Teaching on worship

Mae_sotI just came back last night from a village 20 km. north of Mae Sot. I left last Sunday from Chiang Mai to teach in a discipleship school for Karen people. It is has been a while since I taught for a whole week. I think it went quite well and hope to get more opportunities in the future.
I want to work on teaching material on several subjects.So next time I have more of a selection to teach from. Specially when I teach for so many hours.
I haven’t been in the Mae Sot area since I went to the Karen villages and refugee camps about four years ago. This seems such a long time ago. Two Karen guys still remembered me from  when I taught at their high school and my Backpacker guitar I used for leading worship. (thank you Linda and Randy for this great gift).
I am back now and today I spent time with my family and just relaxing. I am quite tired and a busy week is ahead of me. But I feel very happy and am spiritually revived spending a lot of time God in between the teachings. Being with the Karen helped me also to see the work with the Lahu from another perspective. I also realized again how hard it is to work in a cross-cultural setting and that I’m not the only one who sometimes struggles making it work.
