For Sale

Sitting in a bar Wednesday night, drinking coffee, and talking to one of my new beautiful Thai friends, I noticed the two cutest little girls sitting off to the side. They were talking and laughing as two older girls braided their hair. They couldn't have been more than 5 years old, so I assumed they were either daughters or sisters of one of the bar girls. I asked my friend who they were, and her response completely took me off guard.  "They're for buying." I couldn't have heard her right. As the older girls took them over to the mirror and started fixing their...

It RAINED!

It rained both physically and in the Holy Spirit. Seriously I cannot believe how AMAZING last night was down on Bangla Road. I just have to voice God’s power and His goodness. As I declared that the Holy Spirit would rain down on Bangla Road as it did the night of that big storm, I also prayed for physical rain to pour down, clearing the streets. A lot of us have been praying for this, and last night it happened! Let me say that again. GOD ANSWERED US BIG TIME! I don’t even remember how it all came to be. It was the Spirit of the Lord working in us and through us. We came out of...

Jesus Bring the Rain

There was the most incredible rainstorm early this morning!! We have had some intense rain here, but never like this! As I listened to it and watched the lightning from my bed, I couldn’t help but feel God’s power in the storm. I have never experienced a rainstorm so powerful! I couldn’t see 5 feet out the window! I seriously thought Christ was returning to Earth!! It was AMAZING!!    “You heavens above, raindown my righteousness; let the clouds shower it down. Let the earth open wide, let salvation spring up, let righteousness flourish with it; I, the...

“He left me alone”

Monday night "Why did he have to leave? Now he left me alone" Haan said with tears welling up in her eyes. She proceeded to talk to me about her British husband who passed away last July. It sort of took me by surprise that she would open up to me so soon since this was the first time that I had met her at Rooster bar. The night started off by meeting up by the Starbucks as usual and praying with our group of four. All of us had a feeling of discouragement, tiredness and complacency that we hadn't understood. As we sat, talked and prayed for encouragement, ...

God sure is a GREAT husband

“I declare that this place is HOLY- that God WON this place when He died. That Jesus triumphs over Satan even in what seems like the darkest of places”   Last night, these are the words that continuously spewed out of my mouth—loudly, on Bangla road. More than ever, the darkness was obvious and I, like others, had a difficult time with seeing lust.   At one of the first bars we stopped at last night, a movie with Adrien Brody appeared on the screen. I LOVE film, so of course, I watched…only to see a full sex scene with him and an alien, an evil alien. What...

“Be a sheep…” WHAT?!

“’I am sending you out like a sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.’” Matthew 10:16   Man, you really have to be careful about what you ask God sometimes. When you ask Him to break your heart for what breaks His…He’ll do it. When you ask Him to stretch you and grow you…He’ll follow through. I mean, that’s a beautiful thing…but it also realllllly sucks sometimes.   Since we have started ministry here in Phuket, I’ve really been praying for God to stretch me and...
