot since i went back to Thai studies and I am still motivated to go on. My goal is to be able to preach in Thai and to translate simultaneously. This was my goal back when I was 20 years old and went to learn English. After being here for 9 years I know that even when I go back to Switzerland part of me will be with the Thai people and South-East Asia.
