WHERE JACKIE GOES, DANCE GROWS

CHAMRIENG BUILT THE STUDIO FOR JACKIE

PART OF JACKIE’S MINISTRY WAS TRAINING OTHERS TO DO WHAT SHE DID. THIS IS JESSICA WHO STAYED WITH US FOR A FEW MONTHS & HELPED WITH JACKIE’S WORK.

“Dow” & “Amp” were bob’s students but wanted some on-the-job training so jackie took them to work with her for a short time.

jackie loved her kids...

MAE FAH LUANG UNIV.teaching english opens many doors overseas and this is the one that opened for bob...

more of the campus

teaching english was an excuse to do two things: improve the lives of the students and to open doors to share christ.

working in the lab was always fun.

mae, hugging me, was the leader of the christian club on campus. the girl to my right came to christ and married my intern and is strongly encouraging jackie and i to come back and start a school with them.

christian club craziness of some sort

sharing jesus with drama presentation...

traditional thai dance by mfl students

Chuck, local pastor in st. auggie, joined us on this adventure and we’d have parties for the students. Each time we’d have someone share the gospel, usually a Thai peer from Christian club did the sharing.

Thais love ice cream and uno

thai scenery and fun stuff

thailand is about 97% buddhist. the one above us is about as big as st. justins church

our thai church--jackie danced and i sometimes preached.

INDIA: Village to village sharing Christ

100S OF KIDS AT SCHOOLS HEARD ABOUT JESUS

THE PHILIPPINES: Smokey Mountain garbage dump--it never stopped burning and villages were built on top of the garbage so people scrounged for anything of value to sell.

Philippine poverty

no matter how poor, kids smile and old women ask for help

open sewers spilled over onto the dance “stage.” Even the kids go on outreach--Jordie from Canada seated, Jackie, Marcia & Alaina reaching out.

HONG KONG

our house in hong kong: 3/2, 700 sq ft. our kids are in the windows upstairs with jackie and rosie (the dog) below.

A little aside: This was in Taiwan at a church we stayed at on an outreach. I could do anything in those days. 3rd floor, no net. jackie in brazil doing drama on the streets with our team.

back to hong kong: The craziest staff i’ve ever had. they went to the airport dressed like this to pick up a student.

Hong Kong Discipleship Training School: each school we ran (13 in all) had students from all around the world.

how do you end this? the banner behind jackie ends it nicely...
