Schools across Thailand are closed for summer break during
March and April, and this is the time when Pastor Banya and TMM missionaries do
triage. There are always many more
children who need help than what we have resources for, so we must determine which
children are at the greatest risk, so that we can give them the limited spots
on the Blessing Home roster. At Blessing
Home Ground Zero, Pastor Banya does this through interviews, and everyday there
are people who bring children seeking to get them enrolled in at Blessing
Home. Carol and Vicki at Blessing Home Isan
do home visits and interviews to find the children who have the greatest need. We do triage so that we can make the very
best use of the funds that you generously donate to save and protect
children. We want to make the most
impact with the gifts God has given to this ministry.
Because of your generosity, we now are giving full college
scholarships through Blessing Home to deserving young adults who would never be
able to go to college without major assistance.
You have already met Bo and Sopita, who have completed their freshman
year at university. They have done well
and will receive scholarships for study again this year.

| Kao Poad is receiving a full scholarship from the Thailand Methodist Mission through Blessing Home Isan |
Today we would like to introduce you to one of our new
college scholarship recipients who is very special to us. Her name nickname is Kao Poad which means “Corn”
and she leads the Praise Team at her church in Nonsomboon. Kao Poad’s parents, Maeng and Saow, are
devoted Christians who are tenant farmers who work hard but only can barely
sustain their family. Kao Poad and her
niece Namtaan live in the same household and both are students at Blessing Home
Isan.

| Maeng and Saow say thank you for helping their family. Their granddaughter Namtaan (on the far left) is a student at Blessing Home Isan and their daughter Kao Poad (on the far right) is receiving a full college scholarship. |
Kao Poad began her studies as an English major at St. Theresa
International College this week and we are proud of her because she overcame
many obstacles in life to be able to qualify to be a student at this
college. Kao Poad is the first person in
her family to attend graduate from high school and go on to college. Please keep her in your prayers. Kao Poad is attending a competitive
university and she must “run with the horses” to make good grades at St.
Theresa.
We have had several people email us asking for information
on how to donate, so we thought it would be good to include that with this
prayer blog. Your donations make the mission possible.
You can give via internet or snail mail.
If you are sending a check, make it out for TMM and send to
our treasurer at:
