This is Victor preaching in a Karen village church about 2 hours from Chiang Mai. (That's on a motorcycle on bad, mountain roads.)
As one of his responsibilities at our church he goes once a month to visit the villages in this area. He preaches, encourages, takes medicines (it's a long walk to the nearest doctor so villagers tend to go without basic medication), cuts children's hair, prays, and generally helps out however he can.
I'm not sure why these photos ended up in one like this but I thought it looked great so I'm sharing it with you.

The repeated pics have a kind of Medieval look - stained glass windows. What great work, Victor.
yes, God bless you and your work there

Thank you all. It's so great to come here and read your comments and feel CONNECTED! I'm very proud of Victor too. He really does amazing work.
I'm pretty amazed with my Thai writing too (and it's such fun! i must get another picture to show you an update.) but my work is generally much more domestic than Victor's. I like to think I support him well.
Thank you each for your support of us.
love Rachel
