Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
The Thai-Ni-Mite Team of 2013 has finally joined forces to serve God in Thailand, Bangkok, Chonburi, and Chiang Rai. The Thai-No-Mite team consists of 9 members: Jeremiah Park, Joseph Han, Caleb Choi,Kuk Philicia Tucker, Kandace Glenn, Euna Kang, Jihye Yoon, and Rosa Yoon. We are super excited to share our stories with the world, and also to see what God has planned out for us.
It all started at Jeremiah's house. We as a team united to make a team shirt, crafty stuff, and pack like no other. Sadly, the sparkly spray paint (vampire spray pain) went through technical difficulties; therefore the team shirts were a goner. The guys got lucky. Packing was a hard job, slowly but surely, we were able to pack all the candies, craft materials, gifts,and personal belongings as a team (special thanks to Jeremiah's mother for helping us pack). Although we were just packing and making crafts, the team was filled with unity and love.
God has truly blessed this team with love and compassion towards each other only because we all love one thing, Him.

This was it. Thailand was at the tip of our fingers. The team was greeted by loving friends and families at the airport. God is so amazing. He provided us with so much support and love from others, which helped us with reassurance. Although some members were struggling financially, but seeing how they didn't let money get in the way of serving God was a wonderful sight. How great is our team? This team is special and God saw that in all of us.
The team bonded through the long plane rides to Dubai and Thailand. We ate together, watched movies together, fell asleep beside each other, and lastly, loved God together. This is what a true team of God feels like. The team was only filled with laughter, and hopefully only that.
God,thank you for loving us unconditionally, and thank you for not giving up on us. We may not be perfect, but we can promise you that we will try our best to love you and love each other. We need faith, hope and love, but the greatest of these is love (1 Corinthians 13:13). With you Father, we are nothing. In order to keep you in our hearts and this world, we as a team will spread your love to the people in Thailand. We will not show any discrimination or dislike to your creation, but only Your love and compassion. In Your Son's name, AMEN ...
Thank you all for making this missions trip happen. Without you and the work of God, we would be lost. We are incredibly happy to be here, and we will try out best to make everybody proud.
THANK YOU!!
- Thai-No-Mite Team
