Clinic At Wan Hein &
Christmas Outreach At Lak Taeng Primary School
Wan Hein was another village about one-hour-drive from Lak Taeng. This village was very
unfriendly to missionary and Christians. Some villagers burned down a small church in the
village a year ago. The missionary and the believers had to move out to Muong Khue.
We were given opportunity by our colleague missionary to open a medical clinic at this
village for half-day session.
Before we did clinical services to the villagers we first went to meet the chief of the village
and paid a courtesy visit and discussed about the opening half-day clinic in the village for the
villagers. The chief willingly agreed to allow us to have our clinic at Buddhist monastery.
We did not only offer clinical services, we also organized the ladies to do handicraft on
making necklace for themselves as souvenirs. We also took photograph of old people and
children and printed out on paper for them to keep at home because some of them have never
had a chance of seeing their own picture on paper.
There was a primary school run by NGO in Lak Taeng with more than one hundred students.
We met the principle of the school who was son of a very well known the late Shan leader. We
had an opportunity of organizing Christmas outreach program at the school in the evening.
School hall was overflowed with children, young adults and elderly villagers.
Ladies from our team were in full dress of Shan tradition and welcoming the guests at the door
“Mai Soong Kha”.
We were also joined by a team from Singapore, Nong Oak, Na Wai and Muong Khue.
There were varieties of programs such as singing, dancing, giving gifts, drama and gospel message.
Our “Prodigal Son” drama was so touching that made the audience clapped their hands even before
the end of the drama.
The outreach program concluded with prayer.
