Evacuating to Pattaya . . .

With news that the flood would likely hit over the next few days, the company gave permission for those living in potential flood zones to evacuate to the Baptist camp at Pattaya.

Long story short . . . we waited for six long days in Pattaya. We read internet reports daily that said flood waters could arrive in our district at any point. Finally, on Tuesday, the media seemed to be in consensus that our district would be spared. So, we packed up and came back home.

However, by 2pm the day we arrived at home, we were greeted by new flood warnings for our district. At this point in time, we are staying put until the flooding is pushing at our door. All of our belongings are still packed away in an upstairs bedroom. The media continues to present mixed messages on the flood. We are simply waiting to see if, when, and to what extent we will be affected.

While we have not been affected yet, hundreds of thousands in Bangkok and surrounding areas face a very serious disaster. Please pray for them. Pray that God would use this event to draw many to himself. Pray that God would show Thai Christians how to minister to the lost in light of this disaster.
