Update: Teaching ESL

Our first two weeks in Thailand will be spent in Chaing Rai working with a human trafficking rehabilitation center. While there we will lead devotionals and teach English. My team and I will be working with a non-profit called "Abba House" ("Father House"). I'm so excited to plan lessons again and put together three separate English as a Second Language classes. Because of my previous experience teaching in South Africa I'm able to teach my team how to teach English effectively. I learned so much during my time in the Kalahari and I'm excited to see how this experience will be different. We will have three English level groups including small children to young adults. This is not only a great ministry opportunity but also a skill many need/want to continue their education. We are still working out the plan for the rest of our time there and where we will be staying but the doors are opening. (Praise the Lord)

Evangelism and spiritual discipline

This week we had author Danny Lehman talk to us about evangleism in different cultures and spiritual disciplines. It was amazing to hear his stories and learn how we can be better disciples.

Team Thailand/Cambodia! 

SEND ME TO THAI-BODIA

This month we are reminded to give thanks for all that we have. I am so thankful to be here in Kona; learning about God and training for my trip to Thailand/Cambodia. I am also thankful for all that I have learned and the wonderful people I have met. Next Thursday the remaining outreach fees for my mission trip are due. I still need to raise $1,500 to help fight human trafficking and other injustices in these nations. 

I have already seen God provide in amazing ways and I know that the money will come in. I would really appreciate your help in anyway; weather that is through prayer, words of encouragement or financial support. Not everyone can go out to the nations to be a missionary but anyone can help support missions. 

Thanks in advance and God Bless

Thailand and Cambodia Outreach

Here are some more details about my mission trip to Thailand and Cambodia! 

I will leave Kona on the 18th of December and arrive in Bangkok, THAILAND the next day. Most of our work is centered on Chaing Rai, which is in the North; once there we will connect with the local nonprofits. My team and I will spend a month in Chaing Rai working with AIDS Orphans (Through "Home of the Open Heart) and untouched people groups (The Shan Project). Afterwards we will travel to Phnom Penh, Cambodia where we will spend two months working with at risk women and children of Sex Trafficking. 

I have a team of 13 amazing photographers, videographers, journalists and artists. I’m so excited to travel, minister, create and have adventures with these people and see what God will do in these beautiful nations. 

I have been able to raise about half of the funds needed for my mission trip but I still need the other half. E-mail me for any details about how you can donate moribakker@gmail.com. Donate through The University of the Nations Kona, write a check to UofN or press the PayPal button! Thank-you so much for your support, letters, prayer and love :)
