Here we are

Thailand. A country of beauty. A place of delicious food. A people who are friendly and always smiling. Phuket, Thailand. An island with gorgeous beaches. An abundance of exotic fruits. People from all over the world vacationing. Patong, Phuket, Thailand. A city of opportunity. A town full of malls and markets. A destination for tourists from all over. Bangla Road, Patong, Phuket, Thailand. A single street. A countless number of bars. So many people who are lost, broken, and searching. They are looking for something but they...

Thailand is for lovers…of Jesus.

On my flight down to Atlanta, Georgia from Flint for training camp before leaving for Thailand I met a man. My seat was in between two brothers flying to LA for their aunt’s funeral. Their original flight was cancelled due to a plane malfunction so they were rerouted on my flight to Atlanta. We began talking and I shared with him that I would be heading to Thailand on a mission trip in a few days. His response was, “For GOD?!?” To which I replied with a firm yes.

Life on the Field

Sometimes we think the only world that matters is the one we have always known. Maybe there is more to life than just what is comfortable. I am going to challenge myself to push my comfort zone and see the world through the eyes of its creator. First and foremost we have arrived in Thailand safe and sound. The crew (my amazing team of girls) is doing fantastic and we are coming together as a family. Plus Thailand is absolutely gorgeous! Ministry starts next week and I cannot wait to pour into the people here in Thailand. The craziest part is knowing that God wants to love on the...
