I wrote this on the plane, but could not post till now! After 20 hours on a plane where it happened to be light the WHOLE TIME, team Thailand has finally made it safely to Bangkok! …And now it is dark around us, but we have brought the light! Hallelujah! Jesus has been good to us all week! He has united us as a team and given us a safe place to be vulnerable, be safe, and to grow! He has spoken to us clearly as we have actively listened and have been encouraged. And now he has called us to love the hurting in Thailand. Our first week has been great! We...

When venturing to new places you often find things you aren’t accustomed to seeing. The difference may be seen in the street food where everything from fruit to pig liver is served on a stick. It may be seen in the skin tainted, tangled limbs of the beggar on the sidewalk. It may been seen in the woman flaunting herself on the street corner. Fresh experiences, sights, and smells are sometimes in other countries and sometimes right outside your front door. One privilege that my team and I have had while being in Thailand this far has been meeting a small few of the 10% of students who...

She sat on her legs with her small bare feet poking out behind her. In her hands she held a cup with sticks of incense; she shook it between moments of meditation. Her mother sat beside her on the maroon carpet, silently modeling the worship of generations past. Giant statues of gold stood tall in front of them, candles burning; fragrant clouds of incense engulf both the figures and the hearts of those worshiping. Even in this place of darkness, when it seems as if satan has won, Jesus reigns. Before Jesus came, our predecessors had many rules...

Our Fall 2014 team has officially arrived in Thailand! On of their leaders, Sara, called around 10:00am this morning and their travel from Atlanta was uneventful and smooth. Even all of their luggage made it! The team will spend the coming days getting introduced to their ministry, coming to know the culture, and finding a routine for the months ahead. They will be getting internet within the week so that they can communicate home and share more about what their days and weeks will look like. Until then, we wanted to let you know that all is well....

It's been a pretty great week, filled with lots of good shtuffs. I now have the knowledge to: -write a blog -engage with...

Our Father all of heaven roars Your name? Sing louder let this place erupt with praise ?Can you hear it the sound of heaven touching earth?
