From our Missionaries, Luke and Alyssa Miller serving in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
Hey Summit! I wanted to update you on the food giveaway we held recently! It was seriously amazing!
We held the event in a village outside of Chiang Mai. Before the event, we met with the village chief and received permission to share the Gospel and pray for people that wanted it. On the day of the event, we had over 20 volunteers, mostly youth. As people gathered and filled the room, Tan, one of our coworkers shared about Jesus. She asked if anyone knew who Jesus was, and in a room that was crammed full of people only one woman near the front raised her hand. It was a powerful and raw moment to see that only one woman had heard of Jesus.
Tan continued to share about Christ and His love and a few of our youth volunteers also lead worship. Tan then asked if anyone would like prayer, and as people raised their hands the youth volunteers ran towards them and began talking to them and praying for them. It was powerful to see young people have such a desire and passion to reach others. Several people were healed immediately from leg and back pain! It was an incredible opportunity to share the Gospel and most of our team was available to talk with people and answer questions about Jesus.

Since families are pretty large out in the countryside, we decided to make a little over 200 packages that were bigger and cost about $13 each. Most families have several children, so we figured we would be able to feed approximately 400-500 people. After the event, we took a few hours and delivered food to other families in the area that were unable to come because of either disabilities or not having transportation. Some of the places we visited were just shacks in the jungle. One man we visited was living on a lounge chair underneath someone else's house. At each home that we visited, we delivered food and prayed with the families and individuals.
Psalm and Shepherd (our children) were so excited about the event and wanted to help with everything! When we got home, Psalm said that she had the best day ever!
We want to say ‘THANK YOU’ to Summit Church for making this happen! So many lives were impacted because of your giving and we are honored to be a part of what God is doing alongside of you.
