Last week my teammate Kelly, our YWAM friend Claudia, and myself went on a lunch date with two people we’ve built a relationship with on Bangla Road. They are a couple in their early twenties who work on two of the streets. He is a bar tender in a tiny bar on Soi Crocodile, and she is a bar girl at one of the bars on Soi Easy. They came to tour SHE and see what they had to offer, then the five of us went to eat at a place down the road where Kelly and Claudia ate chicken so spicy they compared it to eating a bowl of the sun. The whole afternoon was just really fun, and once they left...

Ok, I fully admit I am eating my words. I am willingly- and even more than advised- blogging. I can't help it! God is too good and I had to share! Short and sweet version of it: Remember from my last post that our group was going to have ice cream with some girls from a bar? We sure did. and let me tell you, it was the most beautiful conversation I have ever had.  Last week I knew I was supposed to leave Tip a letter telling her that there was a God who loved her more than she could ever know. I explained it in simple words and left it with her. I had no clue how it was going to be...

Humility.  Over last year I realized just how much I lacked that quality. But I know the power of prayer. Hence I never prayed that God would make me humble. I knew that if I prayed for humility God would deliver, and it would be painful. So I tried to fix my ego on my own.             As I sat on the balcony in the already hot morning, I lowered my head, gulped down my pride, and once more admitted that I was struggling to my team. It was one thing to be honest about my struggles when I was in a triumphant place, or at least a...

One night this past week was extremely hard for me. You see, we pray each night before we step foot on Bangla road and ask God where He wants us to go and such. Well Tuesday night, we had nothing. We had no concrete words from God of where to go.  So as we are praying and walking down Bangla Road, we see a bar that has maybe 2 customers in it and a line of girls trying to make people come in. So we decided to go in and were completely ignored. There was no one else in the bar and girls behind the bar looked completely bored and those on the sidewalk hardly...

Last night when I was on Bangla Road here in Phuket, Thailand, God took me on a date. Yes, the God of the universe, who created everything- took me on a date.  My group as out last night doing bar ministry and each night I pray that it will look different than what we expect- risky, yes I know! So as soon as we step foot on Bangla Road, a guy from Dubai comes up and asks us what we are doing here (I am going to go out on a limb here and say that he totally saw God in us and knew right away that we were not here for the same reasons he was J ). Talked with him for a...
