We live about 2 hours from the city of Kanchanaburi, the location of the famous Bridge over the River Kwai. It is a popular tourist site with museums and cemeteries recognizing the importance of the bridge and the men who died in World War II for our freedom. We hope to visit it sometime within the next year but currently, I am working on building a different bridge.
Every Thursday, I travel to Ramkhamhaeng University Campus to work with Thai students. My friend Dennis has helped establish a ministry to students by helping them with English. They have classroom instruction, but not many opportunities to converse with a native English speaker. We talk to the students and help them with pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary, but most of all, we build relationships. After the sessions, we eat dinner at the campus cafeteria and fellowship with the students who choose to join us.
Through this relationship building process, students' hearts have become open to the gospel. No big pressure, no hype, no hurry- just building a bridge to the heart.
