YWAM Ratchaburi office building

YWAM Ratchaburi's office is slowly getting furnished bit by bit and is preparing to start receiving volunteers to serve alongside us in Ratchaburi. In the last few weeks we have been trying to get the building ready and have been spending the majority of our time on that. We have also continued with some of the English classes that we were previously running and will be re-starting our schools ministry from next week as some of the schools will be opening for summer school.

We have posted some pictures of the inside of our building in the following posts.

Our building has three bathrooms, all with toilets and showers.

Although currently a bit sparse regarding furniture, this is a room that we have designated both for meetings and for relaxing. We have some sofas that have been donated and will be moving them into the building soon so that there is more space to sit and relax.

Bedrooms

We have two bedrooms in our office building. One able to accomodate 6 people and the other able to accomodate up to 10 people. We are slowly getting the bedrooms furnished, but at the moment are able to host up to 10 people at a time.

Office building

YWAM Ratchaburi finally has an office building! We signed the lease last week and will be officially moving in on the 9th of March. We have a group of friends from YWAM Thailand coming to help us move and celebrate with us as we dedicate this building to the Lord. We are thrilled that the building is almost new and doesn't need any painting or fixing up- and it is in a safe area.

The building is 4 storeys high- we will be using the first storey as our office and the rest of the building as a place where we can host short term teams and volunteers. Our building is the one in the middle in the picture.

It's been a slow start to the year as Noiy and Bronwyn have been in Bangkok for most of the time since they arrived back from South Africa. They are now back in Ratchaburi though and are starting to teach in two of the schools here again in March. YWAM Ratchaburi is expecting their first team during May and hopefully will have a number of teams serving with them during the year.

YWAM Ratchaburi

YWAM Ratchaburi is currently just a vision that God has placed in two people's hearts. A vision to see the people of the province of Ratchaburi touched by the love of Jesus. These two people have been living in Ratchaburi since September 2005, and the vision that they have been praying about is about to become something that they can see.

We will be renting a building just outside of Ratchaburi town as our office and also a place where we can recieve short term mission teams and volunteers to serve the community. We have a meeting with a school this week and will hopefully be signing the lease on the building soon. We have two staff coming to join us from New Zealand in April and are currently in the process of forming a support team in Bangkok who will be able to help and advise us as we start this new venture. We are looking for a piece of land that we can purchase to expand the ministry as God leads us.

All glory to God- for it is Him that places His dreams in our hearts and it is Him that brings them to pass through us. For we are only His vessels.
