The leaders of ACTS churches in Southern Thailand got together for a retreat and catch up over the weekend. Daniel and I were able to tag along with Jeff before we continued on for our final visa run. Although it was a quick catch up for them it was also a great one as they met together to pray and encourage one another in the efforts of expanding the kingdom of Christ in Southern Thailand. We left early on Friday morning to be in Yala around 9am to meet other church leaders before continuing south to Betong. Upon arrival we ate lunch together at Betong Christian Church. The afternoon's activities saw everyone go to see the Winter Flower Garden, Piyamit Tunnel and the Hot Springs for some fellowship, fun and to snap "a few" photos.

After returning from visiting these places we ate dinner together once again and that evening there was a time of encouragement, singing, sharing and prayer. Everyone arose early the next morning to see the sun rise from the top of a mountain near Betong. With it brought an amazing view of a foggy beautiful countryside. Unlike Nakhon the weather was quite cool  which at times was even a little to cold, especially when you are in the back of the pick-up and and the wind is racing by.
