Adventures - Going to Thailand

Hi all - not sure who is following or reading this at the moment but thought i would write some things - why not right lol!!!! So I was recently accepted to go and staff the PCYM (principles of child and youth ministries school) in Bangkok Thailand. The school starts there in Thailand on the 8th of November - but since i am going to be staff i need to be there 2 weeks before that. So the end of October!!!! Right now i am working on my support raising. I am almost able to buy my ticket to go ........ but still need more for living expenses - staff fees - and insurance for while i am there. i will initially be there for 6 months - they first want me to come and staff this school to see how i do in adjusting to culture ministry language ECT. then to see about a long term commitment of two years. this is a huge answer to prayer as i have been wanting to go and be somewhere for long term!!!! So here is a copy of my support letter - please consider helping in that is the only way i am able to do this in that no one with YWAM gets paid.
Dear Friends and Family,
I have recently been accepted to staff the PCYM (Principles In Child And YouthMinistries) school in Bangkok, Thailand with Youth With A Mission (YWAM)! This is a great answer to prayer, in that I have wanted to serve God in a place long-term.The staff in Thailand first want me to come and staff the PCYM to see howI adjust to the ministry and Thai culture; then we will decide about my doing along term commitment there. The PCYM in Thailand starts on the 8th of November, however I need to arrive two weeks before the school starts so I willbe leaving at the end of October.

The PCYM's and King's Kids mission statement is "To lead children, youth andfamilies worldwide into a proven knowledge of God, bring Him joy and togethermake Him known to all peoples." As staff I will be helping in leading the school andalso in discipleship of the students. The PCYM is six months - three monthslecture phase in which there will be teachings each week partnered with ministry;then the next two months will be outreach during which we put into practicethings learned during the lecture phase. Outreach will take place around andoutside Bangkok and Thailand.

I am very excited that God has given me this opportunity to serve Him inThailand, possibly even long term. I am going to need your help in prayer andfinancial support. I would appreciate your prayers for transition, support raising,adjustment to new culture, and to ministry responsibilities, and wisdom in buying anew computer. As a staff member with YWAM I need to raise all my own financialsupport. So far estimated expenses will be
• $800.00 for PCYM fees - which also includes all expenses for the outreach
• $1000.00 for staff fees - which includes living expenses
• International insurance - around $900.00
• Flight and Visa expenses - $2000.00
