Life on the Field

We're working on settling in and getting acclimated. Im not finding it as diffulcult as I had expected. As part of our training we were sent out on a scavenger hunt to take pictures and do certain things around Phuket, if we had any questions we could only ask Thai people only! Sounds fun right?? I was thoroughly excited. We split in teams of three and set out on our adventures. My team didn't accomplish everything on the list that we had to do but we did get a lot of the optional extra things done 🙂 lol and we had great fun. Not going to lie the first few times...

Life on the Field

Last night as we were worshipping, we sang the song "Break Every Chain" The lyrics are this: There's power in the name of Jesus, There's power in the name of Jesus, There's power in th name of Jesus, To break every chain break every chain break every chain. When we got here Sunday night, I'll admit I was feeling very apprehensive about going to Bangla road to do our bar ministry. I kept thinking, "how on earth can I see human beings being bought & sold & it not absolutely rip me apart?" But through much prayer and words of...

Reflections

It’s 8 a.m. which means I’ve been up for almost 5 hours. Though I have not missed jet lag, I didn’t mind being awake so early. It gave me a lot of time to think, to pray, time to reflect – in silence. Silence doesn’t come so often in community, so I embraced the early morning. By 5:40, the sun was coming up. I grabbed my journal, bible and iPod to head downstairs. I walked up to the window and opened it to breath in the fresh air, one word came to my mind. Freedom. I had this overwhelming sense of freedom and with that began praising the Lord...

We just spoke with the team leader and they've all arrived safely in Thailand. They are in route to their ministry site via some very long bus rides and will be settling in these next few days and getting some orientation from their host. Expect to see some blogs rolling out in the next few days as they find internet. Thanks for all the prayers for this team! The Passport field support team

Training Camp

Because this is my second training camp as a Passport participant my prayer throughout this week has been “God, please block my memory from last time.” God has been so faithful and though I have still remembered things from last year I couldn’t necessarily predict what was next. Though I counted down the days, I wasn’t excited about this season of my life in Thailand and didn’t feel very passionate for the trip. Or at least that’s what I thought. Tuesday night worship was rough for me. As we sang, I thought, “How can I worship, and say ‘[God]...
