stickers.

All the 7/11s in Bangkok currently have a promotional sticker program. For every 50 baht you spend (about $1.70) you receive one sticker. There are also different "bonus items" every week which, if purchased, resulted in bonus stickers. These stickers can be collected and redeemed for prizes, or can be used to make purchases at the 7/11. Each sticker's value is 1 baht (approx. 3 cents). Before the Spotswood short-term team came, I began collecting stickers... but at 1 sticker/50 baht, I didn't have very many. The team graciously donated all their stickers to my "cause" while they were here, and others who heard of my collection-project also chipped in their spare stickers.

So, why am I telling you this? Because from this little collection campaign, there sprung a God-idea... What if we (Laura, Claire and I) used the stickers that had been collected to make a little food-pantry for the homeless? We could use the stickers to purchase non-perishable items that we could keep handy in our bags for when we see people begging on the streets.

So, what has become of all these 330 stickers that were collected? To everyone who donated stickers, here is what you were a part of:

And while we can't say much in Thai, please pray that the people we meet will be touched by Christ through this small gesture. Thank you for being a part of this!
