Coke Floats and the Black Eyed Peas

                          It's Monday afternoon and we just got back from our first exposure and prayer walk on Bangla Road. Waking up this morning a new wave of the fear that I have been struggling with hit again. We have been somewhat sitting stagnant in this waiting process for the past few days…don’t get me wrong these have been an amazing few days after the dragging chaos of three days of travel but the reality of what we are walking into has been on the distant horizon until today.  ...

God Speaks to Me Through Dinos and Lemons

  Before this trip, I couldn't really tell you that I ever got clear messages from God. Sure, he definitely had a hand in confirming this trip for me but I was still always filled with uncertainty. I went off feelings more than concrete knowledge. One night at training camp they told us we had to do listening prayer. I was like crap, I don't really hear from God. I was filled with doubt and worry. I decided to give it a try anyway and really open up my mind. When I did that night all I saw was this green dinosaur. I told my teammates and we kinda joked about it. I still...

Introduction to Darkness

Leviticus 19:28 {Do not degrade your daughter by making her a prostitute or the land will turn to prostitution and be filled with wickedness.} Thailand is abounding in the wickedness that God is warning people about in the verse above. The enemy has so greatly made himself a foothold and filled this land with a dark spiritual warfare.  After leaving the mall today a couple teammates and I became slightly disorientated in our search for our bus “home.” We asked this one man we saw where we needed to go to be at a spot in which the bus would pass and he pointed us down this...

The Puzzle Piece

What an amazing first week in Phuket. Our team has had extreme highs and ultimate lows, but as always God prevails. After three nights out on Bangla, I'm obviously still just a rookie but a rookie with a stronger passion and a broken heart. Every night that I go out, I constantly ask God to remind me that the men that are out here are just as lost in sin as the women that seduce them.    Sex was made to be something beautiful, a gift from God meant for a husband and his bride. And look what man has turned it into, a money-driven industry meant for instant satisfaction and...

Jesus > Satan’s Attacks

 My first night at the bars was honestly one of the worst nights of my life and also one of the best nights of my life.  I felt so attacked by Satan.  I won’t go into lengthy details, but basically, he took hold of a past I have been healed of and used it against me.  I was so unbelievably angry that he had the nerve to place a trap for me.  Thinking back now, I realize what a coward Satan was.  He attacked me with something I have already learned how to combat.  Is that really the best he could do?  Seriously?  Sure, I stumbled and spent...

How God works through Connect Four

            Sorry about the delay in the blogs, in the business of getting into the routine of life something things are just forgotten and blogging is one of them. My team has gone out twice so far this week and will be going out tonight. Every night there have been battles and victories and we have been able to see how God is working through all of them.               One such victory is a woman named La. We walked into the bar where she works on Monday night and she was...
