Yes, that is one of the most asked questions ..! So how is it ..! Well to put it simply it's foreign but in a wonderful way.
The people and ministry:
ooh well the people are lovely, kind and helpful. They are willing to listen to our message and readily accept the literature and actually do read it...so preaching is wonderful everyday and each time.
The housing:
We live very simply but a little better then in the U.S. because the cost of living. Here you can live as nice as you want for very little money in comparsion. There are a lot of new construction so you can live in a very clean and comfortable place.
The Food:
The restaurant is very different and not even to be compared to Thai food in the U.S. The U.S. is the wealthy country and people have access to a lot of things that are just not here. For example, butter is not as easy to find..well real butter not mixed with other stuff when you do find it it cost quite a bit more than I want to pay. You can buy from a store everything here that you like to eat but you would need to travel to a store that caters to Americans. The food will cost what it does in the U.S. pretty much but not Thai prices so it depends on what you are willing to spend on food.
Life:
Life is unhurried and restful. There are many friends close by. You will experience the same issue you have anywhere in the congregation so you get the chance to put into practice patience, love and especially long suffering. But, if you focus on the good and the blessing then you will have joy everyday. If you keep your life simple and are willing to do humble work then you can support yourself in your minstry so many ways.
How you help?:
well..for us we do various things to earn a living. Just by watching my video channel on 'Youtube' I earn an income ..and if you subscribe 'which is free' would be even better. I try to make simple videos that help in various ways maybe you know someone else that could benefit from the information.
