(A little glimpse into what it is like for us learning Thai.) http://t.co/yJR7Keiblg If I didn’t keep up with news about the weekly riots just down the road from our […]

What makes Thai hard to learn?

Noticing Animism in Thailand (Part 2, Clarifying the Gospel)

June 6, 2013

Grace Trumps Karma

(Continued from Part 1) Clarifying the Gospel How is Christianity different? When I began to think of how to communicate the Gospel clearly in this context, it was more of a challenge than I thought it was going to be. I started to notice similar elements to spiritism in my own thoughts. It is easy […]

Thai Demons

The other night watching Bangkok TV in Thai (it is good practice for learning Thai, believe it or not) we came across a show that was supposed to be scary, and it made me curious to see what a scary movie would be like here. It was pretty corny, but that is actually pretty good […]
