Wayne McKenzie (Senior Consultant, Auckland) and his wife, Pam, are in Thailand for 3 weeks doing volunteer work at an OMF mission retreat centre. (OMF International) They have joined a team from New Zealand at 'The Pines' in Prachuap, south of Bangkok, to do repairs and refurbishment at the centre, which is provided for mission workers in Asia. The centre is an important asset for workers and families, providing a relaxing place for rest and recreation, enabling them to sustain long term ministry away from their home country. Major renovations are the responsibility of contractors on site, and the volunteer team is responsible for two smaller projects: repairing and re-roofing a boat shed, and replacing about 60 windows. The work is not unduly difficult, but with daytime temperatures in the high 30s and high humidity, with much of the work outside in the sun, it takes its toll on some of the team who are not young anymore. There are plenty of benefits though, with beautiful Thai food, and a pool to relax in after work is finished each day, plus the reward of seeing the centre brought back to a pristine condition for families to enjoy.
