The team from Logan Lake Church On The Hill worked tirelessly on an addition consisting of a washroom, change room and bedroom. During the construction they completed a roof over the pad that we poured for the boy’s bathroom in August on my last trip. After that they proceeded to build the walls for the washroom, showers and toilets. Tim and Harry worked tirelessly day after day to complete far more than anyone expected in the 20 days that they were in Thailand. Cathy and Diane kept busy helping Terry with the day to day work in the home and teaching English, Music and generally having fun with them. It was a hot humid time for them as the rainy season was hanging on longer than normal and causing flooding all over Thailand, SriRacha was one of the few areas uneffected by the flood waters. But it was effectted by a large number of people displaced from Bangkok and surrounding areas during their stay causing major traffic issues and a lack of basic food supplies in the stores.

Right now there is a team from Logan Lake CHURCH ON THE HILL (combination Baptist and Pentecostal Church) Which consists of the Pastor Harry, his wife Diane, Kathy and Tim. Check out their Church website at www.coth.ca
They are spending 20 days in Thailand helping Terry with the children, teaching music, english and working on numerous projects.
The Children are out of school for the month of October so it’s a welcome relief to have help at this time. The guys are and have been busy building a roof over the boys bathroom (under construction) building walls for the bathroom and generally fixing anything that needed fixing. Like wiring that decided to shock them numerous times with 220 volts while they worked with electric tools, or a melt down of the undersized /overloaded wiring in the kitchen wall. Things like this happen when I’m not over there and we were lucky to have two very handy guys there to fix things up for Ter and the kids.
The guys have also taken the boys fishing in the local water reservoir, after taking a bit of a detour (maybe getting lost? in the local roads) to get there. Luckily they haven’t been affected much by the flooding that seems to be everywhere else in Thailand. Except for the fact that food shelves are starting to get emptied almost as fast as the new stock arrives (if it arrives). The ladies have done some fun stuff with the girls and Terry and everyone seems to be in good but hot and tired spirits. Seems it has been raining everyday and has been hot and humid.
Right now the flood waters are starting to hit Bangkok and we hope that the airport remains high and dry so the team can leave. Or do we want them to????? Maybe they wouldn’t mind more time in the warmt of Thailand before they return to Logan Lake weather in Canada. But I’m sure their families would love to see them.
Either way they will come back changed by their time on the Mission field.
We pray for a safe trip home when they leave on saturday.
And the EL Shaddai Home thanks them very much for all their time with us.
Blessings Ter and Dave

New EL Shaddai 2 House
Just returned from a 6 week trip to see the family in Thailand. They have been struggling with the lack of a yard for the kids to play in. The Lighthouse building is just about totally rented out, which means no room in the parking lot for cars never mind kids to play. Many mornings Ter and the kids had to push vehicles around in order to leave the parking lot. Many times when we came home someone would be parked in our reserved spot, so we’d have to track them down and make sure they knew it was reserved for the Children’s home.
Anyways Ter saw a house on one of her many trips home from school and told Mark that that was our house. Mark said “it’s not our’s there isn’t even a sign for sale or rent”
To make a long story short in a few days a sign for rent appeared and Terry called to see if we could rent it. The owners said whoever brings a damage deposit first can rent it. But they wouldn’t let Ter drop off a deposit, instead they had two other people interested in renting. The first one wanted to park heavy equipment in the yard so they turned them down. The next couple they didn’t like for some reason so they didn’t rent to them either. They weren’t really excited about our children moving in but after talking to our Ministry staff who told them “this mom won’t let these kids wreck the house” So they rented it to us. The house hadn’t been actually lived in for many years so now we had lots of cleaning and paintint to do. The owners thought the paint was beautiful, but to us it looked dirty and old.
