Inheritance- Ywam conference

Ywam Thailand is increasing by 40% every 2 years. To deal with these Phil Porter has proposed 4 directions based on the style the Israelites took the promised land.
1. Develop many leaders, especially Thai leaders.
2. Release the new generation
3. Increase the sense of family
4. Remain connected and fight for each other.






I'm proud that Ywam Thailand staff is at least 50% Indigenous staff.

Anti-trafficking Concert

A while ago I went to my first Thai concert in the 700 stadium in Chiangmai. It was a last minute free ticket, thanks to my house-mate Heather, in return for driving her and the kids from her ministry, Taw Saeng, to the concert. The concert was co-sponsored by the Australian Government to increase aware of human trafficking and there were some pretty disconcerting videos interspersed throughout.

The line up included pretty big names from Thailand and Korea, and was very random in musical genre. They had even imported Katie Miller-Heide and we rocked out to her singing John Farnham's song 'You're the voice.' Here's some samples of the other bands.

Lounge/Jazzy ETC

Hip Hop band Thaitanium, which I've decided I like.

And of course, Superstar Korean band 'SuperJunior'

It was quite surreal to be at an anti-trafficking concert with kids who were at high risk of being traffiked. The concert was similar to any that I may have gone to in Australia to raise awareness about this issue, but as we stood there in the rain together, I realised that it was now so much more than just an abstract cause.
