April Break Trip part 2
We drove 8 hours more, sweeping east of Bangkok and down the coast past Pattaya and beyond, onto a short ferry across to the Island, and then 20 mins drive that the other end. The resort was simple, clean, typically Thai, and on the beach..hooray!

We had arranged to spend our time there with our friends Jeff and Brigitte and their son Josh. We also had the pleasure of getting to know their Swiss-German friends Jürg and Anita and their two children. They have been in India for the last 13 years and are now also working with the Shan tribal group here in Thailand.
We left the resort on Easter Saturday heading for Bangkok as we wanted to attend the Easter morning service at ECB church (where the Wongs went). We were checked into a Youth Hostel (still young at heart…) in Sukhumvit Soi38 and bought some food from the stalls just down the street, before an early night. We all shared one room with bunk beds and it was snug and comfortable. We arrived at ECB at 8.30 and had a lovely complimentary breakfast with Samosas, fresh coffee, cinnamon rolls, pork satay and fruit. Knowing where to scrounge free food is so important. The meeting was great as always, and it was a pleasure to catch up with some folks we had not seen for some time, including WECs very own Georgina from FEBC, the Christian radio broadcast into Thailand and surrounding countries..an inspiring and fruitful ministry that reaches millions who cannot be contacted any other way.
