Standing In The Gap

Have you ever heard someone talking, and they just keep talking about how dumb or ugly or wrong they are? Often time this person is a girl, typically between the ages of 18-22. I just happen to live with 22 girls between the ages of 18-22. These girls are still finding themselves and finding out who they are in Christ. So often they have been told that they are insignificant, unworthy, and unwanted. This is NOT who Jesus says they are. Jesus says they are worthy because they are His. Jesus says...

I had the middle seat. Sandwiched between two complete strangers on a 14 hour flight to Tokyo is not my idea of a good time. But, it was cool. I figured I would make friends with the small Japanese man on my right and the guy to my left. I took it upon myself to clear the air early on in the flight, I did this by offering up my assortment of sinus medication and some raisinettes. The raisinettes proved to be a successful catalyst for conversation, and I soon found out that the Japanese man could speak very little english and the guy to my left (Eric) was going on...

Battle Wounds

I fought with the ocean and lost. It is true for 10 of us who after a day of doing some construction work for SHE got to go to the beach for the first time since arriving. It is incredibly beautiful, secluded, and calm with islands in the distance. All sweaty from a hard days work, I sprinted to the water excited to cool off. Luckily some other people got to the water before me otherwise I might not have a foot due to the razor sharp rocks of death. I of course didn’t have shoes I could wear in the water so it took me approximately 15 min to get up to my neck. In between I tried...

I couldn't have picked a more beautiful place to spend the next 2 months, Phuket scenery is absolutely breathtaking and the people are just as beautiful. My team is staying at a house with a couple other missionary groups, there are 72 people in our house… I love it. I love how busy it is, I love everyones passion, I love the craziness… kinda reminds me of home. The past week our team has been doing a lot of preparation for starting bar ministry next week, preparing our hearts for what we're going to see and just encouraging each other in our identities in...

Getting Ready

We arrived in Phuket after a 12 hour ride from Bangkok. Our host picked us up and took us to our housing – the SHE (Self Help and Empowerment) house. Currently there are 3 or 4 teams here with us which means it's a full house! (For more information about SHE you can click on this link http://www.shethailand.org/ )Lately, we have been helping out with SHE by serving in small ways such as helping with cooking, cleaning, construction and day care. Next week we are going to go out to the bars in Bangla road to form relationships with the women working at the bars there. As for now,...
