Interactive Oblongs!!
Good news here in Nakhon Sawan Nam and An’s plan to have a society within the university has been a success. The society will be called ‘interactive’. This Wednesday all the ‘freshy’ students (this name is used in Thailand also which makes me laugh) have to sign up for a society. There are only about 8-10 societies. So hopefully lots will join ‘interactive’ there will be different activities each week, sport, craft, cooking, learning about other cultures, and faiths. Some of these will have some evangelistic input some won’t but it does mean that we can be open about who we are that there is a Christian presence on campus, and that we can give out literature to invite people to come to various events at the youth house if people want to find out more. As I prepare to leave I’ve had some encouraging comments about my language progress recently. However An was a little bit confused when I told him that I was glad that there ‘oblong’ had been accepted what I meant to say was ‘chumlong’ which means society!!! So do pray for the 'interactive oblong' as the Thai guys go on campus this week.
