Here is a translation of the invitation letter Ahtapa wrote for the Thai embassy to apply for our visas. It tells a little about the Asian Gospel Outreach and what we will be doing.
To: Chief Officer of Thai Royal Consulate and who it may concern.
I, Jarern Sinlee, the director of Tribal Outreach, would like to ask for your kindness in granting visas to Mr. Brian Menefee and his three children. This man has the ability and a good record in community development and Church works. He is a valuable person to our work here in helping and developing children at our tribal children hostel at Matang district Chriahngmai province. I and the organization here have activities in helping and providing education to poor tribal children who live in far away mountain villages and assist them for better future according to the philosophy of our majestic the king’s sustainable and sufficiency life. We teach kids how to read, write, think and have good ethics and skill and pride in their culture and heritage. As we are aware of the social problem of the tribal people in the north of Thailand and the moving into major cities that create social problems. The children can be helped and we can provide helps to these children and one day the youth will grow up to be the strength of society for development and bring good society, safety, progress, and beautiful environments to the country.
As for now, our organization has been emphasizing life sufficiency and sustainable philosophy. We put high regards of the value of inner peace and happiness. We promote planting everything we eat and eat everything we plant, putting refrigerator in the back yard. That is putting garden and fish and frog ponds in the back yard. Building house with materials available. Making water purifiers and teaching English and other local language along with ethics. Our organization is happy that Mr. Brian is coming to help without expecting any thing in return. And ready to learn the Thai way of life and learning local wisdoms as well.
